**Soulless adaptation that misses the whole point.** This film follows the short story almost identically, but fails to actually adapt the story. There is zero atmosphere, the characters are unwatchable instead of being entertainingly ha...
This was a okay film. The original Children of The Corn was better. Preston Bailey did a wonderful job in this one. The children of the corn series are phenomenal, but this one shouldn't done better but overall a okay one.
