Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, twelve-year-old Eden recruits the other children in her small town to rise up and take control. Tired of having to pay the price for their parents' mistakes, Eden leads the kids on a bloody rampage, killing the adults and anyone who opposes her. With all the adults jailed or dead, it comes down to one high schooler who won't go along with the plan and becomes the town's only hope of survival.

Critics Consensus

Bereft of a single kernel of fear or excitement, this Children of the Corn suggests the franchise is irrevocably lost in a maize of sub-mediocrity.

the original was terrible, so I don't understand the comments l complaints about the remake. I personally had a lot of fun with this one. The demonic corn stalk monster was cheesy, but everything else was fine. it isn't perfect but I had a good time

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Inept filmmaking on almost every level. The lead evil kid was nice, but even with knowing the film is about a demonic Corn stalk, all logic is utterly baffling

The little evil girl gives a pretty solid performance in this terrible movie.

There’s a lot of screaming and blood, and kids giggling while clutching rusty farm equipment, but none of it leads to anything.

Film Focus Online

A few nice shots here and there, one strong lead performance and a handful of instances of gore simply cannot elevate it, making it a chore to sit through.

Rated: 1/5

Kate Moyer’s Eve comes across as a blend of Greta Thumberg and Damien Omen.

[I]t is, yet again, a lazy, indifferent attempt to merge folk horror and killer kids that offers no scares, no laughs, and no fun.
