Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is the 8th Children of the Corn movie. The 7th one Children of the Corn revelation is a great movie. And this is awful. It is not scary. It has an awful story line. It also has an awful ending. Do not see this movie. It is awful.

Ilikehorrormovies This movie did start of good but when the kid was discover, it went to s**t. Like WHAT HAPPEN?! I like the first one but this one feels like a cash grab. I want to like this movie but the acting went downhill and the writing. One thing I got to say is who's responsible for this mess? Seriously I want to know. Don't buy it, avoid it.

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 ...

Michael_Elliott Children of the Corn: Genesis (2011) ** (out of 4) Direct-to-DVD entry in the never ending series has a husband and wife stranded in the desert after their car breaks down. The two spot a house in the distance and go there to get some help but end up having to spend the night with its weird owner known as Preacher and his wife. Soon the couple realize that they're in a very strange place after they discover a mysterious child being held captive in a shed behind the house. CHILDREN OF THE CORN: GENESIS comes ten years after the seventh film in the series but you could still consider this the ninth film in the franchise since there was a remake a few years before this. Either way, one really has to wonder why Dimension Films made this thing as it has very little connection to the previous films but if one had to guess it was made to cash-in on horror fans such as myself who are willing to watch anything. I must admit that I didn't find the film nearly as bad as some did but I think fans of the original 1984 film are going to be highly disappointed. Again, if you're looking for some sort of continuation of the series you're going to be disappointed but if you've sat through the previous sequels like myself then you know there's actually worse out there. The biggest problem is that there's simply not much that happens. Even with a 75-minute running time (minus the end credits) you can't help but feel the film drags along because for the most part we just see the husband and wife talking about what's going on or what they should do. There's never really any tension going on and I'd argue that you really don't care what's happened to the couple. There's really nothing here that draws you into the film and it certainly doesn't help that there's basically no body count for the majority of the running time. As a horror film there's very little horror going on not to mention there's really not many children and no corn except for a quick glimpse. The performances for this type of film are actually pretty good and the opening sequence is effective but outside of this there's just not enough going right here. It's far from a horrid film but it is a rather pointless one.
