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.
omp9 Genesis difference very much from the standard CotC movies, you will not find much corn and even less of children, almost no existent, and no Gatlin town, actually they are pretty much in the same cabin the whole movie, so it's different, doesn't have the CotC feel either, more like a possessed themed movie. But all that being said, the tension has probably never been better within the series, good acting (Billy Drago steels the show, possible the best performance of within all CotC movies), good camera-work and good effects, so it's a good crafted movie but, it's probably not what I wanted from a CotC movie. About the title Genesis, I didn't get much about that, it doesn't tell anything about the creation or beginning of anything, and towards the end I felt the plot was going nowhere, and when talking about the end, I didn't liked the ending at all. Overall, Children of the Corn: Genesis was better than expected, but confusing and different.
kosmasp I have to admit, I haven't followed the Children of the corn series up close, so I can't tell you, if this actually makes sense in the series. Than again Dimension doesn't seem to care, if they put a movie out there that isn't that connected to previous entries in a successful series (see Hellraiser for that). But this movie is nicely shot, has some interesting twists (though you can see them coming even before the scriptwriter put them down on paper).In the end this doesn't add much to the horror genre, has the typical erratic character behavior (it's the grown ups who act like children, doing stuff they've been told not to do). The ending is weird too. You wonder why a certain character would accept "help" like that. But until that point you will probably have shut down your brain, just to save it. Good thinking ...
atinder here a sequel 10 years after the last sequel and a remake that came out two years ago.The best they could in the 10 years breaks, this movie was really dull, there was not much going at all, the Girlfriend and boyfriends they crash and they stop and talk for the whole 94% of movie and the scenes just drags on.The scare scene in this , so badly done, that you laugh and say come on!, there no atmosphere in this at all, everything was falt and plot was really boring.This movie did not feel like corn movie at all and the kids were not even in the movie, this were not creepy at all, there could have made a lot more scary.The scariest thing about this movie, was the acting, as it was really bad, (I Saw the trailer, I knew it was going bad, which actually a really bad trailer) .This is the worst in series, paired with number 5 in the series.
