Children of the Corn

In the remote and eerie landscape of Nebraska, a young couple, Burt and Vicky, embark on a road trip to Las Vegas, filled with anticipation and excitement for their future together. As they journey through the seemingly endless plains, their excitement and joy begin to wane as the sun sets, and the night descends upon them. After driving for hours, they arrive at a quaint, abandoned town called Gatlin, searching for a place to rest and refuel. However, upon their arrival, they discover that the town is deserted, and a sign points to an abandoned gas station. The couple strolls into the abandoned gas station, where they find an eerie and foreboding atmosphere, replete with old, rusty equipment and eerie shadows. As they search for any signs of life or a possible place to stay for the night, they stumble upon an old gas station attendant's logbook, which seems to be a personal diary. The logbook is filled with ominous warnings and dire prophecies about the town, which only adds to the couple's growing unease. Unbeknownst to Burt and Vicky, they are not alone in the town. Gatlin has a dark secret. It is inhabited by a cult of children, aged between 9 and 13, who have turned against humanity, fueled by a twisted and demonic ideology. These children have formed a tight-knit community, united in their reverence for a god named He-Who-Walks-Behind-the-Rows, which inhabits the local cornfields. The cult is led by a charismatic young leader named Isaac, who seems to possess an unnatural intelligence and magnetism, inspiring loyalty and terror in his followers. Isaac and the cult believe that the cornfields are a sacred place, inhabited by their god, and that they have a divine mission to rid the world of sinners and non-believers. The children view themselves as instruments of their god's will, and they have a brutal and merciless approach to dealing with anyone who stands in their way. As Burt and Vicky settle into the abandoned gas station, they begin to notice the eerie and oppressive atmosphere in the town. They hear whispers, and disembodied voices seem to follow them. As the night wears on, the couple tries to make the best of their situation, but they can't shake off the feeling that they are being watched. When they wake up the next morning, they discover that their car has been vandalized, with all their belongings stolen. Frustrated and desperate, they set out to find help, but their pleas for assistance fall on deaf ears. The townspeople seem to be hiding something, and as they try to leave the town, Burt and Vicky realize that they are trapped. As tensions build, and the couple's situation becomes more dire, they stumble upon a dark secret. The children of Gatlin have built an intricate and deadly trap for them, a gruesome sacrifice to their god. Burt and Vicky are captured by the cult, and they are subjected to a harrowing and brutal ordeal. The couple is presented to Isaac, who reveals his twisted and sinister intentions. Isaac views Burt and Vicky as sinners, destined to be punished for their impurity and immorality. He convinces the cult that the couple is an abomination to their god, and they must be sacrificed to appease He-Who-Walks-Behind-the-Rows. As the cult prepares to carry out their ritual, Burt and Vicky are thrown into a desperate and final stand against their tormentors. With their backs against the wall, they fight for their lives, but they are outnumbered and vastly outmatched by the cult. In a heart-pounding climax, Burt sacrifices himself to save Vicky, but not before he is horribly mutilated and killed by the cult. In a twist of fate, Vicky manages to escape the clutches of the cult and stumble into a nearby cornfield, where she finds herself face-to-face with the monstrous embodiment of He-Who-Walks-Behind-the-Rows. As she runs for her life, the cult gives chase, and the cornfield becomes a battleground. Vicky fights for her survival, but in the end, she is captured and brought before Isaac, who pronounces her a sacrifice to their god. As the sun sets on Gatlin, Vicky is ritually sacrificed by the cult, becoming the latest victim of their twisted and macabre game. The cult celebrates their victory, and Isaac, now more powerful than ever, looks out upon the cornfield, ready to lead his followers into a new era of terror and domination. The movie ends with a haunting and chilling image: a group of little children, all dressed in white, marching into the cornfield, their eyes fixed on some unseen horizon, as the camera pans out, revealing the infinite and seemingly endless expanse of the cornfields, where the horrors of Gatlin await the unsuspecting.
