Children of the Corn (1984) Edit

A thousand deaths, each more horrible than the last.

Adream did come to me in the night. And the Lord show all to me.

After church we've been to Hansen's, just like always.

All of you!

All right.

All right. All right. I'll grab the map.

Alright! See? Two hundred dollars.

Aman and a woman. And these outlanders...

Amen. Peanut butter and white bread!

Amos will satisfy Him. We need the woman.

And did you not spill the blood of the old man...

And don't have to worry About teachers

And He Who Walks Behind the Rows did say...

And I did fall on my knees in terror and hide my eyes...

And I'm so glad That school is out

And it was working with distil.

And just as the blue man was offered upon to Him...

And says God commands?

And the devil that deceived them...

And they probably won't have a phone there either.

And this one cuts up to the highway.

And this.

And we're walking in circles, wasting ourtime.

Answer me that, buddy.

Any religion without love and compassion is false.

Anybody here?

Anybody home?

Anyway, you now crayons and drawings are forbidden.

Are they working there or having a meeting?

Are we safe?

Are you looking forthat lady?

Are you rewriting the whole thing orthe parts that suit your needs?

As long as nobody finds that pictures you've been drawing.

Atest is at hand.

Atime of tribulation has come.

Back off!

Back off!

Be careful.

Because the worship of me is no more upon him...

Because we have a murder to report...

Behold.

Blood starts to coagulate in four minutes.

Burt, is that you?

Burt, is that you?

Burt!

Burt!

Burt!

Burt! Burt!

Burt! Burt!

Burt.

Burt.

Burt.

Burt.

But I think that's because nobody ever asked him to play.

But if anything happens to me...

But let not the flesh pollute the corn.

But there's no room for the fornicator!

But they had a game and music. They're forbidden.

C'mon, buddy.

C'mon, honey! You're making something out of nothing.

C'mon, people Don't you be late

C'mon, Vicky. Hurry up. I don't wanna lose them.

C'mon!

C'mon! C'mon!

C'mon! Make a wish.

C'mon. We haven't got all day.

Careful.

Careful.

Check the doors! Check the doors!

Clothes, matches, compass, pocket knife.

Come back here!

Come on, help me Help me!

Come on, outlander!

Come on, you can tell me.

Come on!

Come on! Come on! Let's go!

Come on.

Come on.

Cross your heat? Hope to die, stick a needle in your eye.

Cut the woman down. Put Isaac in her place.

Damn. This road is becoming a bloody highway.

Day and night, for ever and ever.

Did you hearthat before Isaac? Did you?

Disobedience to me is disobedience to Him.

Do it now oryour punishment will be a thousand times...

Do not blaspheme, Malachai.

Do you know howto run this thing?

Do you live here?

Do you not know you sacrificed Joseph without an offering?

Do you think he lived there?

Don't be a scared cat.

Don't be afraid. We didn't mean to scare you.

Don't ever show up in my emergency room, buddy.

Don't worty. Nobody knows about this place.

Don't you sit there, seize him! Punish him, cut him down.

Drawing.

Drawing...

Easy. Don't look at him.

Everybody's gonna jump and run

Evetybody.

Excuse me!

Folks in Gatlin got religious. They don't like outsiders...

For He has great power. Even greaterthan that of the blue man.

For people who don't like visitors they sure do advertise enough.

Get back to the barn. Hurry up!

Get him!

Get some help and get those doors closed. Quick.

Get somebody to hold this on tight.

Get them to hold on that tight.

Go get him!

Go past the irrigation pump.

Go to the old man. Make sure he tells them nothing.

Good boy.

Good coffee.

Grocety store. Hansen's Cafe. It seems they got a phone.

Gross.

Hallelujah! There are many Lord's mansions...

Hang on. Let me check.

Happy birthday!

Has anybody evertried to hurt the monster?

He came down here after he talked to the minister.

He hooked the hose and he was ttying to roll it out.

He is an unbeliever. Hurry, get Isaac!

He must be taken without her.

He said he couldn't take it anymore.

He said:Joseph has taken his things and fled this happy place...

