CHILDREN OF THE CORN Remake Heading To Theaters This March

After being shelved at the height of the pandemic, Kurt Wimmer's re-adaptation of Stephen King's short story, Children of the Corn, has finally been given a new release date...

He Who Walks Behind the Rows is pleased.

Director Kurt Wimmer's re-adaptation of Stephen King's creepy short story, Children of the Corn, was shot just before the pandemic caused widespread chaos back in 2020, and was shelved shortly after. We weren't sure if the movie would ever see the light of day, but it's finally been given a new release date.

Deadline reports that the Children of the Corn remake will hit theaters on March 3 for an 18-day window before being made available on demand and digital on March 21.

The original Children of the Corn came out in 1984, and while it has amassed something of a cult (no pun) following over the years, it's generally seen as a bit of a dud. Its sequels are even worse, and the less said about the previous 2009 remake, the better.

King's story focused on a devout community in the fictional town of Gatlin, Nebraska, whose children fall under the sway of a demonic entity. One of the kids, Isaac, is possessed, and convinces the others to massacre the adults as sacrifices to the "god" of the corn.

It sounds like this new take will deviate from the novella quite a bit, however, as "a psychopathic twelve-year-old girl in a small town in Nebraska recruits all the other children and goes on a bloody rampage, killing the corrupt adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won’t go along with the plan is the town’s only hope of survival.”

The cast includes Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kate Moyer (When Hope Calls), Callan Mulvey (Avengers: Endgame) and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior).
