jacobjohntaylor1 This is better then the first 6 movie of Children of the Corn. The first 6 movie of Children of the Corn are very scary. This is scarier. THIS THE BEST CHILDREN OF THE CORN MOVIE I HAVE SEEN. it has a great story line. IT ALSO HAS GREAT ACTING. If you are looking for really scary horror movie SEE THIS ONE. IT IS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOVIES EVER.

warpedmentality00 With 7 titles and 1 remake under it's belt, everybody knows that the Children of the Corn series has run it's course and is now being kept alive in attempts to bleed it for a little more money. That's not to say that they didn't try in Revelation. I watched this on Netflix expecting another painful installment like Isaac's Return but this showed slight improvement.They attempted to breathe new life into the series by trading the cornfields of small-town Nebraska for a dilapidated apartment building in small-town Nebraska; going for more of a haunted house feel than an evil children feel. The story line had potential but, unfortunately, it didn't live up. And here's why:The Children: The children are really what the movie is always about. But for some reason, the small but menacing children of the series are swapped out for more of a generally weird brand of child. The "stand there and stare" move gets less creepy the more it is used (and it's used A LOT) and starts becoming more annoying than anything. The only thing scary about the "main" evil child, Abel, is his Amish-style haircut. Although their uncanny ability to teleport makes for some creepy moments, I never really found myself being scared of the kids.The Supporting Characters: Almost every single character that we meet in the movie serves one purpose; to give the kids someone to kill while the main character, Jamie, tries to figure out what's going on. The few supporting characters who don't meet a grisly end pop up at random times during the movie until they're needed to progress the movie along.The Story: While the story has never been a strong point of the Children of the Corn series, Revelations tries a little too hard to make the story compelling. It begins with Jamie trying to find her missing grandmother. It then turns into a trip to the past where we learn that her grandmother was the sole survivor of a mass cult suicide and, in an odd reverse-butterfly effect type of motivation, the children return to kill Jamie since her grandmother was supposed to die and Jamie should not have even been born. It's a rather complex plot line for a run-of-the-mill horror movie.The Main Character: Although we follow Jamie as she frantically searches for her grandmother, we don't really feel any connection to her. Very little background is given to her character besides the fact that she lives in California and talks to her grandmother regularly. The casting director did a good job of bringing Claudette Mink on for the movie as her good looks tend to distract you from the sub-par script that they handed her. She does a good job as the concerned grand-daughter but when the action starts up, she starts to overact. You see this most obviously towards the end when she's attacked by evil corn stalks that remind many horror movie aficionados of the "tree rape" scene of Sam Raimi's "The Evil Dead."In the end, it was a half-way decent movie. It certainly won't win any awards but it's just creepy enough to hold your attention. And at brisk 82 minutes, it goes by pretty quick.

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.

Mr_Ectoplasma "Children of the Corn: Revelation" is the seventh sequel in this never ending horror series, and was one that I actually really enjoyed. This film is about a woman named Jamie, who arrives in a small rural town to visit her grandmother, Hattie. When she arrives at the dilapidated Hampton Arms apartment building, which is incidentally located in the middle of a cornfield, she discovers that her grandmother has mysteriously disappeared. After having a strange encounter with some children at a small-town market nearby one evening, Jamie begins to get a little creeped out. She goes to the police to report her grandmother missing, and the strange children keep on appearing to her on many occasions around the building as she awaits any news of her grandmother's discovery. Then the other residents of the building begin to disappear one by one, and the many children who are lurking around seem to be behind it...This one really isn't related to the rest of the movies, but I think that's why it prevailed in my eyes. The same plot being rehashed over and over in this series was a little annoying, and I found "Part 6: Isaac's Return" to be godawful. I liked the atmosphere this movie set up; the building was creepy and the bizarre children that pop up all over the place were surprisingly unnerving. The film had some fairly decent scare-scenes and the actors did a fair job here. The ending was a little abrupt though. Some of the CGI corn effects (especially the ones used in the finale) were a little overdone and corny (yes, pun intended!), but it was nothing to pine over. I also found the bathtub scene to be kind of funny and ridiculous, but what can you expect? It's number seven in a horror series in which 90% of the films have straight-to-video releases. If you suspend your disbelief, this is an entertaining, reasonably creepy little flick.While it isn't cinematic brilliance, I found "Children of the Corn: Revelation" to be a decent sequel, and probably my favorite of this horror series. It had a somewhat original story, some good scares and creepy imagery, and stands as something marginally fresh in the recycled series. Worth a watch, even if you haven't seen the previous installments. 7/10.
