Children of the Corn - 4 stars out of 10

"Children of the Corn" isn't scary as much as it is one of the weirdest movies that I have ever seen.  The cinematography is great as they can create the brutal murders in your mind without actually showing it on-screen.  A lot of this film is average, such as the acting and the special effect, but Stephen King's unique and perplexing story is this film's greatest draw.  Although the whole religious side of it made me cringe, I'm amazed at how believable it was that this kids took over their town and couldn't stop wondering what the secret was behind it!  I also really appreciated the set with its deserted town with corn mysteriously all over the place.  More than any imagery, the music absolutely sets the freaky tone from the very start.  It certainly isn't the best scary movie ever, but I will certainly think twice before venturing into a cornfield ever again.
