MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
lastliberal I can't say I have ever seen Claudette Mink, the star of this movie. She was a hooker in a Spenser movie in her first go, but I don't remember her. In fact, I don't recognize any of the names other than Michael Ironside. This does not bode well.Here she is looking for her grandmother, who apparently lived in some rundown tenement.Crystal Lowe also appeared in the film, and gave us a couple of skintastic moments, but she got caught up with some magic corn seeds and had to disappear.Nothing scary here. A little suspense, but it really wasn't worth the time.
Boba_Fett1138 Come on now, this movie has actually very little to do with the previous entries. Not that that necessarily is a bad thing though, since the previous entries also exactly weren't brilliant, tense, frightening or original enough movies.But also on its own right, this movie is a pretty poorly done one. It's story is quite bad and it just pretty much fails to take off. The movie its movie remains a mysterious one till pretty much the very end of the movie. Not that it contributes much to the movie its tension or anything, it just comes across as some very lazy and simplistic writing.All we have here in this movie are a bunch of mindless looking and moving kids, who every now and then start to laugh annoyingly. The movie seems to be without any real good ideas and instead grabs onto some simplistic and formulaic horror moments, that besides are not handled or executed too well into the movie.It's not really the type of movie in which you care a lot about anything. The characters are just flat and uninteresting and you don't care if they survive or not and if they will be able to solve the 'mystery'. With this all it also doesn't help much that the story is filled with some distracting plot-holes and just elements that don't make sense in the overall story. Like I said, the movie has some very lazy and cheesy writing and the movie its story should had basically never turned into a movie. I just don't get it why some scripts get even turned into movie. Surely when you read a story like this you'll known beforehand that the movie won't be anything too spectacular or even original to watch. I also just don't get why Michael Ironside is in this movie. His role is so totally pointless and besides also far too small to make a relevant impression. He is an actor that deserves far better really but oh well, everybody needs to do some work to pay the bills and maintain their swimming pool and mistresses.Doesn't as too much to do with the Children of the Corn-series or how it started all out once with Stephen Kings' short story but also a stand-alone picture this one is far too formulaic and without any good ideas of its own.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
seveleniumus Dull I really liked first 30 minutes of this movie, it kinda reminded me an old-school horror adventure game – the chick comes to creepy place, where her grandmother is supposed to live, but she can't find her, so she goes around collecting clues and meeting strange local people, while witnessing strange events and meeting some strangely looking kids and the acting is actually not bad up to this point, but after the 30th minute movie kinda falls apart. Death scenes are lame and not scary to say the least and the scariest thing you see would probably be some little kids playing evil dead – a video game on a machine. Children laugh effect sounds extremely fake and not threatening. As for the story it stops really developing after 30th minute too. Nothing gets accomplished, except from local people being slaughter and it's just down the hill from there. It would probably be safe to say that this movie would better stand alone with some different plot elements because COTC aren't really that important here. I would've loved the movie if it could've sustained the atmosphere of the beginning, but it failed to do that. Failed big time. The ending is lame and very unsatisfying too. If you're going to watch this movie I recommend to shut it down after that magical 30th minute I keep mentioning. Unless you want to be bored to sleep that is. Good stuff lasts for about 40 % of the movie so I give it 4/10.
movieman_kev Ok, a priest, a stripper, a pot-head & a granny walk into a row of corn... No it's not the start of a bad joke, just a insipidly bad movie. In this seemily up-teenth corny sequal, a woman goes to an evicted building looking for her granny where she meets the children of the... oh forget this, just know that I watch crap like this so you don't have to.where i saw it: Showtime
