The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Two brothers, formerly of the murderous children's cult of Gatlin, Nebraska, are taken to Chicago by an unwitting couple.Others point out this was the film debut of Charlize Theron, which is pretty cool. Although, being that she has no lines and is not credited, it is unfortunately not much of a start. (Though it does give this film some indirect prestige it probably does not deserve.) I am sorry to pick on a kid, but the actor playing Eli (Daniel Cerny) is terrible. Maybe it is partially because he was given some awful lines to work with, but I just felt like every scene he had, the film went immediately downhill.There are some good things -- Josh playing basketball in his farm clothes, the decent effects on the death scenes (the water pipe, the burning face). I believe Oscar-winning Mark Bridges worked on the costumes (although this is far from his best work).

I was really surprised about this movie, I did think it would be good and never thought it would better then the second movie in the series but it was!There are Two young Gatlin residents are orphaned, after the younger brother kills their father. So, the terror of Gatlin goes urban when the two boys are placed in the custody of two foster parents..the whole movie was really entertainer and never got boring, there was some really good death scenes, which really well made.They did have skme really odd special effects, And the acting from some part of the cast were really good. I enjoyed this movie, I going to give this movie 7 out of 10

I just don't understand. Why even turn such a bad script into a movie. Well, bad is perhaps not the best word for it but it's just so incredibly standard and there is nothing, spectacular, shocking or memorable ever happening in this movie.None of the Children of the Corn movies are exactly known as brilliants ones and it's not that hard to see why. The movies have a pretty simple concept, that builds and rely on its children characters. Children are however not within the best age group, acting-wise and on top of that, they just aren't very convincing as being scary. It's also a pretty tiresome concept. There is very little to exploit with but yet they managed to make 7 movies so far, focusing on the corn worshiping children, who want to see all adults death.The Eli Porter is just very annoying instead of scary really. What a little brat, even though the actor that played him was already 14 at the time. His acting and just the character in general annoyed me. But can you blame the actor for this really? It was after all the story that gave him too much to do.And is this movie even an horror? It isn't until the end that monsters and other supernatural elements start to kick in. For the other most part the movie just consists out of flashbacks with footage from the previous movie of it in it as well. My 'favorite' thing about this movie its horror are its sound effects. There is a scene in the beginning in which they are just driving around in a car but you constantly hear this horror sound effects, like whispering and such, put under it that makes the sequence seem as if they are in a scary place or right in the middle of a nightmare, though absolutely nothing is happening.And no, overall there is far too little interesting happening in the movie. It was also a pretty odd choice to set this movie in an urban town instead of in the secluded, rural fictional town of Gatlin. I'm still waiting for the "Children of the Corn: In Space" movie. It will probably add just as much to the series as this movie did.The foremost reason why this movie is not a very good one is not because its a bad movie but because its such a standard one, without really any good or interesting ideas of its own.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Apart from the Texas-sized loopholes in the script, this film is one of the corniest horror films I have ever watched. Stephen King is credited as one of the writers, and this is surprising to see as it is unclear if he has actually contributed to the script or this film was inspired from King's initial novel. The acting is quite mediocre, but the special effects are of record tackiness, with human puppets of the amazing quality of voodoo dolls. The gore factor is satisfying, even unexpectedly high. The reference to environmental issues as a contemporary premise to any evil we see on screen is flimsy and ephemeral. Overall, spare a few bucks to rent this on a Saturday night in with your friends and pizza.
