This Chidlren of the Corn remake might just have no hope. With Ehren Kruger at the helm, one of the writers responsible for the monstrosity that was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, we might see one of the first disappointing horror remakes to date. I myself feel a lot of remakes for horror have actually been pretty good, but I don’t know how I feel about Kruger. According to Variety, this opportunity was swept up by the Weinstein group and needed to be done.

“We felt the [original] film was a missed opportunity,” said Bob Weinstein. “If you read the short story, it’s got such a strong feeling to it and there’s this religious overtone to it as well. Ehren wants to hit it hard. It’s popular in Hollywood to say you [are] re-envisioning a project, but a lot of the time they’re just carbon copying the original. We are bringing something new to the story.”

My final verdict, Kruger can’t do horror right (The Brothers Grimm, The Skeleton Key, The Ring 1 & 2, and Scream 3), especially with trying to reproduce a classic that could be a great story. This is a story of gingers, and this won’t be scary? How could a story about ginger kids not be scary? Damn you Kruger!
