Children of the Corn

A review of the 1984 Stephen King Classic.

"Children Of The Corn" a 1984 film based on a novel by Stephen King is one of the creepiest films ever made. I have seen it a number of times. While there have been many movies derived from Stephen King's novels Children Of The Corn is in a class all it's own.

If you like King's novels, you will like this film. It is one of those movies that make you want to go out and buy the book. Then again though that is typical Stephen King fashion. "If it doesn't grip you in fear and keep you guessing, it hasn't done it's job" sources have quoted Stephen as saying.

I am 21 years old, I first read Stephen King's work when I was young. (Being grounded to my room had it's good points, I read voraciously.) It not only made me an avid Stephen King fan, but inspired me to try my hand at expanding my own writings.

Children Of The Corn made me want to pick up a video camera. I thought "I'd love to make my own films." Needless to say I think if you are an aspiring film maker Stephen King's work is great inspiration.
