Synopsis:

A twelve year-old preacher named Isaac (John Franklin) in the town of Gaitlin, Nebraska, commands the children of the town to kill everyone over the age of 18.  When one child tries to escape 3 years later, his throat is cut by Isaac's disciple, Malachai (Courtney Gains).   As the dying child staggers into the main highway, he is hit by Dr. Burt Stanton (Peter Horton) who is traveling with his girlfriend, Vicky Baxter (Linda Hamilton), on their way to Seattle.  They put the corpse of the child in their trunk and attempt to head toward Gaitlin.   They encounter Chester Diehl (R.G. Armstrong), the proprietor of a roadside gas station, who attempts to detour them around the town.  Upon arriving in Gatlin, Vicky is captured by the children while Stanton is exploring the town, and it is their plan to sacrifice her to feed the cornfields.

I saw this movie when i was teenager in the early 80's. In 2005 I moved to Sloan, IA where part of this movie was filmed. I would go grocery shopping in Whiting where the town square setting, flag pole in the middle of the street and the diner, school and church were filmed. WOW was that surreal. I used to drive, daily the road that they filmed the scene where the boy jumps (or is he thrown) in from of Peter and Ms. Hamiltons car. Crazy stuff.
