Re: Children of the Corn (2023, D: Wimmer)
I had shudder for a while but everything seemed like low budget trash. That's not necessarily a bad thing as being a huge horror movie fan I found a lot to like (including a lot of the creepshow episodes people hate) This actually looks decent but they need to keep the isolation from the original - that's what made the movie. If they show the kids taking over a police force, ya kinda have to jump ship. This does look decent.

This is one of those movies that will live or die based on the acting ability of the kids. Based on the trailer alone, that main creepy girl looks pretty good.
You also know it’s a low budget movie when they remix a public domain song for the trailer.

It's been decades since I've seen the original or read the story. With the trailer muted... I have no feelings on whether I think it'll be good or not. I'll check it out down the road. Hopefully it's a good one.

It's about time a filmmaker tackled this long-neglected Stephen King story.
