Children of the Corn (1984): The grip of belief can turn even children into monsters, and the rural areas that were supposed to be the purest ideal of Americana culture can be infected with terrors both incurable and inescapable. When innocence is subverted and that subversion is incomprehensible, rational adults become its most helpless victims in an eternal, unbreakable cycle.

Children of the Corn (2020): GMOs are really bad! The evil adults poisoned the earth with their GMOs :( Let's start a social media campaign to show how the corn has been hurt. Adults are evil, so killing them is at worst morally neutral. Also what if the only character with agency and competency was a tiny child? An eeevil child? Haha, yeah. Spooky corn kids. Just like the original.
