A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Hollywood mined the published works of Stephen King with such reckless abandon that even his short stories were fodder for the big screen. "Children of the Corn," adapted from a story in his "Night Shift" collection, is a prime example of using an author's name to sell movie tickets. Though filmed on-the-cheap, with bad performances and cheesy special effects (even for its time), the movie was successful enough to spawn (so far) six sequels. The story of a travelling couple who happen upon a quiet town in which all the adults have been killed, leaving a batch of snot-nosed, psychotic kiddies to run things (with the help of a monstrous entity in a nearby corn field), would make an intriguing "Twilight Zone" episode. "Children" is needlessly padded out to feature length, and we're subjected to some of the worst child performances ever filmed, particularly by cult-leader Isaac (who'll convince you some kids SHOULD be beaten). Still, the movie has its fans, and there is some unintentional humor to be had here for those inclined. Anchor Bay now offers this corny classic (no pun intended) on UMD for PSP junkies everywhere. *For now, DVD Corner has elected not to assess letter grades to the sound quality of UMDs, since portability is the primary appeal of this new format.
