Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The first must-see film of the year.
The 1984 remake of Children of the Corn is a great movie. This is awful. This the second remake of Children of the corn. The first was a 1983 short film called Disciples of crow. It was ok. This has an awful story line. It also has awful acting. It also an awful ending. It is not scary. Do not bother with it.
Anytime Isaac said something in this movie a started laughing, though that was not the only time I laughed at this movie. I don't know why they decided to cast someone so young for Isaac, definitely an awful choice, though a humorous one. The male lead was flatter than the road they were driving on and the female lead was ridiculously over-dramatic. This movie did not have any of the tension and creepiness of the original. Malachai was as comical as the original. The female lead NEVER stopped talking, it was just a constant torrent of her bickering with her , it was relentless. Her performance was awful. By far the worst part of this movie. The best line of the movie was when her husband said "Just give it a rest". Half of her lines didn't even make any sense. She would just start blurting out random garbage. No effort to improve upon the original, which could use a lot of improvement. 1/10
This movie is very special. So special actually, I created an account just to review it and hopefully save at least one poor soul from wasting an hour and a half of their lives that they can never...EVER...get back. The movie consists of a married couple who fight and bicker so much that you actually hope they will die. The acting is horrid, so on top of hearing two people fight non-stop, its not even believable. I read that casting was only two weeks prior to production...and it shows. The children aren't scary, creepy, or anything really. They're just kind of silly. The storyline lacks any depth at all, and you find yourself praying for "the good part" but it never comes. I wasn't expecting much from a made for TV SyFy movie, but this movie didn't even live up to my very low expectations. Plain & simple, don't waste your time.
I was dozing when this came on and Kandyse McClure's screaming and nagging got me off the couch and moving around like I should have been. I swear I wanted to punch her in the face until my arms got too tired to lift. It's hard to see how her 'psycho' war vet boyfriend didn't snap and tear her head off her body. He's all cool and calm and she's gone full shrieking harpy for what must have been 10 or 12 minutes until he slapped her once which shut her up for maybe 45 seconds.This is the kind of movie that makes you wish an asteroid came down in the cornfield and wipes out most of the state and everyone in it. Who knows maybe in the 5th remake it will and aliens will pop out and join forces with the Amish Devil-Children or whatever they are. Nothing that anyone does makes the least sense. Ever. Whatever a rational self-preserving non retarded person would do, these characters do the opposite. So you're sort of rooting for the Devil-Farmers pretty soon. You're hoping there's a treasure trove of rusty farm tools with which they can use to slaughter the cast.
