RLJE Films will finally release the latest Children of the Corn reboot in theaters on March 3, 2023 and followed by On Demand and Digital on March 21, 2023.
Directed and written by Kurt Wimmer (Ultraviolet), Children of the Corn is based upon the short story “Children of the Corn” by Stephen King and stars Elena Kampouris (Before I Fall), Kate Moyer (Station Eleven), Callan Mulvey (The Gray Man) and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior).
In the film, “‘Possessed by a spirit in a dying cornfield, a twelve-year-old girl in Nebraska recruits the other children in her small town to go on a bloody rampage and kill all the adults and anyone else who opposes her. A bright high schooler who won’t go along with the plan is the town’s only hope of survival.”
