Children of the Corn

2020 · 93 min

A grim, silly slasher that lurches from dead-serious dread to laughable overkill, rarely pausing long enough to build real scares.

Tagline: Every parent's nightmare as you've never seen it before.
Overview: A psychopathic twelve-year-old girl in a small town in Nebraska recruits all the other children and goes on a bloody rampage, killing the corrupt adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won't go along with the plan is the town's only hope of survival.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Power, corruption, violence, survival
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
