Children Of The Corn
1984, 93 minutes, Rated R
Isaac, a mysterious 12-year old preacher (John Franklin, who also played Cousin It in the 'Addams Family' films!), arrives in the small town of Gatlin, Nebraska, and commands the local children to rise up and slaughter all the adults so their blood may be used to nourish the withering cornfields. All the children are forbidden to dance, play or sing, and on their 18th birthdays must sacrifice themselves to the evil deity He Who Walks Behind The Rows.
Several years after Isaac's arrival Burt (Peter Horton) and Vicky (Linda Hamilton - Terminator) are traveling cross-country. After a disturbing accident, they are forced to visit Gatlin and find themselves hunted by the children of the town, led by Isaac's bloodthirsty hitman Malachai (Courtney Gains). Burt and Vicky soon learn that there is no reasoning with the cult and must fight for their lives.
Based on a short story by Stephen King, Children Of The Corn is guaranteed to leave you squirming in your seat!
