Uncommon card · No. 181851

Children of the Corn is a 2009 American supernatural slasher film directed by Donald P. Borchers and written by Borchers and Stephen King, adapted from King's 1977 short story of the same name. It is the eighth installment in the Children of the Corn film series, and is a remake of the original 1984 film. Set primarily in 1975 in the fictional town of Gatlin, Nebraska, the film centers on traveling couple Burt and Vicky as they fight to survive a cult of murderous children who worship an entity known as "He Who Walks Behind the Rows", which had years earlier manipulated the children into killing every adult in town. Children of the Corn was released on September 26, 2009, on the cable television channel Syfy. The film was panned by critics for Borchers' directing and writing, special effects, acting (particularly McClure) and lack of character development. Critics also condemned it as inferior to the 1984 film. The film was followed by a straight-to-video soft reboot film to the franchise...
