The Children Of The Corn movie franchise has run for an inexplicably long time and has also introduced many viewers to future movie stars.
The Children Of The Corn series has an unusually strong track record of giving future movie stars their first major roles. There have been certain movies adapted from Stephen King's work that really stretched the definition of "adaptation." Probably the most notorious was 1992's The Lawnmower Man, a virtual reality horror that had almost nothing in common with the King short story of the same name; the author later sued to have his name removed from the project.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY For such a concise little tale, Children Of The Corn still spawned an eleven-movie franchise. Considering the original wasn't that great to begin with, many of the sequels are borderline unwatchable - with some crossing the border. Of course, these low-budget outings provided a good training ground for young filmmakers and performers, and looking back on the series, several of its actors would go on to become film stars in their own right.
Charlize Theron Children Of The Corn III moved the saga from Nebraska to Chicago, where a follower of the titular cult plans to bring "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" to the big city. Urban Harvest is one of the more enjoyably trashy outings of the series and ends with a gory monster massacre. A young Charlize Theron made her film debut as one of the cult's followers and suffers a particularly unpleasant demise during the final act.
Naomi Watts Naomi Watts would find stardom with horror movies like 2002 remake The Ring or David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, but her first leading credit was thanks to 1996's Children Of The Corn IV. The Gathering isn't one of the stronger outings in the franchise, but Watts manages to turn in a grounded performance as a medical student who has to protect her family from the latest batch of murderous kids.
Eva Mendes Children Of The Corn V saw a band of luckless teenagers running afoul of another group of "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" enthusiasts. Among them was Eva Mendes, playing Kir. This Children Of The Corn outing was Mendes' first movie role, and she was reportedly so displeased with her work that she immediately hired an acting coach for future roles.
