Plot:
The murder rate is as high as an elephant's eye in this flaccid adaptation of Stephen King's short story. While driving through Nebraska en route to a new job, medico Burt (Peter Horton) and his wife ...( read more

Damn, this hasn't aged well at all. Guess I should have watched this all those years ago when I was a little kid, because I don't see how an adult can find this "horrific" in the least. I got the feeling it was "aimed" at kids who just don't like adults, as for me I thought the kids were pathetic and annoying and the adults weren't that much better. There were cooler slasher-horror films released especially in the 80's so this one can easily be missed.
Even though Stephen King hates it, I find this to be very creepy with a cast that does a good job. The 'children' especially do a great job.
This is possibly the best movie to watch when you want something kinda creepy but so old it's corny. My friend who read the book said that if they stuck to the book, it'd be much creepier.
Honestly,this movie wasnt that wonderful.The main thing that I liked about it was that it was an extremely original idea.The only thing you had at this time involving actual children and horror genre was Halloween and it mainly consisted of teenagers,there was only 3 small children in it and that would be Micheal as a child in the beginning and the two children that Lorie Strode was babysitting,so this was an unheard of concept,for an entire cast of a horror movie to be made up of children (with the exception of Linda Hamilton and whoever the other two guys were).Not many people know of this movie or have seen it,but it was truly a breakthrough in movie production and scripting,which may have been it's downfall also.I dont think many people back then wanted to see a bunch of kids killing people.
I have a friend who saw this at night, in a corn field. They totally took a televion... and a generator... to a cornfield. AWESOME.
