Episode #139: Harvest Horror Fest - Children of the Corn (1984)

Happy Thursday everyone, hang in there the week is almost over.  in the meantime let the horror continue and not just the podcast but the movies we review too!  For our second Harvest Horror Fest review of the season Matt and Mike discuss the 1984 Stephen King classic Children of the Corn.  Extra special topics include The Terminator, South Park, and the streaming wars are really heating up. Children of the Corn is a decent movie today but it is not as scary as your hosts’ thought.  The acting is passable and the script is pretty good but it just does not come off as scary unless you are like Matt and never plan on breeding then all those children are terrifying.  The atmosphere of an empty town in the middle of nowhere is captured very well. The special effects well let’s just say it was the early 80’s and they did the best they could with what they had.  It’s also difficult to watch Linda Hamilton play the victim when in the very same year she battled the first Terminator and won.  Mike the horror lover that he is was not super impressed with this classic.  He gives the film 2.5 out of 5 Reels. Matt thought Children of the Corn was just average.  There were some things that could have been better but overall it’s a passable movie.  He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels. Next week we are doubling down on horror movies, kinda.  Zombieland: Double Tap comes out this weekend and both your hosts are very excited to watch the follow up to the 2009 smash hit horror comedy.  Thursday our Harvest Horror Fest continues with yet another classic horror film, well maybe a cult classic, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.  It is streaming right now on Amazon Prime Video if you want to watch it before next Thursday.  Thanks for listening and we will chat at you next week.