He speaks to me always. But today he's displeased.

He wants you too.

He was already dead when he stumbled down the road.

He was pretty scared. I wasn't.

He was pretty smart, my dad.

He was reading a page torn out from the Bible...

He went to the barn after he talked to the minister.

He Who Walks Behind The Rows will decide yourfate.

He Who Walks Behind The Rows.

He will punish you. The God of hell will devouryou.

He's a God of blood and sacrifice, not ceremonies.

He's come for me.

He's come for me.

He's come to welcome me.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Maid service.

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Hemingford is 19 miles, Gatlin is only 3.

Hemingford is gotta be straight ahead.

Her blood will spill unless you give yourself up.

Here it is.

Hey, mister!

Hey, this is not a rag.

His throat was cut deliberately.

Hold the outlander!

Holy cow!

How about a week?

How much?

I ain't got no telephone. Sarge.

I am the giver of His word.

I am the word and the giver of His laws.

I am the word and the giver of His laws.

I can do the things I wanna do 'Cause all my exams are through

I can root for the Yankees From the beaches

I can smell you, you stinky little skunks.

I command you!

I could sing and shout

I did evetything You wanted!

I did it right. I swear it.

I didn't get to go 'cause dad didn't like Isaac.

I do understand.

I don't care how much religious they've got. We're going there.

I don't know.

I don't see anybody.

I don't think it's the communists we have to worty about.

I don't think so.

I don't understand what's going on here.

I found the phone.

I found these two in one of the old homes...

I gotta go back there, okay Just stay here and tty to rest.

I guess nobody told them we were coming.

I guess the meeting with Isaac was over.

I hope not.

I just got time To take my girl out today

I know a place to hide. But we gotta hurry.

I know you're in here.

I love you, Vicky.

I need your help! Come on!

I nevertold them nothing. I swear it.

I really thing we should open it.

I said I'd come back foryou. I promise.

I spy...

I swear it.

I think it's the third car in a month.

I think not, Isaac.

I thought he was weird.

I thought so.

I will send outlanders amongst you.

I won't be gone vety long. If anybody comes, honk. Okay?

I'd like to stay here and talk, but I got a transmission to fix.

I'd never make it with you two.

I'll be back.

I'll be right back.

I'll check out the back.

I'll make it. I got a great doctor.

I'm getting tired of that crap.

I'm here, Lord.

I'm here, Lord.

I'm just worried about this internship, okay?

I'm not patronizing you. I just wanna see if there's someone there.

I'm okay. And you? Are you okay?

I'm ready to celebrate my birthday.

I'm ready.

I'm so sorty.

I've been working forthis forfouryears.

If he hadn't come, this would never have happened.

If I knew what it was, I could tell you.

If you get on that road you'll be in Hemingford in no time.

If you tell, you're gonna burn in a lake of fire for all eternity.

In honor of this special occasion we'll have a birthday serenade.

In the dream...

In the last sign we saw Gatlin was 3 miles...

Is dead. Just like evetything else here.

Is he dead?

Is it what He commands?

Is this what you want?

Isaac doesn't let us do anything.

Isaac is gonna keep you company.

Isaac is gonna keep you company.

Isn't that nice?

It doesn't fit.

It happened everywhere in Gatlin that day.

It looks like a swinging place.

It looks like this one goes to Grand Island...

It seems we are in the Moon. We haven't even seen a truck.

It was about 3 years ago. I was the only kid in church that day.

It was He Who Walks Behind The Rows.

It was just a bump. Just tty to relax.

It's a lie!

It's He Who Walks Behind The Rows.

It's Him.

It's ok. Take it easy. Take it easy and relax.

It's okay, understand? You're okay.

It's secret.

It's vety important we speak to some grown ups as soon as possible.

Jealous?

Jesus Christ! Gatlin! What do they have? Amonopoly on road signs?

Jobie and Sarah. Find me a bottle. Aglass bottle.

Jobie!

Jobie!

Jobie!

Just because some suck proclaims himself a holy man...

Just like He Who Walks Behind The Rows.

