Artistic License – Biology: Ahaz's blood coagulates within minutes, and he keeps crackling like his bones are breaking every time he's touched. | |

Not as You Know Them | |
| Children of the Corn (2009) / int_1b0040c6 | comment |
Not as You Know Them: Someone coming into this movie will find a lot of things different from the first film. However some of these examples actually undo the Not as You Know Them the original film changed from the short story. Malachai is far more loyal to Isaac than in the original film. Burt is a Vietnam Vet in the remake and has frequent flashbacks. Vicky is black and a former anti-war activist. Isaac is also nine years old in the remake and is implied to be a new leader after the old one reached the "age of favor." Isaac is also harsher and more ruthless in the remake. For example, in the original he tolerates Job and Sarah's apostasy. Finally Job and Sarah are merged into one character, who is killed by Burt while in a flashback. Joseph is implied to be the son of the original leader, having his tie in his suitcase. In the original no such relation is suggested. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Children of the Corn (2009) / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: In fact, it's also toyed with when Burt, who's a Vietnam Veteran in the remake, kills a few of them during a Vietnam Flashback, believing them to be Vietcong hiding in the corn. | |

| Children of the Corn (2009) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: In this adaptation, Burt actually points out the ridiculousness of the idea that an American town in 20th century could become cut off from the rest of the world without anyone noticing. | |

| Children of the Corn (2009) / int_3283f169 | comment |
Coming and Going: A sex ceremony in which two of the adolescent cult members happily conceive a child is spliced with shots of Burt hopelessly stumbling through a corn field filled with dead bodies. His yowl of anguish merges with the girl's orgasmic screams. | |

Someone to Remember Him By | |
| Children of the Corn (2009) / int_46c1dc8e | comment |
Someone to Remember Him By: When the "age of favor" is lowered, many of the older boys who dutifully sacrifice themselves are leaving behind young wives/lovers with babies. It's pretty obvious that the boy who participated in the ceremonial sex scene earlier in the movie was impregnating his teenage lover, also. | |

Would Hurt a Child: While they are evil cultist children, Burt so would. He'll snap their neck, snap the bone in their arm and outright kill them. Did we mention he was in Vietnam? | |

Coitus Uninterruptus | |
| Children of the Corn (2009) / int_49334c8e | comment |
Coitus Uninterruptus: Defied. An outsider is roaming around freely in their sacred corn field, which is something that really ticks their god off. Also, said outsider has already killed several members of their cult. Yet the Children of the Corn don't let these troubles interfere with their rousing nighttime sex ceremony, especially considering they've got a small window for it to work. | |

Fanservice: The sex scene. It has nothing to do with anything else going on and takes place between two adolescent characters who aren't even named and are barely seen at any other time in the movie. If anything, it shows how the cult has continued on for 12 years in full immodest detail. | |

Chosen Conception Partner: While investigating the church, Burt discovers a ledger which contains a list of names of Gatlin's residents, their date of birth and death. the most recent page focuses on a boy named 'Adam' and a girl named 'Eve', clearly destined for each other since birth given the biblical reference and foreshadowing the young lovers participating in the mating ritual. | |

Truer to the Text: While it still adds many new/expanded scenes, this version of the film is much closer to the original short story, including the absence of other adult characters, Burt's past as a soldier in Vietnam, and the original Downer Ending. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: Isaac asks He-Who-Walks-Behind-The-Rows to guide his aim as he just practically whisks a knife at Burt. (Isaac is on a roof, Burt in an alley), which manages to fully connect to stab Burt. Isaac was aiming at his heart, so even if HWWBTR's wasn't giving him a full blessing, he still did one heck of a good job. | |
