Children Of The Corn: Review

CHILDREN OF THE CORN is another of the lame King adaptations that popped up during the first half of the 1980s, this time based on a short story. Horton and Hamilton are a young couple driving cross-country to Seattle--where Burt, just out of medical school, will begin his internship. Somewhere in Nebraska they find themselves in a small farming town in which the children have murdered all the adults and have set themselves up as a religious cult that sacrifices grown-ups to... read more leave a comment

Stephen King's Children of the Corn is coming to life — again.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sci Fi Channel has added cast members to a TV-movie remake of the 1984 chiller, including David Anders (Heroes) and Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica) as a couple trying to work out their issues by taking a second honeymoon. Alas, their road trip lands them in a seemingly deserted town which hides a very dark secret within in its rows of corn. Also joining the cast are Preston Bailey (Dexter) as boy preacher Isaac and Daniel Newman (Surface) as his rebellious partner-in-crime, Malachai. This remake, which is filming in and around Davenport, Iowa, is set to air in 2009.

October 26, 2006: Masters of Horror 101 | TV Show Recaps | 10/27/2006
Ah... my favorite time of year... the leaves are turning, Halloween plans churning, and Masters of Horror Season 2 is off to a screaming premiere tomorrow night [10PM ET/PT on Showtime]. As I weave my dark tvguide.com web here for the new season, I wanted to give Season 1 a short "re-capitation," and take us all through Season 2 "ghoul school."The Premise and The ExtremeMasters of Horror began as a dinner conversation among acclaimed horror directors, which soon became TV history-in-the-making. Director Mick Garris became the series Creator and Executive Producer, and his vision was to allow the "chosen 13" directors as much creative freedom possible.

However, finding it way too extre... read more
When I heard that David S. Goyer... | Today's News: Our Take | 9/26/2005
When I heard that David S. Goyer was an executive producer of this CSI -The X-Files hybrid, I was pretty juiced. Although best known for Batman Begins and the Blade franchise, Goyer won my heart and mind by reviving (with James Robinson and the ubiquitous Geoff Johns) comics' first and greatest superteam, the almighty Justice Society (or JSA). As far as I'm concerned, anybody who can restore '40s titans like the Golden Age Green Lantern, Flash and Wildcat into 21st-century butt-kickers is definitely a marvel. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino) could have used the help of all three superheroes to find a military-school cadet determined to spread the alien sonic virus. Gugino handles the team with a cool, human authority, and has the most sensual lips this side of Kelly LeBrock. There was a chilling Children of the Corn aspect to Molly's collision with read more
