Special Movie Edition: Children of the Corn (remake)

I hated it. I watched for two hours as these creepy kids used religious justification to kill two people. The only good part...oh wait, there was no good part. It got kind of kinky when the 8 year old preacher (who was in charge) told two of the teenagers to "be fruitful." You know what that means? That's right. They had sex, in the church, in front of all the other kids. And those kids were loving it. They just stood there, eating some corn, watching this girl and boy go at it.

I am pretty sure that act alone, was breaking several laws of the Bible. I count two off the top of my head.

So, anyway, I was watching it because I wanted the outside man who the kids are trying to kill to lay some smack down on these little bitches. I wanted to see some blood. Because, good people should live, and bad people should die. Thus it is written in the movies. The good guy survives, the bad guy dies. Thats how it is. When the bad guy survives, then the audience doesn't feel closure. We want them to die because of the horrible decisions they have made. When children go around killing people, they in turn deserve to roast. Granted, in this remake, the man does take a couple of the kids out, but its not enough. He needed to take out the whole group.

But I digress. The overall movie was bad. The acting was bad. The main characters are this married couple who can't decide if they like each other or hate each other. They are constantly fighting, which is good because you tell yourself, once the kids start attacking they will work together, destroy the little monsters and limp away into the sunset. They have to be limping because of the three times they were almost killed and had to jump from a burning building into a hay bail or something. But when the wife finally goes, she only manages to take one of the kids with her. Really? You have two shots in that shotgun, and were surround by kids with pitchforks. You couldn't swing a dead cat and not hit one, but she manages to miss. I think she deserved to die after that loosely shot.

As for the man, after he evades capture, kills a couple of the kids and survives the night, he stumbles across the kids little corn circle. Sees his dead wife all strung up on a cross thing and hallucinate that she is telling him to give up. So thats what he does. After all of that, he doesn't even get to live.

Its so frustrating for an audience not to have that closure.
