From the mind of celebrated horror author Stephen King, the man behind such classic terror tales as The Shining, Carrie, and It, comes one of his most chilling offerings yet.
Linda Hamilton (The Terminator) and Peter Horton (Thirtysomething) star as a young couple who find themselves lost on the backroads of Nebraska, eventually winding up in the seemingly deserted town of Gatlin. But the town is far from empty. As the couple soon discover, it is inhabited by a twisted cult of murderous children, thirsty for another blood sacrifice…
Available for the first time ever in Ultra High Definition, Arrow Video is proud to present a brand new 4K restoration of the film that launched one of the most enduring horror franchises of all time. Children of the Corn… they’re an adult nightmare!

Title: Children of the Corn
Review: The first Children of the Corn movie was the best. A true horror story that showed children convinced by a child prophet to kill their parents and then give themselves to a demon when they are 18.

Title: A Cult Classic......
Review: I remember watching this movie when I was really young; by the stars the movie creeped me out. Later here in my adult life I've watched it again, and here's my take on the movie... good, bad, or indifferent. Stephan King's short story of this title in Night Shift was and still is in my opinion a good look at what a cult structure can spawn, and who better to manipulate that children; young people who never experienced the outside world, shielded from it by the small town stigma to the fullest. Along comes a supernatural entity that provokes, manipulates, and in the end controls the minds of the young. of a small town in Nebraska. Obviously the town itself (Gatlin) is fictional, but the manipulation of children through a religious cult is not fictional.... it happens every day. Off topic.... okay, this movie as far as the time period in when it was made was wonderfully done in my opinion. The horrible demise of the couple in the book does not happen in the movie, along with other Hollywood interferences in the story. Still, this movie is a five star rating in my opinion, due to the creepy soundtrack, the claustrophobia of a small town (done very well), and the fact that children were used as the catalyst for the demon to take over the entire town, and when you really think about it, I would use this movie as a reminder of what could happen when cults take over the minds of young people who have no sense of right and wrong outside of their little guidelines layed upon them by "He who Walks Behind the Rows", fanatics, or anything that deals in absolutes in an ever changing world and society..... Boo!

Title: Still scary
Review: I watched this film as a child in the 80âs and it always scared me, so naturally I had to see it as an adult. Itâs still pretty scary and I would recommend for any horror fan to check it out! To this day I will never set foot in a cornfield!
