October 2, 2009 / 1422
Plot: A group of teens become lost in middle America and arrive in Gatlin, Nebraska, where forgotten children have taken on the duty of serving “He Who Walks Behind the Rows”. The teens have less than a week to get out of the town. However, they find that their car is destroyed, and the children are held accountable.
Alison, the leader of the teens, overhears that the children are the adopted wards of Lucas Enright, a madman who considers himself the savior of the children, and the earthly representative of He Who Walks Behind The Rows. Upon remembering that her brother is also among them, Alison and the rest decide to go to Enright’s farm to discover the truth behind the bizarre cult.
Upon arrival, they are stopped by Ezekiel, who could be considered the leader of the children, and he informs them they are on private property and must leave. After a debate, Alison is finally allowed to see Luke. He informs her that her brother is there, and agrees to let her see him, only to be rejected by him for leaving him alone with their abusive father. Jacob informs her that he is engaged to be married to a girl named Lily, and also states that she is pregnant with his child. Kir, one of the teens, eventually becomes a part of the cult after reading a passage out of their “Bible”.
Ezekiel holds a ceremony for the annual sacrifice to He Who Walks Behind The Rows, which involves a child who has reached 18 years of age to leap into a flaming corn silo where the god is supposed to dwell. Jacob is chosen, but he refuses and tells Ezekial that his religion is false, angering him. After he leaves, Kir chooses to take the fateful course, and climbs to the silo and leaps to a fiery demise. The rest of the group wishes to leave the town, but Alison refuses to leave without Jacob. They leave her, and she eventually reads a message Jacob left her in his Bible. It translates to “Help”, and she realizes he wants to escape. She enlists the help of the sheriff to stop Luke and Ezekiel. Read more …
