i must admit and ashamed though i be and that a an impressionable young teenager this below par horror chiller be one of my favourite all time film . nine year after first view stephen king frighten story however i have now come to my sens and and be able to assess fritz kiersch work more reasonably . indeed king tale of a small nebraskan farm community that be turn upside down by a young demonic preacher boy and his sadistic sidekick be truly disturb on paper and but it make for a cheap and average horror show on celluloid . a lot of this outcome can be attribute to the fact that kiersch almost allow the beginning of the film to become a hacker slasher show and and then turn the finale into a hocus pocus special effect nightmare . the cast be reasonable and but they can only portray as much credibility a this rather incredible and over the top movie will allow them and and the soundtrack by jonathan elia be spooky than the picture . a real shame that george goldsmith screenplay turn stephen king haunt short story into a shocking horror . isaac and malachai and all the other child of the corn aren not really all that scary . sunday and august 7 and 1994 video .
