Children of the Corn is a 2009 American supernatural slasher film directed by Donald P. Borchers and written by Borchers and Stephen King, adapted from King's 1977 short story of the same name.[1] It is the eighth installment in the Children of the Corn film series, and is a remake of the original 1984 film. It was released on September 26, 2009, on the cable television channel Syfy.[1] Set primarily in 1975 in the fictional town of Gatlin, Nebraska, the film centers on traveling couple Burt and Vicky as they fight to survive a cult of murderous children who worship an entity known as "He Who Walks Behind the Rows", which had years earlier manipulated the children into killing every adult in town.[1]
