Why let a Global Pandemic stop you from making yet another Remake?
This is the 2nd Remake of Children of the Corn, which was shot in 2020.
It was technically released in 2023, which makes that even more pointless.
After that, he kills the Adults in the House.
A bit later, a hostage situation involving the armed kid ends with the adults pumping in a gas used to knock out cattle.
All of the kids die.
The girl outside (Eden) is a bit radicalized goes a bit crazy.
The corn in the Town is dying.
The Adults plan to take a Government subsidy to make up for the loss.
The Adults plan to take a Government subsidy to make up for the loss.
The kids in Town- especially Eden- are upset about not being heard and/or being ignored.
Eden leads a revolt- a bloody one!
Off-screen, she managed to capture all of the Adults and kills a few as well.
Our good Lead- Boleyn- tries to make peace, but the kids keep up the killing.
Can Eden be stopped before all of the Adults are killed?
Is she full-on crazy?
Or is she too far gone?
Is she full-on crazy?
Once you spill blood, it's hard to stop...or so I hear, if any Police might be reading this.

The Film has moments. There is some good Drama here.
I wanted to like it.
My complaint about later Corn Films is that they don't feel like they belong. Whether they didn't have corn or didn't have killer kids, something was off.
This has both.
I just wish that this was better.
Our new villain Eden is good. I don't necessarily know how deadly she would be, but I liked her in the role.
Boleyn here isn't bad, but I just didn't buy into how she stood there so long and let things happen.
The biggest thing is that they just gloss over key details- like how they captured all of the Adults- and then kind of disappointed with the reveal involving He Who Walks (Not Behind the Rows in this one).
This feels closer to the Book in a good way, but still isn't as good as it could be.
This German Title, however, is fun.

A Film that is both true to the premise...and also not. I want to give points for effort, but the results are only so-so.
