I just watched Children of the Corn on Hulu, and I must say, when I first watched it, as a kid, I really liked it, I felt like it was scary. When I got a little older and read the work it was derived from, I felt like it wasn't true to the story. Then I read that maybe SK wasn't so thrilled about it either ( the version with Linda Hamilton...) and liked another, more truer version. So I got my hands on and watched that version, and I enjoyed it's loyalty to the story, but liked the one that wasn't as true to the story more somehow.
Rewatching the one with Linda Hamilton on Hulu today, I must say, although it isnt as true to the story as I thought it could have been, as a stand alone story, I did enjoy it. When I say standalone, I mean, if it wasn't a SK movie and I didn't have the expectation that it live up to his work, I would think it's just scary enough.
The scariest thing is the creepy little old man preacher child. I was raised in a place in Alabama not too unlike the creepy little town of Gatlin and I think what really freaks me out the most is that I visited a number of places as creepy as Gatlin.
The religious zeal is creepy enough alone, without all the evil little kids.
...trapped in the middle of nowhere with the Crazy Christers! Oooohhh Spooky.
