Children of the Corn
“And a child shall lead them...”
HorrorThriller
A traveling couple end up in an abandoned Nebraska town inhabited by a cult of murderous children who worship a demon that lives in the local cornfields.
VIBE
This is a chilling descent into rural dread, where the innocence of childhood is twisted into something truly sinister. It feels unsettling and cultish, building a palpable sense of unease through its folk horror aesthetic and the oppressive atmosphere of a secluded, fanatical community. A classic slice of 80s supernatural terror.
