Children of the Corn 2023! Image Entertainment. Distributed by RJLE Films. Directed and Written by Kurt Wimmer. Based on Stephen Kings Children of the Corn. Cast: Elena Kampouris, Kate Moyer, Callan Mulvey, Bruce Spence and Stephen Hunter.
When a small Nebraskan towns cornfields are dying Callan Mulvey is given in option for a company to buy the fields from the farmers. At a meeting all the adults agree to this purchase while Callans daughter Bo stands up and tells them to regrow by giving nourishment to the soil. The towns people laugh and say everyone voted to sell while the kids say not everyone. That is when Eden a 12 year old recruits all of the children to fight against the adults in selling the cornfields. Bo has to do everything she can to keep Eden and the rest of the children from killing all of the adults in town.
I give this movie a 2 out of 5. They started filming in 2020 but due to Covid 19 had to stop so some may say this is the 2020 Children of the Corn movie. The true saving grace is Kate Moyer. She plays a fantastic sinister child. Her performance gives you creepy vibes of a child who truly has no remorse/conscience. She would have done great in roles like The Orphan. Other than that this movie really drives away from the meaning of the franchise. Without giving any spoilers one of the major things about this franchised to me is killed with what they did in the movie. The mystique is gone. Also it doesn't really have a cult vibe anymore more of a revenge movie. The girl who plays Bo seemed lost/slow on her dialog. I felt bad for one of the kids only. At the time of this writing you can get the Blu-Ray for $13 on Amazon.com. If you like this review please hit the follow button, share the page and leave a comment!
