Episode: Children of the Corn (1984)
Description: [SPOILER ALERT] Loosely based on a Stephen King's novel with the same name, Children of the Corn explores a corn-god cult led and worshiped by cute little murderous children from the countryside of the United States. This low-budget feature draws a parallel between religious fanaticism, with hints of the Old Testament and some corn farming. The first one gives no room for a sequel, but they just kept popping. Like corn. It eventually turned into an awfully stretched franchise that doesn't even give you crazy gory deaths (except for maybe one or two). You probably won't enjoy this movie...
