10 Upcoming Movie Sequels Everyone Will Ignore
10. Children Of The Corn: Runaway
“Based on the short story by Stephen King!” claims the trailer, a mite disingenuously as this is the tenth entry in a franchise King admits he stopped watching in the 1990s.
The title doesn’t seem apt because according to the trailer there isn’t much running in the movie, just lots of shots of people talking in rooms punctuated by the occasional false scare or dream sequence. Then a kid picks up a sickle or a hatchet and yadda yadda yadda.
The plot involves a pregnant woman escaping the corn cult, but we’ve seen that done before in Children Of The Corn V: Fields Of Terror (1998), which at least had the distinction of starring a pre-fame Eva Mendes. In fact, previous installments featured early roles for Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron, so if you want to see the stars of tomorrow in humiliating dreck this is probably a must-see.
