Well, we all have our own unique tastes in films. Some have rated this as a 10. Go figure. I'm struggling to figure out why I'd give it a 1. This is absolute, utter nonsense from beginning to end. It isn't frightening even for a moment. It's bizarre and bewildering. I struggled to stay awake for much of its run - and I watched it in the middle of the day. It never really seemed to be going anywhere in particular that I could figure out. It's filled with a cast of characters who are distasteful, unlikeable - just plain not nice. I suppose you could say that it captures the reality of a child's thought process - young Steven, told repeatedly not to go into the cornfield of course goes into the cornfield several times. But I have to confess that I never quite understood what was going on. What, actually, was in the cornfield that had Steven so scared? I have no idea. All I can say is that this is one of those movies that make you assume that the words "Based On True Events" have to be taken with a grain of salt about the size of Montana. (1/10)
