Vertigo Releasing has today announced plans to release writer/director Kurt Wimmer’s Children of the Corn. The distributor will bring the chilling horror to digital platforms in the UK from July 31, 2023.
Based on the short story by Stephen King, the film is a chilling and barbaric tale of misled youth and small-town rituals . Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, twelve-year-old Eden recruits the other children in her small town to rise up and take control. Tired of having to pay the price for their parents’ mistakes, Eden leads the kids on a bloody rampage, killing the adults and anyone who opposes her. With all the adults jailed or dead, it comes down to one high schooler who refuses to conform and becomes the town’s only hope of survival.
