Children of the Corn (2009 TV Movie)
3/10
Do not insult the original by calling this a remake
28 September 2009
Warning: Spoilers
First, this is not a remake of the original movie. This is a completely different movie which follows the original short story. One of the only things I didn't like about the first Children of the Corn movie, was that it took it's own path and decided to have a happy ending. It's nice to have a movie that follows the short, which is why I gave a 3 instead of a 2.

The acting is absolutely horrid. Anyon who could actually give this movie a rating of higher than 4, probably was a member of the cast or crew. Kandyse McClure's acting was so bad, that I wanted to jump through my screen and smack her myself. Neither of the two main characters are likable, and I wanted them both to die, so that I didn't have to hear them carry on any longer. I honestly would have stopped watching the movie but, I was hoping for the scene in the first one, where the children kill the adults in the diner. I remember the one kid locking the diner door before the killing starts. Sorry, but that scene isn't here.

This film didn't scare me at all. There wasn't a single scene that was worth watching the entire movie, just to see it. Bad acting and bad directing equals a really bad movie. 5 to 10 minutes into the movie, you'll want to turn it off. Go with that instinct, if you have decided to watch it even after my warning.