Kids, you bring me as many hoses as you can find. Quick!

Kill him!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Lake of fire. Fire! He was gonna burn the field.

Leader of what?

Let me check.

Let's get out of here!

Let's just get to a phone or a house or some place.

Let's pretend this guy is Isaac and we'll put him in jail.

Let's see if we can get some news.

Listen, could you take us to Isaac?

Look at me! Think!

Look out!

Look!

Make sure nobody's looking.

Malachai said it was forbidden.

Malachai took us right to Isaac.

Malachai!

Malachai! He will not forgive you.

Malachai?

Matches the decor. This is three years old.

Maybe He'd like to discuss what's going on here with me.

Maybe He's displeased that we have not offered Him...

Maybe they've discovered music...

Maybe you've been listening to this holy roller so long...

Me and Sarah were playing in our old house. We play there lots.

Minister?

Move! Now!

Murderers little devils!

Must have been the wind.

My dad built it...

My passage. It's my birthday.

Nineteen, eighteen... What is this?

No more books and studies

No room for people who watch public television.

No room for the drugs user!

No, Jobie!

No! No!

No! No!

No! No! No! No!

No! Wait! Bring Malachai.

No. Isaac put them there.

None of you will be forgiven. All of you shall feel His wrath!

Not like that.

Now can we get out of here, please?

Now I can stay all day With my buddies

Now listen to me. There's something vety wrong here.

Now!

Nowthe blood of Amos will be shared.

Of course, it's the wind.

Of course.

Officer Hodgekiss. I told you.

Oh, boy!

Oh, great! This must be our day.

Oh, my God!

Oh, yes. The alcohol from the distil.

Okay, two thousand.

Okay, you two...

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Now can we go?

One day Joseph told us he was running away.

One hundred, two hundred, three... I gotta a great idea.

One, two, three, four, five, six...

Open it up when I get there. All right?

Or else, you know what happens.

Or Malachai or anybody?

Outlander!

Outlander!

Outlander!

Outlander!

Outlander! Come on!

Outlander! He's here.

Outlander! Maybe you don't hear so well.

Praise God! Praise The Lord!

Praise God! Praise The Lord!

Praise God! Praise The Lord!

Praise God! Praise The Lord!

Praise God! Praise The Lord!

Push the button at the top.

Question Him not in vain.

Question me not, Malachai. I act according to His will.

Question not my judgment, Malachai.

Quick! Move!

Quiet.

Quiet.

Rudolf, Robert, come on!

Run, come on, run!

Sarah was homesick with mom. She'd turned down with a fever.

Sarah, come on. Tell me what happened to her.

Sarah, what happened here?

Sarah! That's a beautiful name.

Sarge, bring the number six.

Sarge, you be still.

Sarge!

Sarge! Come back here!

Sarge! Come back here.

School is out Everybody's gonna have some fun

Seize her.

Seize him!

Seize him. Do not let him escape.

Seven.

Seven.

She can't help it.

She warned us of the coming of the interlopers.

Shit!

Show me.

Shut your mouth, Isaac! You've grown proud farfrom us.

Silence, interloper!

So evetybody believed him.

So I want you to go back to the car and wait for me there. Understand?

So now we know...

So take you his life and spill his blood.

So what do we do with these two little kids?

So, it looks like it's just you and me.

Somebody here?

Somebody's been messing with the signs.

Something that begins with the letter C.

Sorty.

Starting Monday I've got fifty patients a day to look at

Stop him!

Stop it! Stop that!

Stop!

Take me now, Lord.

Take them back where they were.

Thanks a lot.

That all starts to sound the same. But it's not!

That all starts to sound the same. But it's not!

That bothered Malachai. He had a lot of problems.

That was an animal, right?

That won't matter to Isaac and Malachai

That's an order.

That's when I saw Malachai and the others.

That's when Sarah started drawing these pictures.

The Blue Man!

The day that He Who Walks Behind the Rows made himself known.

The Lord did come to me and he was a shape.

The night is coming. Night is His time.

The others were with Isaac out at the cornfield.

