This astounding sixth addition to the Children of the Corn had potential from the start. The antagonist from the 1984 original was returning and being played by the very same actor, it had so much potential to steer the franchise back on course.Alas it wasn't meant to be. Sadly Isaac returns into a mess of a film with a terrible cliched concept, an outstandingly dull pace and a film that contributes nothing to the series at all.Credit where credit is due it does have a great twist and the final scene is great, but then immediatly ruins it by having a poor finale to that.Starring the excellent Stacy Keach Isaac's Return should have been great but poor writing killed it stone dead.The Good:Decent twistThe return of Isaac and same actor is greatThe Bad:Very boringDisapointing endingThings I Learnt From This Movie:Calling a sixth movie 666 is tacky when it has nothing to do with the source materialI thought "He who walks behind the rows would be taller

Okay - Isaac died in the first film? NO! If you remember he came back from death in a supernatural way to kill Malachi - because "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" wants Malachi. (This makes Isaac one of the Undead I would guess). Apparently not long after that, Isaac ended up in 19 year coma somehow and that is where we begin our story with "Isaac's Return". What is aggravating? The totally blew a golden opportunity to make this film (almost) as good as the first film with the idea behind Isaac returning. This film is a total waste of a great idea.Yes this film is bad. The ONLY thing good about it is Isaac - that's it! The rest of the film is crap. What is really dumb to me? "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" killing Isaac in the end - that just blows.And the idea of Hannah Montana being the only one to save them from Isaac throughout the film (until the ending) really stinks. And this dumb teenage kid being "HE" or "Thee" is totally dumb - NOT what "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" is at all! Isaac DID the bidding of "He" in the first film and there is NO reason for "HE" to be mad at Isaac at all. What is wrong with writers today? Are they not thinkers too? 3/10

Hannah goes back to her hometown (Gatlin) to find out who her mother is, but on the way she picks up a strange man who fore-shadows her life with a passage from the bible.We have some talent here, namely Nancy Allen and Stacy Keach, but overall nothing much to speak of. But, at this point, I suspect the budget was so low they could barely afford craft services.The trivia on IMDb says that John Franklin is the only actor to appear in more than one "Children of the Corn" movie. That is not true. Gary Bullock appeared in parts five and six, although as two different characters. I assume the writer meant "in the same role", but this was not made clear.Now, that being said, for all the terrible things that could probably be written about this film (and many terrible things have), I have to give them credit for bringing back a character from a prior film -- and the original, no less! The franchise has an awful continuity (if the films all make sense in one universe, it is hard to say) so any attempt to fix that is appreciated.

Seriously, the main hero of this movie is a complete MORON. The normal person would turn around and get the hell out, after seeing a priest-ghost, who says that she doesn't have a choice of not bearing a child. But no, chick doesn't get a clue, she doesn't get a clue when she gets almost strangled by a local doctor, gets assaulted by a madman, wakes up a leader of a religious group, who was in a coma for twenty years, simply by touching him, gets chased all over the place by jeep, after someone breaks into her room when she sleeps and leaves a message on the wall "leave or die" , she doesn't get a clue after seeing the illusions of dead birds all over the place, and she doesn't get a god damn clue even when she finally finds her dear mother, she was seeking in the first place and then the mother explains, that she is destined to be raped by religious fanatics and bear a child of a cult. She is still pretty much clueless at this point. Here of course she gets finally kidnapped, but is saved by some guy on the motorcycle and how does the nearly-raped victim decides to thank him for that? By having an unprotected sex with him, of course. Fortunately that guy turns out to be a main villain/demon in the first place, who for some reason has nothing better to do than cite lame catchphrases and blow the stuff up by saying "boom!" So in the end the dumb chick gets what she deserves - she technically gets raped and now has to bear a devils child, the end. (Aborion probably being out of question, as far, as movie lets as know. Some message here? I don't think so. IMO the writers of this story were even dumber than our main hero).In conclusion - go watch COTC 1,2,3 or 4, ignore what everyone says, they are still enjoyable movies at most part, but 5 and 6 - stay away, trust me, you ain't gonna be happy if you won't listen to my advice.
