Warning: Spoilers
"Children of the Corn" is a story about Burt and Vicky Stanton who come across a mysterious village called Gatlin. A town in which only children live.

The couple drives through the streets of Nebraska when suddenly Burt drives over a child that was standing on the middle of the street. After looking at the corps he realises that the child has already been dead - it was killed. They want to inform the police and arrive in Gatlin, but they can't find anybody. The whole village seems to be erased from existence. They later encounter two children and the Stantons learn about a boy named Isaac, leader of a cult which purpose it is to sacrifice all adults in Gatlin to a demon. Malachai (Isaac's right hand) tries to kill the Stantons now together with the other children while Burt and Vicky want to find out what is happening and how they can escape or fight the evil force.

A more or less thrilling story, "Children of the Corn" is a typical 80's horror movie that can still convince with it's supernatural and chilling atmosphere. Some scary scenes here and there and a plot that is, although not perfect, still very interesting.
