Like the best kind of '80s slasher movie, Adam Cesare's Clown in a Cornfield is a bloody good time. Set in the dying town of Kettle Springs, the revitalization efforts of the town's adults are undermined by the teens, who just want to have fun until they can leave the small town behind. That leads Frendo, the clown mascot of the now closed Baypen Corn Syrup Factory, to begin picking off the kids one by one as he "culls" the bad crop.
