To elaborate on what i stated earlier, this version of the film is alot closer to the original version of the book, minus alot of the little things that made the book more interesting. In the book, the couple where written to appear to be very annoying and going through some marriage problems. Also the woman whined alot about how they should leave and would often do and say things to piss her husband off, which lead to him constantly ingoring her when she cried for his attention. Plus in the book they go alittle more into his experience in Vietnam which is why they show the flashbacks with the Vietcong.

And they left out alot of the inner conflicts between Malikai and Isaac, and how Isaac was trying to replace Malikai with someone he could have more influence over. Actually I thnk they briefly touched on it in the film but in the book there was alot more too it. Im not trying to defend the film because it is pretty bad but in terms of acuracy in the events, they were pretty close.

all in all, this film is in a rare occassion, is a close translation of the book, but really poor acting, and the fact that if you saw the previous films, theres no surprise at the end, kills this film. I remember when the first Children of the corn came out, alot of people complained how it was nothing like the book. which is funny cause even though this is closer to the book, you really cant find any reason to enjoy this film which is sad cause the book is still really good.

Have the original on VHS(yeah old school fuckers lol). I have to say I rather watch the paint dry on the walls then watch this piece of shit again. I haven't read the short story of Children of the Corn(which I do have). But something tells me that there is more to the book then this. This COTC flat out sucks(watching children die is fun though..especially that BBC..(SPOILER)I was just waiting for her to die). The production value was the only thing good about this movie. Other than that it could have been more elaborate or BETTER. It doesn't even come up to par with time (1 hour and 26 mins) and what's dumb is there is like 4 mins footage after the credits..it's confusing as to why they couldn't just have put that before the credits and come up to par. The whole thing is dumb, and I really could have done without that stupid sex part at the end(waste of time). If you are going to have a sex scene..make it better and longer. This disgraced the original big time.

It's a SciFi(I'm NOT going to use its new spelling,) so I really didn't expect much. But it sucked bad nonetheless.

as bad as this movie was, the sad thing is that is more acurate to the book than the first film. The events in this film play out about the same but the book ultimately had a creepier feel to it.

My favorite part of this entire movie is when they finally killed off the Vicki character. I can't remember when I was so annoyed by a performance. This movie was just plain horrible. I mean, Vietnam flashbacks in the corn fields? And the shots in the cornfield were looped over and over. I was pretty shocked with the sex scene and the outright killing of some of the kids but all in all, it sucked. Hopefully the Weinstein's can do much better, though this movie set the bar at zero.

I have to say being a huge fan of the original, this was total crap. This was so bad I did not think I was going to get through it. Syfy should not be aloud to make movies if this is what we can expect in the future.

Terrible and pointless indeed... Similar to this review

The new "SyFy" logo fucking irks me to the core
I guess SciFi is too complicated and confusing for this ignorant uneducated generation.

Worst movie ever, so bad I couldnt look away. What a disgrace to horror movies and Stephen King...ugh...

and why did they change their name to SyFy? dumb...I want the old SciFi back...

Okay, so it’s my own damn fault.  I could have changed the channel whenever I wanted, but no.  I had to sit through the whole thing, hoping that Children of the Corn would unexpectedly turn into a TV movie of badassery.  I should have known from the moment I saw the commercial say “A SyFy (anyone else really HATE that brand name??!) Channel original movie” that I would be in for an epidemic of bitchassness.

Director Donald Borchers should really stay away from helming another feature.  I know a problem movie the moment I see it and it’s evident from the scenes that the only reason the footage is watchable is due to A LOT of clever, post production editing.  Totally agree about Issac.  There was nothing menacing or controling about him.  Burt should have just walked up and sent his fist through his teeth...DONE!  I wouldn't say its the worst Children of the Corn movie...that title is owned by Revelations, but it's pretty effing weak.
