'Children of the Corn' Remake Lacks the Gore

For those of you excited for Sci Fi Channel's remake of Children of the Corn, today the Sci Fi Wire caught up with Kandyse ("Battlestar Galactica") McClure who plays Dualla in the film written and directed by original producer Donald P. Borchers. Read on for some bits and pieces about her role and to see what type of film she thinks this is.

What hurt the most about the interview was when McClure explained that the remake won't be that violent (damn TV movies!).

"Well, violent ..., I don't actually think it's going to be that violent, in terms of what you actually see happening, kind of graphic violence," she tells Sci Fi Wire. "I think we're trying for the psychological thriller, for the implied violence. It is pretty gory. I have to say there's a lot of blood. There's definitely a lot of blood. But the stuff with the kids is really what creeps me out. It creeped me out watching it on set, and I imagine after they've rendered and doctored it and put the music in that it'll be even more disturbing. But there is a lot of gore. Not so much as the Saws or The Texas Chainsaw Massacres, but for Children of the Corn there was a lot of fake blood on set."

But there is hope that we'll see a more violent cut on DVD.

"As far as I know, I think that was the plan. Donald had spoken about a possible overseas theatrical release. So there were certain shots that, yeah, there was the Disney version—the TV version—and the theatrical version of what it was going to be."

In the remake former Vietnam vet BURT's marriage to VICKY is on the rocks, but Burt hopes to rekindle their old flame with a second honeymoon driving trip. Unfortunately, their journey takes them into the heart of darkness -- a seemingly deserted rural community that conceals a grim secret among its rows of tall corn...

I have yet to see a movie with the title children of the corn in it that i have liked yet, and how many were there? 7,8 or more? i lost track because this is one of the lamest franchises in the genre, MY OPINION that is!

Nohand.....it's implied violence. Kind of like actually WATCHING a car crash and passing one by that happened 30 minutes ago.... then again, I'd like to stick a knife in the eye of all those gawkers who like to slow down to 5 miles an hour to "see".

Ok i have to disagree with the title as well.. No where in the interview does it say is lacks "Gore".. It says it lacks "violence". tsk tsk. ;-)

There's actually nothing wrong with implied violence. If done right, it could prove to be very disturbing. The thing with implied violence is that it leaves a bit open for the audience to fill in the gap. That's almost STRONGER a connect than actually showing the kill. Especially in a lot of modern movies. some of the kills they present, while are graphic, aren't as good as what I'D picture had it been implied. Not to mention the remnants of what's left is almost more disturbing and gutwrenching than the kill itself, especially if the corpse and it's remains are left for a considerable while to rot and collect maggots. Though, this IS Sci-Fi Channel we're talking about. They WON'T do it RIGHT.

What a truly pointless remake.

Next time there mr d read the entire article before you post news about it instead of just skimming the first part. Exact quote "It is pretty gory. I have to say there's a lot of blood. There's definitely a lot of blood." At any rate who cares if its gory? A horror movie doesnt need buckets of guts to be good and a movie shouldnt be based on its graphic content or lacking of. And a final note, who gives a shit about children of the corn anymore?

Oh darn, since the original "Children of the Corn" is known among horror fans as being ultra violent...NOT.

I'd have to say that the best 'killer kids' film I've ever seen was Who Can Kill A Child. It blows away all the Corn Children movies put together. Check it out - you'll dig it!!!

Sci-Fi channel needs to stop making movies. Everything they make blows.

I like the Sci-Fi channel it's the only cable station with enough balls to still make horror movies. As long as the movie isn't shot for shot the same I'll be happy.

I'll say it again: At this point in time, gore flicks are for wusses! It's all been done, every which way possible, a million times now. And, by now, anyone with even *half* a nutsack should be able to watch someone eat an eyeball sandwich - for real! - without even flinching. If gore is still an effective shock element to you, then, sorry... you're just a big sissy! It's all been done. It is now pointless. And this ongoing reliance on buckets of food colored karo syrup is driving our beloved genre INTO THE GROUND.

READ THE SHORT STORY if you don't understand why it was made this way.
