One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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.

The movie begins in Gatlin where it's revealed to police and the media that adults in the town are all dead at the hands of children. This film was made eight years after the first, but we are led to believe it takes place mere days after Linda Hamilton survived the vicious attack. So with all the parents dead, there are a lot of kids without anyone to look after them. To help out the kids that didn't participate in the murders, the neighbouring town of Hemingford offers to foster some of them. We are then introduced to a tabloid reporter John Garrett and his son Danny who do not get along. John is travelling to Hemingford to get a scoop on the story of the murders. They end up staying at a bed and breakfast run by who has taken in a child of Gatlin, Micah. Micah eventually becomes the leader of the resurrected corn cult and he along with a group of kids under the influence of "he who walks behind the rows" go onto kill adults. The gore in this sequel is piled on compared to the first. We gets slashed throats, a man who bleeds out of his nose and ears until he dies. Some pretty decent special effects for a lower budgeted horror movie. The acting is pretty good as well. Terence Knox and Paul Scherrer as father and son are good, a young Christie Clark of Days of Our Lives fame plays the heroine Lacey perfectly. And although Ryan Bollman (Micah) is no Isaac from the first film, he does a nice job as the evil cult leader. Can Micah be stopped or will he enlist Danny into his cult of adult hating young people?These Children of the Corn movies get a bad rap; but as a fan of the first one, I thought Children of the Corn II was a pretty good entry to the franchise. The plot is obviously not believable and has many holes in it, but for these kind of films I try to take reality out of the equation. The one problem I have with it is that at the end of the first one, the main characters destroyed the demon in the corn and at the start of this one, there's no explanation as to how it came to be again. We also get an interesting opinion from a few characters in this that suggest the kids are killers because the watch "too many horror movies". I thought that was a nice little touch. Overall a decent sequel. 6/10

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.

Stephen King's "Children of the Corn" story is relatively short so most of what is in the movies has nothing to do with his story. This is the last of the movies I saw, but many more sequels would for some reason follow. The first movie did have some elements that were found in the book, this one only a few concepts remain as it does a lot of things differently this time around. For one, you do not get the creepy abandoned looking town you found in the first movie, which is a shame as it is what made that film for me. You also do not have really much of anything as far as development goes as this film is for the most part very forgettable. The story centers around what are supposedly survivors from the town in the last movie and for some reason it seems the corn is infecting them in ways that once again make them into bad children, or bad teenagers for the most part. Yes, I would have to say all these movies would be more aptly titled teenagers of the corn rather than children, though I can guess they do it so they do not traumatize a really young kid.
