Children of the Corn (1984) Review
Next movie in the marathon, 1984’s Children of the Corn. More Stephen King! And uh… yeah, I know I said I’m trying to focus on GOOD movies for this marathon, but I honestly just thought this movie seemed really creepy as a child when we had it on DVD, so I wanted to finally watch it, because I don’t think I ever actually did. But yeah, it’s not great.
It’s directed by Fritz Kiersch, who seems to have not worked on any other movie I’ve heard of, and written by George Goldsmith, who I also had not heard of. Stephen King originally wrote a draft for the script, but it was tossed out for Goldsmith’s script, which removes tons of backstory about Gatlin and focuses more on the 2 adult characters, which is maybe why uhhh the movie sucks.
Two adults, Burt and Vicky, forcibly end up in Gatlin, a town where everyone is killed once they turn 19 – a religious cult completely of children, led by a kid named Isaac. Isaac’s performance is fucking hilarious, and probably gave the movie a whole half a point for me, purely for ironic enjoyment. His right-hand-man Malachai isn’t much different, either. This movie is great for funny child acting.
Burt is the main character, and he’s supposed to be a doctor, but constantly makes stupid decisions. Classic horror trope indeed. I think this is fine in stories if it leads somewhere interesting, but it doesn’t. There’s a point where he says “things just aren’t moving fast enough,” and I think that’s really funny. Maybe it was in the book, I don’t know.
His girlfriend, Vicky, isn’t too bad, but of course there’s a point where she has to become a damsel in distress… would anyone even care about spoilers for this movie? Nothing interesting happens from it. Burt easily saves her and overcomes the… children. I guess I won’t spoil some details, because the ending is fucking hilarious and wild.
None of the acting really stands out in a great way to me, but Burt and Vicky’s chemistry is pretty good I guess. The music as well. And the cinematography is solid, especially the opening mass murder scene which is great. It’s just a shame they went with such a boring script, and couldn’t find good child actors in a movie that’s heavily dependent on it.
2/5
