Good news, hopefully this looks better than some of AB's other Blu releases.
Bad news on a remake though, I can't believe we're already into the 80s remakes...gettin' old I guess. ;) |

I must admit, I saw this for the first time, during the last October Horror Film Challenge, and I was disappointed, having been a huge fan of the original short story, I thought the movie didn't live to my expectations. Out of curiousity though I will more than likely rent the blu edition to see the supplements.

Wasn't there a different documentary on their Divimax Special Edition?

I'd be interested in interviews with the actors who played the children, seeing what Isaac and Malachi are doing today.

I grew up watching this film. It's pretty average, but I'm gonna pick it up for the features.

Definite buy from me. I never got the Divimax edition.

Re: Children of the Corn: 25th Anniversary Edition ----> July 25th, 2009
The film always creeped me out for some reason, then again I probably havent watched it for a good 10 years.

In for one if it's cheap :)

Re: Children of the Corn: 25th Anniversary Edition ----> July 25th, 2009
I'm one of those types that loves to collect all the sequels, even if I know they stink, so I've been holding out for a boxset.
Any CotC experts here? How many sequels were there? Are they good? Any boxsets or trilogy sets? |
Re: Children of the Corn: 25th Anniversary Edition ----> July 25th, 2009
7 movies in all. The last 2 wasn't any good (6 was mediocre, but the last one was terrible). AFAIK, the second one has never been released on DVD in North America. And I highly doubt Disney is going to bother with releasing the other sequels on Blu-ray.

But at the same time these are definitely not movies you need to own on Blu-ray or even DVD, if you have a VCR still they probably play best (especially atmosphericlly) on tape. |

Children has been delayed until August 25th.

Re: Children of the Corn: 25th Anniversary Edition ----> July 25th, 2009
And does it have everything from the Divimax DVD?

Re: Children of the Corn: 25th Anniversary Edition ----> July 25th, 2009
I'm a huge King fan and Night Shift was the first book I ever read of his. This was one of the longer stories in that collection and dragged a bit because of it. The movie was absolutely horrible. I saw it in a preview weekend back in '84 and the studio handed out comment cards for us to give our opinion on the film. I remember writing down, 'I cannot believe this film got financed.' I haven't seen it since. I wonder if my opinion would change now...
Here is a sample extra blank card I grabbed: http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s..._CotC_card.jpg |
