    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was rushed into production by Dimension Films because the studio was about to lose the rights to the Children of the Corn series, the last film Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) having been released 10 years prior to this one (the Children of the Corn (2009) TV film was not made by Dimension Films and was instead another adaption of the original novel).
    • Crazy credits
      After the credits of the main cast is another scene.

      Followed by Children of the Corn: Runaway (2018)

    It had a really weak ending and nothing going for it
    Excellent cinematography and sound. It's hard to make the eighth (ignoring the remake) in a series original and so this just makes it weird. At least it had a big budget modern atmosphere. It looked nice and there were some tense scenes of suspense but the story was really nonsensical. It had a really weak ending and nothing going for it except good technical aspects.
