Children Of The Corn Genesis (2011)



Last night I was unfortunate enough to watch a so called horror flick "Children Of The Corn Genesis" and I am convinced that they have stopped making good horror movies a long time ago. Ok without being biased the first half of the movie was fine but then it really lost all sense as it moved further.

This one too was based on the famous book by Stephen King - Children Of The Corn. However, unlike the real story it was a total waste of time. At least that's what I felt.


However, just in case anybody still has nothing better to do they can watch it (though that's not my recommendation) or if you've already rented or bought the DVD then have a look at it. 

The story starts with a couple who are stranded in the middle of a desert as their car broke down. The young couple try to find some help in this strange place where they meet a weird preacher with a slutty Ukrainian wife. Now the preacher was so reluctant to help the couple to even use his phone but the moment he found out the girl was pregnant he allowed them to spend the night at his place and leave with the delivery man in the morning. Btw the delivery man was quite irritating too.

Though the preacher gave the couple strict instructions to not wander around and go to any place where they are not invited, the girl was irritating enough to peek here and there outside. Such stuff totally gets onto my nerves. She discovered there was a kid locked up in a shed by the couple. Also, she felt the preacher and his wife was part of some cult. Now, when they feel they are at the wrong place some unknown force doesn't allow them to leave. Thus, they were pretty much stuck there.

Talking about the actors, I found the husband from the younger couple cute while they could have opted for a prettier girl to play his wife's role. She was too healthy and didn't even act that well. The preacher was weird enough for his character and so was his Ukrainian wife who wore nothing underneath her white maxi.

It made no sense to me whatever happened after that. The end is so bizarre. You gotta bang your head in the wall as it was too damn senseless. It's a shame they waste so much time making such movies.
