Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton are a young couple who get trapped in a small Nebraska town taken over by a child cult who worship something hilariously named “He Who Walks Behind the Rows”. Years ago, little weirdo Issac rolled into the town of Gatlin and convinced all the kids to murder the adults. Poison coffee takes out a good chunk and then everyone else over the age of 18 gets their ass violently slaughtered. The young couple stumble into the nothing town to report a homicide after crashing into a kid with a slit throat. They come across a couple annoying youngsters (the little girl being a psychic or some shit) that don’t buy into Issac’s lunatic message about some kind of fertility demon wandering the corn fields and attempt to escape with them. Standing in their way is Issac’s loyal lieutenant Malachai and his gaggle of murderous children. R.G. Armstrong shows up as a mechanic not long for this world, Courtney Gaines is memorable as Malachai for all the wrong reasons, John Franklin stands out as Issac for all the right reasons (I mean, they’re still the wrong reasons… just better) and Linda Hamilton ends up crucified in a cornfield. This flick lacks any serious bite so it just comes off more silly than anything else and by the time it gets goofy, it’s too little too late. “OUT-LAN-DER!”
