Stephen King's classic horror set in the cornfields of Nebraska. Children Of The Corn Traveling through Nebraska, Burt (Peter Horton) and Vicky (Linda Hamilton) stop in a small town to report the death of a child on the highway. There, they discover something strange about the community: all the grownups are gone, and the children seem to belong to a strange cult. What's worse, it's a cult that sacrifices adults to the dreadful 'he who walks behind the rows'...
Children Of The Corn 2 A young couple uncovered the horrors that lay hidden in the small community of Gatlin, Nebraska. Three years earlier, all the adults suffered a terrible fate at the hands of their own sons and daughters - victims of a bloody cult of human sacrifice. Now, the bodies have been discovered and the neighbouring townsfolk of Hemingford agree to shelter the trumatised children, unaware that they are opening their doors to an awesome force that will threaten their very existence! Once again, the evil power of 'He Who Walks Behind The Rows' is reincarnated and commands the children to rise up and rid the land of the adults who defile the sacred corn. It's time for the final sacrifice...
Children Of The Corn 3 Young Gatling residents Eli and Joshua are orphaned after the younger brother kills their father. However, the terror of Gatling goes urban when the two boys are placed in the custody of two foster parents in Chicago...

This is a 1980's Stephen King Movie and if you expect a film that was an oscar contender then you are going to be very disappointed.
However if you like low budget, cheesy horror (although it somehow went through $3 million in budget) then you will probably like this film. The extras are nice and COTC 2 and 3 are pretty poor, but o.k.
For heavens sake don't buy the COTC 4 - 7 Box set unless you are a hardcore fan of the series.
For anyone like me who has seen the film or likes similar films - 4 Stars
Anyone who like high budget, GI graphics and non stop action - STAY AWAY

A great box-set of the first 3 movies in the "Children of the Corn" mini horror-franchise. The first film will always be the best for me, there is something chilling and wonderfully atmospheric about the empty abandoned town, and the whispering fields of corn, and as night falls the place becomes a haven for evil, in a genuinely scary movie. The sequel "The Final Sacrifice" is similar to the first film, but the children have been relocated to a new town where a small group of them wreak havoc on the local population in an effort to rid the place of adults who have defiled the corn with their sin. Slightly more violent than the first film, and a worthy sequel. The third film "Urban Harvest" is the weaker of the three, where one of the evil kids is adopted by a couple in the city, and attempts to bring the evil of "He who walks behind the rows" to the suburbs. As it is set in the city, it loses the terrific small-town claustrophobia of the first two films, but the cast are good, and the evil boy is genuinely chilling. Worth seeing all three.

One thing I will say about this franchise they dont screw you over, non of the sequels have been terrible compared to most horror franchises. This one is 1 - 3 there are actually 7 films but there are talks of both a remake for TV and an 8th sequel, the last 4 of which are in there own boxset and easily found. The first movie is very good, its creepy, gory and the acting is stellar with Linda Hamilton. The second movie takes place a few weeks after the first movie, the remaining children are lost and timid now that their leader isnt around anymore...so some willing parent take them in little do they know he who walks behind the rows has chosen a new leader and the horror continues. The third movie looses itself a little and attempts to pull off some overblown FX like a huge demon that looks so fake eating people who are actually and obviously barbie dolls...that part was upsetting to see. Children of the corn III whilst being kinda sloppy in places is still worthy of the title and is worth it.
