Realrockerhalloween This was a fine follow up sequel in the corn series that picks up a week later where the kids are being transported by his to a new town nearby.What made this special is it follows the themes of the first film and becomes its own entity. Its actually creepy, suspenseful and the acting isn't shabbyThe school house going up in flames like the kids watch or when the doctor is being stalked is nightmarish.Some of the death scenes are a bit ridiculous like the remote control wheel chair and the wicked witch death being reused to kill an old teacher who left Galin before the massacre and trust the teenagers for killing the their parents.Another plot that can be confusing is an old Indian who talks about a legend of wild kids who killed their parents and the men talking about a pesticide in the corn that drives people crazy.Are they saying the corn God isn't real or does he infect his followers by eating the corn against their will? Another submit is a bit who gates his father for Not spending time with him and tries to rebel only to bond after he's saved from the final sacrifice. A common theme of parents and kids at odds.Its a step down from the first, but it was a wonderful follow up and really expanded up on the mythology.

Vomitron_G "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" is pretty much an okay sequel, staying in sync with the events that happened in the town of Gatlin 8 years earlier, but I'm not sure if I can actually call it better than the original. It's a bit difficult to compare the two movies, since the original definitely wasn't aiming for gore or spectacular kills. The first "CotC" tried to build a bit of mystery and played it a little more creepier. Sure, by today's standards that might very well translate to 'a little more goofier'. But truthfully, upon re-watching "CotC II", I couldn't help noticing it also has its fair share of (unintended) goofy moments. Like the two old sister characters, whose deaths are more funny than terrifying, really (one gets crushed by a house on pillars, the other gets catapulted with her wheelchair into a room full of Bingo-players). And where did that Indian mumbo-jumbo explanation all of the sudden come from? Christie Clark was an enormously cute teen-babe at the time; just thought I'd mention that.After this first sequel, 4 others followed each other rapidly throughout the '90s, so "CotC II" is much more responsible for starting up the whole franchise than the original was. And all sequels are pretty much on par with what all other sequels from other franchises were being cranked out those days (the '90s installments of the "Amytiville" series, for example). Hardly great horror movies, but they always managed to entertain me, trying to come up with some original & amusing kills time after time or desperately hoping to bring a new twist to tired concepts.Noteworthy is that Bob Keen & Gary J. Tunnicliffe did the special effects on "CotC II". But then again, it's not exactly their most impressive work ever. At any rate, I did have fun re-watching "CotC II". I like the musical score by Daniel Licht also. He's a talented composer, though people hardly seem to know which (horror) movies he was involved with.

drewgilbert Although the demon was supposed to be killed in an inferno, it's back using children to slaughter adults. This film is really the only entry from the series I care for. The acting may've not been Oscar-worthy, but the characters were way more believable. Ryan Bollman did a great job of preaching warped beliefs to the kids while John Franklin made you want to laugh. The deaths were too comedic at times but the special effects were equivalent to any big-budget film. Of course, we knew from the start that John and his son would escape. Still, the film maintained some suspense and tension. Plus, we get an explanation as to why the demon harbors hatred towards adults. If you ever want to watch a Children of the Corn film, choose this one.

I_can_get_you_a_toe This movie doesn't quite have the awesome start the first one did – but I'll take a few decomposing Gatlin residents over nothing.It's the aftermath of the downfall of the creepy munchkin Isaac, the Ginger Ninja Malachi, and He Who Walks Behind the Rows. And reporters and residents from Hemingford the neighbouring town have descended upon Gatlin, with the surviving Gatlin kids being farmed off to new families so the carnage can start again.Coming to join the corn party is a teenage boy with a horrible haircut, Danny, his daddy issues and his daddy. They stay with 'attractive hostess with no real story' who has taken in a Gatlin kid called Micah, who also has daddy issues, so of course a friendship springs up between Danny and Micah that eventually leads to sacrificing people, as is the natural course of things.Nothing much really happens after that. The Gatlin kids shuffle around town in a group staring at stuff. I've decided that Micah is the best starer – he really tries at it. And blah blah blah – people start dying. I'm bored already.My favourite death (so few times you get to start a sentence that way) would be the old lady under the house, with all her howling and honking and crappy acting I was hoping one of the five year olds would just run up and start kicking her in the stomach – alas not to be, but she was crushed and the kids stood in their group and stared. Followed closely by the man who just started haemorrhaging blood all over the church. (Micah did some of his best staring in this scene – watch out for it) During this time, Danny has found love with a pretty young girl called Needy McNeederson. His daddy starts making sweet sweet love to 'attractive hostess with no real story' and there's some weird back story stuff thrown in about the corn and poisons and old Indian legends etched into rocks. None of it really makes any sense – doesn't fit in with the story in any way but it is told by a wise old American Indian man – so that lends some serious weight to what is being said.It all ends where it should – in the corn. Attempted sacrifices are abound, professions of love and apologies are made. Micah's yelling all over the place and doesn't seem to be staring as much which makes me sad. He Who Walks Behind the Rows turns up briefly and does his thing. It's just another day with the Children of the Corn.All in all, a pretty crappy sequel – but if you watch one, you gotta watch em all. Next up; Children of the Corn 3 –Gangsta Corn.