Then why are we still running?

Then, we'll get on the radiator.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

There's something vety strange about this town.

These latches ain't worth a damn. Blow all for nothing.

They come already.

They had a game, music...

They just got off that way.

They listen to Isaac and Malachai.

They thought he had a great spirit.

They'll take it as a sign.

They're tired of yourtalk. I've showed them what I can do.

Things aren't happening fast.

This is the end!

This isn't even a road.

Throw it! It's the right time!

Throw it! Throw it!

To get Officer Hodgekiss. But it was too late.

To live happily ever after.

To me is something, to you is nothing.

Town Hall.

Tty this.

Tty this.

Under the awning!

Unless a ghost is using it.

Unless the fierceness of His face struck me dead.

Up to them, we've been forgiven 'cause we were in the corn...

Vicky, come here!

Vicky, come on, run to the barn!

Vicky, get out of here!

Vicky, see if you can find me a thick rag.

Vicky?

Vicky?

Wait a minute! Come back here!

Was cast into the lake of fire and sulphur.

We better get going now. I got a lot of driving to do today.

We better put that suitcase away.

We cannot remove her from this place. It is holy.

We go to Him the first night of our nineteenth year.

We gotta get going.

We have a surprise foryou, Amos.

We have our own fuel now from the corn.

We have your woman. She still lives.

We know what to do, don't we?

We may never knowthat.

We must offerthem tonight when Amos leaves.

We never should have listen to that old fool.

We want to give you peace.

We won't wait much longer.

We'd be better off in a biggertown anyway.

We'll be in Gatlin soon.

We'll be out in a minute.

We'll bring the Lord two by using one.

We'll have that transmission fixed in no time...

We'll see howthe Lord favors you.

We're already in the car. Why wouldn't we just go to Hemingford?

We're back where we started from.

We've had an accident. We need to use your phone.

Well, can we go?

Well, I guess I'll give you this anyway.

Well, there really isn't that much stuff in here. Just kids' stuff.

What about Hemingford?

What about these two?

What are you doing there?

What are you doing?

What are you gonna do if you catch them?

What card?

What did you wish for?

What do we have here?

What do you mean: As it's written? Written where?

What do you mean: There ain't nothing in Gatlin.?

What do you want?

What happened to her? Please!

What happened? Where's Vicky?

What have I done?

What if he gets to get out of jail with a free card?

What if it holds some sort of clue?

What if we tried to make it to the road?

What is it?

What is it?

What is this?

What kind of God tells children to kill their parents?

What the hell is going on here?

What was he reading at the Bible?

What was it? Do you know?

What were you doing here by yourself? Just playing records?

What? In this?

What's that supposed to mean?

When he was young, he was a preacher...

When I grow up, I'm gonna have all the money in the world.

When I went to get the suitcase it was still fresh.

When my dad wouldn't get up I ran from Hansen...

When the communists launched theirfirst strike.

Where are you taking me?

Where the beast and the false prophet shall be tormented...

Who are you?

Who is it? Is that you?

Who is the Blue Man? What did he do?

Who's Isaac?

Who's Malachai? What do you mean?

Why did you have to go afterthem, Sarge?

Why do you have to be such a jerk about it?

Why don't you draw me a picture we won't tell Isaac...

Why?

Why? What happened to him?

Will be unbelievers and profaners of the holy.

Yeah, three kids that tried to steal our car.

Yes, my sister.

Yes. It's weird here, but it's safe.

You are the one who's lost favor with Him.

You bastards! You can't do this to me.

You can see evetything from here.

You can't use the rest room.

You did? Can I see?

You get on that road and don't get off it. Understand?

You get to Hemingford as fast as you can.

You guys go back to the alley. You, overthere. You two follow me.

You guys wanna stay with us for a couple of days?

You have it? Hurry up. Where is it?

You have the gift of sight.

You have to go to Hemingford. It's about 19 miles down there.

You hear me? Come back here.

You just better mind until I get back.

You just come here to play?

You know not the laws. He speaks them only to me.

You know what that means now?

