I like the music alot. It works better for you if your a kid. When I was little it scared the shit out of me. Now a days it cant, but there still are a couple of creepy ideas in that film.

PEACE OUT!

I haven't seen it in a long time myself but I remember thinking that it was OK. Nothing too exciting and hardly the best Stephen King flick ever but also not the worst.

And, hey, am I the only one who kinda digs CHILDREN OF THE CORN 3??? I think it was well directed even though the script was cheesy and Screaming Mad Geoge's FX at the end were a treat!

I thing the film is ok.

King took inspiration (putting it MILDLY) from a vastly superior Spanish film called "Who Can Kill A Child?". Track it down, it's one of the best 1970s horrors.

'Children of the Corn' seems to suffer from some Hollywood hackwork. I'm not sure of the studio-related history of the movie, but it reeks to me of studio interference.

The story was bleak, and a bit disturbing. But the movie comes off as a action-adventure flick and really loses something in that trasition.

But the movie does have some good points. Some great performances by very young actors. And the cafe scene was done rather well, I thought.
