    Good story, awful movie

    This movie has the kind of plot that could scare the pants off you. A teen zealot is contacted by an evil spirit, pieces together a cult in his hometown, convinces his peer group to kill all the adults in town, then carries out murders and sacrifices to appease "He Who Walks Behind The Rows". I was scared just from the commercials when I was 14. I watched it last night, and it’’s about as scary as an episode of Friends.

    The "outlanders" ruin everything. They are so unmoved by the bizarre situation, it’’s very difficult to be scared yourself. They hit a boy in the road with a Buick LeSabre, the woman is captured by the kids and crucified, the guy is stabbed in the chest, they confront a supernatural entity, witness a sacrifice & subsequent possession, and set acres of cornfields aflame by pushing gasohol through the irrigation pumps. All the while, they barely hit their target heartrate. They’’re running around town after someone corns up their car (which has the body of the boy in the trunk), constantly encountering horrible situations. Again, they don’’t even really break a sweat. At the end of the movie, it’’s like a sequel to that sled dog movie. They’’re all giddy talking about adopting the two youngsters who help them out. Even then, a psycho from the church springs from their back seat with a knife. After slamming her across the nose with the car door, they just start laughing again and decide to walk to the next town and adopt the kids.

    The best actor in this movie is easily the kid who plays Malachai. He’’s so evil, it’’s awesome. That red hair, the bellbottom floods, the teeth, and a voice that sounds like barbed wire. He wants the blood of the outlanders, he overthrows Isaac, he carries a kitchen knife in a hip holster. He’’s who tormented me in my dreams when I was a kid.

    Big ups to Malachai!

    Freaky Movie

    I enjoyed this movie cause i like Horror movies with kids in them. The movie starts out with your ordinary Sunday morning Church service. Everyone in the town is going to the local cafe for an after-Church service dinner get together. Well, everyone is having a good time untill the kids show up and come into the dinner. They stand around till thier 9-year old leader come to window and gives them a signal. They kill all the adults. Then the movie comes back to present day and shows 3 kids helping thier sibling try to escape. The kid runs through the corn field, but Malachi gets him and slits his throat and throws him out into the road where this couple hit him. They ride into Gatlin and find there is no one there except kids. They find a little girl names Sarah who tells them whats all going on till the kids show up and take the wife away to sacrafice to "he who walks behind the rows" Thier leader is Issac. He tells all th ekids they need to get rid of all the adults...and they listen. Soon, her husband finds her in the corn field where the final showcase is and saves her and they rescue Sarah and her older brother Job they are the 2 kids that tried to help thier sibling escape) Its a pretty freaky movie. When the kids turn 19, they get a knife and engrave the star of the devil thing on thier chest and pass around the little blood dish to the other kids and give thierselves up to "he who walks behind the rows" good movie though, the storey stinked though in "Night Shift".

    Save your time, and read the short story!

    I admit when I was six years old, this movie was a little creepy and made me think twice before passing a cornfield. Now, I look at it and wonder how I even made it past the second scene without falling asleep. The only tense scene in this movie is when Joseph is running through the cornfield. Other then that, it’’s a movie to watch when you’’re bored and
