What happens

Children of the Corn is a 2020 American supernatural slasher film written and directed by Kurt Wimmer. It stars Elena Kampouris, Kate Moyer, Callan Mulvey and Bruce Spence. The film is the third adaptation of Stephen King's short story "Children of the Corn" (1977), also serving as a reboot and the eleventh installment in the Children of the Corn film series. It is the first film based on King's story to be theatrically released since Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1993). Children of the Corn had premiered in Sarasota, Florida on October 23, 2020, and was released in an 18-day theatrical window starting on March 3, 2023, by RLJE Films and by Shudder on March 21, 2023. Like its predecessors, the film received negative reviews from critics and was a box office flop, grossing only $575,179 against its budget of $10 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
