I actually have no problem with a CHILDREN OF THE CORN remake – in theory – for a couple reasons: 1) the original is an irritating and silly movie, and 2) the Stephen King short story is quite creepy, and a decent flick could be made out of it. Donald P. Borchers agrees with me, since he’s directing the new one.

“Who the f*ck is Donald P. Borchers” you ask? He produced the 1984 film, which starred Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton, about a couple who wind up in the freaky town of Gatlin, which is run by a nasty little shit named Isaac and his clan of brooding adolescents.
