While it is more true to Stephen King's original story this film proves that that isn't necessarily a good thing since our heroes are a bickering, unlikeable couple and the ending is a downer.
Still I give it props for trying to use elements from both the original film and King'... read more -

I've liked Stephen King's Children of The Corn series since I was a kid and I was very interested when I heard that they were remaking them. The new version is different, but that's not always a good thing. It's definitely a lot more gory and frightening, which is a good thing, b... read more

This SyFy remake of the classic Stephen King tale fails to reach its goal with very cheesy yet boring scenes with not so brilliant acting.

Not one of the best remakes out there. The characters in this couldn't come close to compare to the originals.

Very weird. There was a whole bizarre teen sex ceremony with all the little kids standing around hooting and hollering. It made me feel uncomfortable.

Not the best Stephen King adaptation. It's okay up to the ending and then it gets confusing and not very well explained.
Acting is good by the adults but the children (except Newman and Nikolas) are all touch and go. Sometimes they have good scenes and sometimes not so good scen... read more
