CHILDREN OF THE CORN Remake Finally Given Theatrical And Home Release Dates

We were starting to think this one would never see the light of day, but the 2020 re-adaptation of Stephen King's Children of the Corn has finally been given a March theatrical and on-demand release...

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 it'd ever see the light of day, but the movie has 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, who fall under the sway of a demonic entity. One of the children, Isaac, is possessed, and convinces the other kids 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).