You must die!

You stay here and wait for me. All right?

You think it might've been some accident with farm equipment?

You, overthere.

You, overthere. He's coming.

You're not supposed to draw?

You're whacko.

You've got a pretty sick way of celebrating it, pal.

You've gotta think. Think.

Your presence profanes this holy place.

Your will, Lord. My passage.

1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.

A rat. Yeah. Just an ordinaty rat.

And keep the doors locked. Why? Where are you going?

and pointed that way? That's what I thought.

and stay for a couple of hours? I wish.

Are we safe? Yes, it's weird here, but it's safe.

Are you going through the corn? I can't go no other way.

Are your mommy and daddy around? They're in the corn field.

Back off! Sit down!

Burt, this is somebody's house. I know. I just want a phone.

But we don't like it here. I said you'll be alright!

Can we go with you? Please! No.

Come on. It's only me and Sarah. Sarah?

Corn. Right.

Did I miss a turn? No, we've been going straight.

Easy. Calm down. I kneeled down next to him.

for the homosexual! No room!

Get the bottle! Okay!

He could have been out there! I couldn't just leave it there.

He did? Yes.

He will wreck with you. Great. I don't know who He is.

Hi, we got a... I ain't got no gas.

How about a month? No.

How are your wife and Sarah? Dad was worried...

How is she? I'm worried, Dave.

How's it coming? Fine.

How's that sound? Okay.

I don't get it. Camping stuff? Yeah.

I don't need gas. I ain't got no diesel.

I felt like we're being watched. Possible.

I need to use your phone. Telephone?

I thought Isaac never came here. But he's always been here.

I'll get it first. Will not.

I'm scared. Me too.

I've some things you could look at. Is that right?

Is he... Oh yeah.

Is that a proposal? No, it's not.

It looks like primitive folk art. I think it's repulsive.

It says it should be... Amos!

Just keep going! Where did you get this guy?

Just like that record player. But we like it.

Just tell me where we are. I don't know.

Let's check it out. Why? I thought we were going.

Let's open it. No.

Maybe she can help. Fine. You stay here with her.

Me too. You can't.

Morning, Dave. Morning.

Morning. Morning, priest.

No room for commitments! Amen!

No room! No room...

Oh God! Easy, easy. C'mon.

Okay. Come on, let's go.

Okay. Hang on to it. You got one. Good!

Overthere! What?

Right. Sarge, sit! At ease!

Sarah and Jobe. Sarah has the gift of sight.

Seize him. Take that.

She'll bring the man to us. No.

Sweetheart, tell us who Isaac is. Our leader.

That would take us 20 minutes. We'd just found people.

That's nice! Turn it over.

The size of Seattle. Yeah.

There you go, Jobie. Thanks.

These people died so young! Not died.

Thirteen thousand hundred dollars. Thirteen thousand hundred dollars?

This is a blessing, my child. I've seen this car up on the road.

This is Burt and I'm Vicky. Are you here alone, Sarah?

Those guys are friends of yours? No way!

Unless you tell anybody I'm gone. We won't.

Vicky, c'mon. Burt!

Vicky! Sarah!

Vicky? Burt? Over here!

We'll never gotta get out of here. We'll too. Stop it.

We're wasting ourtime, Vicky. Give her a chance.

What about Gatlin? There ain't nothing in Gatlin.

What are they doing there? All the grown ups are there.

What clearing? Where? In the corn field.

What did you draw? You.

What do we do? I don't know.

What if... I said it'll be alright.

What is it with this corn? You got me.

What stopped him? Malachai.

What was that? Probably my golf bag.

What? Malachai.

what's so secret about drawing? I'm not supposed to.

Where? Right there? Yeah.

Who are you? Jobe. Stop asking questions.

Who says? Isaac? Malachai.

Why not? 'Cause I'm gonna have it.

Why not? He's scaty.

Will too. Oh yeah? How?

Will too. Will not.

Yes, you know where she is? They took her out to the clearing.

You don't understand. I need... lf you don't buy gas...

You want the usual? Yeah, strawberty shake.
