Children of the Corn 8 Petition
As a true fan of the Children of the Corn series I decided to start a petition to send to Dimension films regarding the making of Children of the Corn part 8. Back in 2003 the project was said to be going ahead but after 2 years of silence nothing has happened with it. I emailed the director of Darkness Falls, Joe Harris, who was supposedly directing the 8th installment and he said that Dimension haven't gave him the word and the project is out of his hands now... boo!
Even if you don't like the series please sign it because Joe hopes to make a sequel that explains these movies a bit more and thats what us fans need! A decent attempt at a sequel... even though Darkness Falls did nothing for me! please sign it here http://www.petitiononline.com/COTC8/petition.html |

You're a fan of Children of the Corn? The entire series, not just the first movie?
Why?

Well, yes I am.
I am a bigger fan of Stephen King's short story, which I think the first movie should of followed to the detail. So a remake could also be a good thing - they could act out the entire short story, there is enough of it to make an hour and a half movie out of it. I also liked the short film 'Disciples of the Crow' by John Woodward. But the reason I like these movies so much is probably because of the influence from the Spanish horror film 'Quién puede matar a un niño?' aka Who Can Kill A Child? (which inspired King to write the short story). I love B Grade Horror films and the idea behind these are awesome! I must say though - some of the sequels were absolute rubbish!

Sorry, but the first one was a trainwreck as far as I'm concerned and I hate the idea of sequels even more (be it 'Children of the Corn' or any other film).

Well I gather you have not heard of Who Can Kill A Child?
It has it all - Atmosphere, Suspense, Psychological Horror, Gruesome Deaths! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075462/ You can purchase the movie from here http://www.xploitedcinema.com/dvds/dvds.asp?title=5426 As all of you have said, Children of the Corn and the sequels were not that good, well I don't agree but can understand that this just isn't your type of movie. Us fans though need to see a decent attempt at one of these things with a quality script. I'd even back a remake if that ever happens. But in todays world why not? We already have A House of 1000 Remakes out there... Last edited by Josiah; 12-08-2005 at 11:02 PM. |

Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest is a fuckin' down piece of 90s horror cinema. Probably the finest entry into the series. Same deal with Leprecaun 3. Shit films gathered enough energy together that should've been the first film... enjoyable none the less. Great short story and the cover makes a fuckin' dope as fuck t-shirt but weak series in my eyes. But the third film is epic and all the missfires were worth it for those results.
But your either a epic fan or a deranged advertising robot. I'm picking the later.... I hate reading ads.... and if you were the epic fan you sound like youd've posted here before without spewing crass commercialism down the communities throat. People like you have exploited the genre disgustingly..... you have no respect for the fans, writers, actors, directors. You treat them like a commodity and you have no passion for the genre. But whatever what do I fuckin' know. |

Again, awful film and the only reason it has survived as long as it has is because Stephen King's name was on it and it was made in the 80s when the video market was flooded with bad horror movies that unfortunately are considered "classic" now. I'd support a remake on it rather than a continuation of a series that never should've been. The original was plagued with bad acting, bad editing, horrible screenplay and laughable special effects. The only thing it had going for it was a cool theme song and Linda Hamilton (and even that's debatable on this one). There's a reason the title fell into public domain and is now sold at Walgreen's for $2.99. If you do have some interest in getting another made, good luck (seems strange that's all you've posted about). Yes, people here are into horror films, not "horrible" films. CK |

Indeed, some of the kids themselves took on a rather sinister appearance - particularly Isaac and Malachi. The film conjures up some rather blasphemous imagery too, and there is a nicely apprehensive eerie atmosphere surrounding the whole thing. Some of the deaths in the sequels were fun, but the films themselves were mostly forgettable.
