Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton R.G. Armstrong

A young couple travelling cross-country find themselves stranded in the small town of Gatlin, a place with prospering corn fields and no adults in sight.

The terror brews as the new arrivals discover the secrets behind the abundant crops of corn and the children who inhabit them. Led by the mysterious Isaac and the unhinged Malachi, the blood-curdling rituals of the children of Gatlin are soon revealed to their new ‘outlander’ guests. Featuring stellar performances from Linda Hamilton (Terminator) and Peter Horton (Thirtysomething) and based on a short story by Stephen King, ‘The Children of the Corn’ is a horror classic that has spawned multiple sequels and imitators, but none as harrowing as this masterpiece of horror.
