The Original Stephen King Classic Is Back – Now With Three All-new Featurettes! Twenty-five Years After Its Original Release, It Remains One Of The Top Shockers Of The ‘80s And Perhaps The Most Popular Stephen King Story Adaptation Ever. Something Is Alive In The Cornfields Of Desolate Gatlin, Nebraska, And The Town’s Children Will Do Anything To Protect Its Horrific Secret. But When A Traveling Couple (peter Horton Of Thirtysomething And Pre-terminator Linda Hamilton) Are Taken Prisoner By The Killer Kid Cult, Their Battle For Survival Will Unleash The Most Unholy Sacrifice Of All. The Day That Isaac, Malachai, He Who Walks Behind The Rows And Millions Of Cotc Fans Have Been Waiting For Has Finally Arrived: The Original Children Of The Corn Is Back, Now In Blu-ray And Loaded With Exclusive New Bonus Features.

The murder rate is as high as an elephant's eye in this flaccid adaptation of Stephen King's short story. While driving through Nebraska en route to a new job, medico Burt (Peter Horton) and his wife Vicky (a pre-Terminator Linda Hamilton) nearly run over a mutilated boy who staggers from the cornfields. Seeking help, they enter the town of Gatlin, whose under-20 residents have butchered their parents per the decree of junior-grade holy roller Isaac (John Franklin), who preaches the word of a being called "He Who Walks Behind the Rows." King's original story (from his 1978 collection Night Shift) was a lean and brutal mélange of Southern-gothic atmosphere and E.C. Comics-style gore, which scripter Greg Goldsmith effectively neutralizes by adding a youthful narrator (a grating Robbie Kiger) and putting an upbeat spin on the story's morbid conclusion. Fritz Kiersch's direction is TV-movie flat, with the sole inspired moment (hideous religious iconography glimpsed during a bloody "service") delivered as a throwaway. Aside from Horton and Courtney Gains (as Isaac's hatchet man Malachai), the performances are dreadful, and the depiction of the Lovecraftian monster-god as a sort of giant gopher inspires more laughter than terror. Amazingly, the film spawned six sequels; Franklin (Cousin Itt in the Addams Family films) later appeared in and wrote 1999's Children of the Corn 666. --Paul Gaita
