•All the children in the town of Grand Island fall ill with an unknown disease that causes them hallucinations and extremely high fever. After just two days, the disease disappears and the children seem to return to normal, but soon the parents realize that their children are no longer the same; they are as if possessed by an evil spirit that orders them to massacre and kill all the adult inhabitants of Grand Island. A young medical graduate, with the help of a man, father of one of the possessed boys, will take care of restoring the situation to normal.
Another film (precisely the fourth) based on S. King's novel "The children of the corn"; attention however although it is a production for the home video market only the film is not bad at all, succeeding in some sequences to be even "scary". Even if on the back of the cassette appears the ominous writing "Film for all" do not be fooled, in fact in the film there is more than one gory scene (cut fingers, decapitations, dismemberments), making it more violent than many other films banned to fourteen years. Almost better (or at least at the same level) than "Grano rosso sangue" the first film based on King's story even if there are, however, many flaws, including an approximate screenplay and a rather predictable ending.
