2.5/5
This lazy reimagining of a terse Stephen King short story drags itself through the horror paces, with a predictable slow build toward a couple of splashy gore sequences Go to Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central 03/02/2023

None of it feels either inexorable or cruelly arbitrary. Children of the Corn '09 plays the notes but doesn't hear the music, and the improvised bits are deadly to the cohesion of the piece. Go to Full Review Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is 03/01/2021

Borcher took the only redeeming qualities the original had and made them worse, but decided to keep the worst aspect of it, how utterly boring it was. Go to Full Review Amie Gibb TV Equals 01/15/2020
I understand that you can't always expect Oscar worthy performances in horror flicks, so when I say the acting is pretty bad, keep in mind that I had realistically low expectations. Go to Full Review Scott "The Foywonder" Foy Dread Central 01/15/2020

Good cinematography. It hits the right grim tone. Otherwise, about as enjoyable as getting a popcorn seed stuck in your teeth. Go to Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies 01/02/2020

Caleb L Oct 5 A VERY low hanging fruit type remake, Children of the Corn is more faithful to the story, but at the expense of any kind of characters to care about. See more Elvis D @Elvis-Del-Valle 03/19/2023 Esta segunda adaptación del relato de Stephen King es sin duda mejor que la primera adaptación. Es más fiel al relato original y es bastante cruda. Claro que recicla la banda sonora de la película original, ya que es un clásico de culto, pero en vez de verla como una recreación, cualquiera que haya leído el texto original se dará cuenta de que aquí fueron muy fieles y eso es debido a que King fue el guionista de esta película. Aunque el final no fue de mi agrado al principio, después me di cuenta de lo bien que plasmaron en esta cinta el relato de King y eso convierte esta película en la mejor de toda la saga. Mi clasificación para esta película es un 10/10. See more 05/09/2021 an afternoon "sick at home" kinda movie. See more Steve D 06/18/2020 cheap looking, scare free remake or a forgettable original. This is one of King's weakest stories that just won't go away. See more 12/18/2019 The only thing bad about this movie is the wife she the worst of all im glad she got blown up in the car. The husband wasn't great but hes nothing like her ethier. those kids wern't creepy like in the original. Issac's not even scary but atleast he's cute Malachi's covered in blood making him look crazy. The husband and wife both die at the end hung up on crosses like scarecrows with corn in their eyes. Theres even a sex scene where a guy and girl fuck in the church infront of kids that are like 8 10 and 12 years old! They wern't really watching it happen but its still Fucked up and the kids loved it. This wasn't that bad of a movie just a bad wife. See more Steven W 09/12/2019 A pitful and inconving horror film filled with more problems than solutions See more Read all reviews
