JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Ilikehorrormovies This movie did start of good but when the kid was discover, it went to s**t. Like WHAT HAPPEN?! I like the first one but this one feels like a cash grab. I want to like this movie but the acting went downhill and the writing. One thing I got to say is who's responsible for this mess? Seriously I want to know. Don't buy it, avoid it.
hellholehorror Excellent cinematography and sound. It's hard to make the eighth (ignoring the remake) in a series original and so this just makes it weird. At least it had a big budget modern atmosphere. It looked nice and there were some tense scenes of suspense but the story was really nonsensical. It had a really weak ending and nothing going for it except good technical aspects.
Realrockerhalloween Genises was a poor attempt to explain the cause behind the cause of what made the kids go mad yet I thought the first two films handled it fine.A man returns from war to find all the adults killed and really was the best part of the feature. The rest became ridiculous when a couple end up in town at the man's house to find he has become a disciple of the corn. How or why is never explained since its usually only children.The entity now lives inside a child who's kept outside in a shed and wants to grow a super army of children to do his bidding.The idea isn't bad, but the conception was horrendous and didn't make any sense. It lacked suspense or penance with a bland caste.There were so many plot holes that it seemed the writers taped together different scripts and branded it a corn film.The movie lacked a fresh film and ended the legacy for the children of the corn series instead of breathing air into a series on life support.
movieman_kev Having a thread-bare link to the other COTC films (at best), this ninth (??!!?!) film has barely any children at all, instead it focuses on one child that's locked in an old shed in back of the country house that a couple have the misfortune of having their car break down near. Belonging to 'Preacher' (Billy Drago, the sole reason to watch this) and his mail-order bride who seem hospitable, if a tad eccentric, at first. They let the couple spend the night. But then they start snooping around and all bets are off.Saying that this entry is better than a lot of the series is damning it with the faintest of praises. It's still crap, just not as putrid. The film has laughably stupid deaths, trite dialog, and an ending that reeks. However the first half was serviceable enough. Plus it's always nice to see Drago in just about anything.My Grade: D
