They went ahead and made another "Children of the Corn" movie. I guess people were clamoring for another, so Hollywood delivered. While it's going to be direct to video, we did get a trailer that dropped about a day or so ago. As such, I figured we should take a glance at it and see what we're in for.
Well, that sure was a thing.
I'm sorry, this did nothing for me. It is desperately trying to create a spooky atmosphere, but it all just fell flat.
The dialogue is...stilted, to say the least. I know it's a weird thing to harp on in a trailer, but it really stands out in how utterly banal it all sounds.
Judging by what we see, it looks like the cast is doing a decent job of it. They're at least making an effort. The kids didn't really blow me away, but their scenes might be creepier in context. As it is, we just see kids doing what creepy kids normally do. It's probably one of the reasons that this trailer felt so ho-hum to me.
We'll see how the final product fares when it hits DVD in March. I'd like it to be good, but so far, I'm not feeling too optimistic. I'm open to being surprised, however.
