Getting pretty dull
This is the dullest of the CotC films so far, but it's too late for me to turn back now. Much like the last 2 ones, it doesn't seem directly related to the original film, but just another variation on the basic setup. The corn matters again this time, however, and He Who Walks Behind the Rows is back, though this time as a fire in a corn silo, for some reason. For most part nothing really happens. There is a plot, of sorts, involving the main characters brother who joined the Corn Cult and so on, but it's just another basic re-do where a pack of young people stumble into a town full of evil children. They stand around for a long time, eventually some people die, but not in a particularly intriguing fashion. David Carradine makes a brief appearence, and he's passably amusing, but the film hasn't got a whole lot else going for it. Also, the head evil kid isn't very good, as has generally been the case in this series. It's tough to make small children scary or intimidating, I guess. The film does have an amusingly pointless stinger at the end, and once the killin gets started it's sufficiently amusing, but it's mostly a whole lotta nothin. <

I smell a Friday The 13th inspiration with this...
[good things] <
>This is one of the better Children Of The Corn sequels, one of my favorite. The script is well written, some semi- big stars (Kane "Jason" Hodder, Ahmet Zappa, Diva Zappa, Alexis Arquette, David Carradine) and with some nice gore. There is also alot of hints that the writer/director may of been an Friday The 13th fan. <
>There is a great barn sequence, some almost taken from friday The 13th. Someone busting in the barn door (much like Friday The 13th Part 3), a nice chainsaw heroine fight (alot like Friday The 13th Part 5)and a barn death much like Dick Wieand's (Roy) in Friday The 13th part 5. <

>I own all of the Children of The Corn sequels, and to tell you the truth they are not very good. The first sequel was alright, and then this one, part V were the best. I liked this movie, not because it was unique or even good, but it payed homage (in my opinion) to one of my favorite Friday The 13th movies (Part V). The barn scene was done well as an homage piece to Pam, Reggie and Tommy's duel with Roy Combs in Friday V. The impalement on the spikes were the icing on the cake. Kane (Jason Voorhees) Hodder's cameo pretty much solidifies my notion that the production team must have been fans of the Friday franchise. <
