Alias


            The film opens in 1963 in the town of Gatlin in western Nebraska, which is in the middle of a severe drought. In a tent out in the vast cornfields, a young boy, claiming that the Old Testament-era Canaanite God whom he calls "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" had spoken to him in his dreams, telling the other children that the sinful and blasphemous adults are the reason for their recent troubles (making a comparison to the corruption in Sodom and Gomorrah). The boy preacher tells the children that they must kill everybody age 19 and over in town; leading them to found a death cult with a prime rule that, once reaching the age of nineteen, one must be sacrificed to the cult's God.Twelve years later in the year 1975, a constantly bickering couple consisting of Vietnam veteran Burt (David Anders) and his wife Vicky (Kandyse McClure) are driving along a back road near Gatlin, Nebraska, planning on celebrating their second honeymoon in California, when a boy named Joseph (Ramington Jennings) stumbles out of the roadside corn and in front of their car. Accidentally running Joseph over, Burt assesses his body and realizes the boy's throat was slashed. After wrapping and placing Joseph's body in the trunk, Burt tells Vicky to wait for him while he looks around with shotgun in hand. Among the corn, Burt finds Joseph's bloodied suitcase and takes it with him back to the car. He and Vicky drive off in search of aid, not realizing they were being watched by Isaac (Preston Bailey), the nine-year-old boy preacher and current cult leader, and his most loyal follower, the 18-year-old warrior Malachai (Daniel Newman).After hearing a group of children giving an evangelical sermon over the radio, Burt and Vicky reach an abandoned gas station before deciding to go to Gatlin after finding the phones non-functional. While Burt drives, Vicky manages to open Joseph's suitcase and finds a tribal-looking barbaric amulet inside which she recognizes as a pagan creation.Meanwhile, in the cornfields in a small clearing, Isaac tells the others about Burt and Vicky arrival and that they, like the "blue man" (the corpse of a local police officer who was crucified for trying to stop them 12 years ago), must be killed to appease "He Who Walks Behind the Rows", who demanded Joseph for trying to escape from the cult.Reaching the town, Burt and Vicky find it seemingly abandoned, with a calendar in a bar still reading 1963. Eventually coming across a church with a sermon board dated as recently as last week, Burt goes inside to investigate, ignoring Vicky's pleas that they should just leave (and taking her keys after she threatens to abandon him). Inside the church, Burt finds various occult drawings, larger version of the trinket that was in Joseph's suitcase and a book listing the birthdays of the town's inhabitants.As Burt skims through the book, Vicky is surrounded and attacked by Malachai and several other boys (directed from a nearby rooftop by Isaac). Vicky manages to kill one of them with Burt's shotgun before Malachai stabs her. Hearing the shotgun blast, Burt rushes outside just as Malachai blows the car up and has two of his boys drag the wounded Vicky away. Chased by the children into an alleyway, Burt is taunted by Isaac (who throws a knife at him not aiming asking He Who Walks Behind The Rows to guide his hand and the knife hits him in the arm ). Killing two of the older boys, Burt runs off into the cornfields, where the children refrain from going without either Isaac or Malachai.In the alleyway back in the town, Isaac confronts Malachai, telling him that by spilling Joseph's blood in the corn he has angered He Who Walks Behind The Rows. After questioning Malachai's faith, Isaac has him pray before the two regroup with their followers. Isaac and Malachai tells their group that they must sacrifice Burt in the clearing where the Blue Man's corpse is held. After leading a song, Malachai and the children begin hunting Burt through the corn. While searching, Malachai is told by Nahum (Paul Butler, Jr), one of the younger boys, that he had a vision of He Who Walks Behind The Rows, leading Malachai to believe Nahum is the new prophet and that Isaac's time is coming to an end. Before leaving to continue the search for Burt (who had overheard the entire conversation), Malachai mentions that they must finish the search before dark, as that is He Who Walks Behind the Row's time.Having lost a large amount of blood due to his arm injury, Burt begins having flashbacks to Vietnam. He begins to ambush and kill a number of the pursuing children, including Nahum. At nightfall, the children abandon the search and return to the town. They have a feast prepared by the females, who seem concerned that Burt was not apprehended.Later that night, Isaac holds a sermon in the church based on the tenet of "be fruitful and multiply" and proclaims the the time of fertilization has come. He beckons a teenage girl (Zita Vass) and boy (Jake White) up to the front of the church and they immediately disrobe and have sex in front of the entire congregation, much to their excitement.In the fields, Burt, lost and delusional, has visions of all those he has killed, and begins wandering around aimlessly, searching for the road to get away as the plant life begins attacking him. Soon, Burt finds the clearing and discovers Vicky who, like the blue man, has been killed and made into a scarecrow. Hallucinating that Vicky's body is talking to him Burt is suddenly faced by He Who Walks Behind The Rows (briefly glimpsed as a towering blackend demon figure with two large red eyes), who proceeds to disembowel him and rip his eyes out in a form of ritual sacrifice.The next day in the clearing, Isaac tells the children that He Who Walks Behind The Rows told him in a dream that 'He' is displeased with their inability to kill Burt, who He had to dispose of Himself like the Blue Man (revealed to the former police chief of Gatlin) who killed several of their kind and tried to burn the cornfield (who, when killed, forced the 'age of favor' from 20 to 19). Before burying their dead, Isaac tells everyone that He Who Walks Behind the Rows has informed him that as of now, the age of sacrifice has been lowered from 19 to 18 as punishment for their sins and their failure to kill Burt on their own. After all the children leave, Isaac stands in front of the a pile of the children's bodies whom Burt and Vicky killed, and as he sets them on fire he looks at something and shouts "Scarecrow!". The scarecrow is revealed to be Burt... now dead and hanging on another cross made from corn, next to the dead body of Vicky and the skeletal remains of the Blue Man/Police Chief.Later after the end credits, Malachai leads all the other eighteen year-old boys and girls who enter the cornfields at dusk, offering themselves to He Who Walks Behind The Rows. While saying goodbye, Malachai's 16-year-old pregnant lover Ruth (Alexa Nikolas), whose faith had earlier been shaken, has a vision of herself setting fire to the corn.
