In our “The Good, the Bad, and the Verdict” film reviews, Joseph and Mike give their thoughts on a slice of cinema. For this installment, it’s RLJE Film’s Stephen King adaptation Children of the Corn, the latest genre flick from writer/director Kurt Wimmer (Ultraviolet; Equilibrium). The horror outing, which gets a theatrical release on March 3 and an On Demand and Digital release on March 21, stars Elena Kampouris (Sacred Lies TV series), Kate Moyer (Our House), Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior; Dark City), and Callan Mulvey (Avengers: Endgame; Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).
Synopsis Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, a twelve-year-old girl (Kate Moyer as Eden Edwards) in Nebraska recruits the other children in her small town to go on a bloody rampage and kill all the adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler (Elena Kampouris as Boleyn Williams) who won't go along with the plan is the town's only hope of survival.
