Children of the Corn
Directed by Fritz Kiersch
A couple must escape from a town of evil kids in this Stephen King short-story adaptation that spawned seven sequels. Burt and Vicky (Linda Hamilton) are traveling through Nebraska until an accident leads them to a town where twisted tykes obey a kiddie preacher (John Franklin, THE ADDAMS FAMILY's Cousin Itt) who demands all adults must be sacrificed to an evil entity who lives in the cornfield. Mixing elements of the '70s horror classic WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? and Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery", COTC is a must-see for any fan of King's tale and '80s horror.

I know I will watch this movie more than 1 time, absolutely loved it. ❤️
Anything Stephen King does I love my favorite author
honestly, it's fun!
A solid adaptation.
Certain parts of the plot are invented, but it is the best and most faithful adaptation of Stephen King's story. A slasher product with touches of mystery that, although it won't scare you, has become a cult film thanks to a disproportionate collection of unnecessary and bad sequels. A third act full of special effects worthy of its time.
