'Children of the Corn' - High-Def Digest Review
E has reviewed 'Children of the Corn.' He says the movie has a lot of faults, but somehow manages to entertain 25 years after its release. This Blu-ray sports improved video, audio that makes the most of its source material, and extras that should please the fans. This is worth a look, especially when Halloween gets closer.

The review, while fair, doesn't really capture how astonishing the transfer looks, considering its age and low-budget status. It isn't gonna look like TRANSFORMERS, to be sure, but for what anyone would rightfully expect, it's damn near gorgeous.

You make a good point, Filmmaker, but 3.5 stars is not a bad grade either. Compared to other DVD releases, this BD is excellent. But with so many other excellent catalog titles available, I feel that 3.5 is quite generous and more than adequate for anyone looking to upgrade.
It is well worth the purchase.

on my scale, a 3.5 in any category is VERY GOOD, certainly nothing to scoff at.
bought this from BB @ 12.99. won't have time to view it for a while, but @ that price, it's hard to pass it up.

I really liked this movie. Almost has a cult following. The first 10 minutes are chilling and it just sets the tone. I'm glad they put in some hidef extras, which means this is a definitely pick up for me!

Shit, I haven't even seen this in probably more than 15 years (and I'm only 28) but I picked it up because it was only $12.99 at Best Buy and I didn't want to walk out of the store empty-handed. I expected a horrendous transfer. Will pop it in the player in the near future and hopefully be pleasantly surprised now. Also cool that there are 3 decent features in HD that are exclusive to this release. Nice work, Anchor Bay!

Actually, the review is misleading...Peter Horton was starting the internship!
 I picked it up at BB, too, and am quite happy with it. I loved the movie growing up, but the special effects look extremely dated.

I've always wanted to check out this movie as I'm a Linda Hamilton fan, but I keep hearing bad things...
