Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Rainey Dawn I like reverend Eli. He's got a style similar to Issac (Part 1) but he's not exactly like Issac. I also like Eli a bit better than Micah (from Part 2). I would say this 3rd film is better than Part 2 but not nearly as good as The Original CotC film.What I didn't like about this film was the campy death scenes really dumb to me. I also disliked near the ending with the Corn Monster - that was going way overboard, getting really stupid and tasteless. The film should have gone from Joshua killing Eli to the two men at the very end with the corn going world wide. Instead they added the terrible in-between Corn Monster - horrible idea but not horror.Other than the stupid Corn Monster and campy death scenes I liked this film fairly well. I was really caught up in the story.7/10

AaronCapenBanner Third film based on the Stephen King short story tries something different, as the two surviving cult members(who are brothers) from Gatlin Nebraska are adopted by a couple from Chicago, where the younger brother becomes possessed by the evil creature from behind the rows of corn, and plants its seeds of evil throughout the high school, in his attempts to restart the cult, and sacrifice more lives to it.Attempts to make the premise "hipper" by taking it to the city fall utterly flat in this equally pointless, utterly unconvincing film, that beats an absurd idea to death one more time. Sadly, the series didn't end here, but my interest in watching any more sequels sure did!

gavin6942 Two brothers, formerly of the murderous children's cult of Gatlin, Nebraska, are taken to Chicago by an unwitting couple.Others point out this was the film debut of Charlize Theron, which is pretty cool. Although, being that she has no lines and is not credited, it is unfortunately not much of a start. (Though it does give this film some indirect prestige it probably does not deserve.) I am sorry to pick on a kid, but the actor playing Eli (Daniel Cerny) is terrible. Maybe it is partially because he was given some awful lines to work with, but I just felt like every scene he had, the film went immediately downhill.There are some good things -- Josh playing basketball in his farm clothes, the decent effects on the death scenes (the water pipe, the burning face). I believe Oscar-winning Mark Bridges worked on the costumes (although this is far from his best work).

Mr_Censored "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" is a somewhat tacky and unnecessary sequel to the moderately successful Stephen King adaptation and its slightly under-rated sequel.In the film, two youths from Gatlin (the setting of the first two films) are taken in by a yuppie couple in Chicago. The older of the two fits in relatively well, but the younger has plans of his own. Planting a corn field in the abandoned property next door, he creeps out his adoptive parents and eventually converts the entire teenage population to his maze worshipping cult.Despite a predictable plot that seems to be missing chunks (at what point did Eli win over his peers?), dodgy special effects and wooden performances by its relatively unknown cast, the film is moderately enjoyable for what it is. If you want to see some brutal and over-the-top death scenes committed by vegetation, then "Children of the Corn III" hardly disappoints. Elsewhere, however, the film comes up short, and that's all there really is to it.The film was dumped in theaters briefly in 1994 before being thrust into complete oblivion, making room for four direct-to-video sequels and a made-for-TV remake. Look closely, and you'll spot Charlize Theron in her very first role as an extra.
