Episode 213: 'Enys Men' (2023)/'Children of the Corn' (2023)
from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir
Ricou Browning is one of the most important figures in horror. His iconic work on The Creature form the Black Lagoon is still studied and an inspiration today. The character has proven to be timeless as horror fans of all ages know and love the Creature. We talk about our memories of the man and the movie.Cocaine Bear was never high on our list of priorities. It's a funny idea, it just isn't enough to get us want to rush out and spend our money. Make it a more realistic story involving meth and a gator, however...Thankfully, The Asylum is here to give fans what they want, and it doesn't include Elizabeth Banks.Enys Men is everything you would expect an arthouse horror movie to be. Undoubtedly, this will be a lot of people's favorite film of the year. There is no denying it is beautifully shot and tells a creepy story. The acting is also top notch, which is incredibly important since it is basically a one person show.But if it does not keep the audience entertained, does any of it matter? We discuss pretentious film fans versus those of us who just like to watch movies. Taste is subjective and no opinion matters more, but when the filmmaker goes out of their way to provide an experience instead of telling a story, someone has to call them out.Stephen King has cemented his name in horror and pop culture. No matter how bad an adaption of one of his works is, there is no way it could sully his legacy. Right?The latest iteration of Children of the Corn follows the basic premise of the 1977 short story. A group of creepy kids take over a small town in rural Nebraska. Its been given some modern touches (corn has never been more important), but it does not deviate much from the source material.Is this the worse King adaptation ever? It certainly is one of the most nonsensical with strange character motivations, shoddy editing, and a complete lack of development past the protagonist and antagonist. Despite its (many) flaws, how did it manage to be entertaining?Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
