Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Boba_Fett1138 Come on now, this movie has actually very little to do with the previous entries. Not that that necessarily is a bad thing though, since the previous entries also exactly weren't brilliant, tense, frightening or original enough movies.But also on its own right, this movie is a pretty poorly done one. It's story is quite bad and it just pretty much fails to take off. The movie its movie remains a mysterious one till pretty much the very end of the movie. Not that it contributes much to the movie its tension or anything, it just comes across as some very lazy and simplistic writing.All we have here in this movie are a bunch of mindless looking and moving kids, who every now and then start to laugh annoyingly. The movie seems to be without any real good ideas and instead grabs onto some simplistic and formulaic horror moments, that besides are not handled or executed too well into the movie.It's not really the type of movie in which you care a lot about anything. The characters are just flat and uninteresting and you don't care if they survive or not and if they will be able to solve the 'mystery'. With this all it also doesn't help much that the story is filled with some distracting plot-holes and just elements that don't make sense in the overall story. Like I said, the movie has some very lazy and cheesy writing and the movie its story should had basically never turned into a movie. I just don't get it why some scripts get even turned into movie. Surely when you read a story like this you'll known beforehand that the movie won't be anything too spectacular or even original to watch. I also just don't get why Michael Ironside is in this movie. His role is so totally pointless and besides also far too small to make a relevant impression. He is an actor that deserves far better really but oh well, everybody needs to do some work to pay the bills and maintain their swimming pool and mistresses.Doesn't as too much to do with the Children of the Corn-series or how it started all out once with Stephen Kings' short story but also a stand-alone picture this one is far too formulaic and without any good ideas of its own.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Brandt Sponseller Children of the Corn (CotC) scripts may have never been literary masterpieces, but for some reason, CotC 6 and 7 have scripts that seem like very early drafts--or even as if they were only partially complete and the directors decided to just wing it for the rest of the film. It's a shame because both films otherwise had the potential to be quite good.For CotC7, a relatively oblique path was chosen (probably to the chagrin of those predisposed to purism)--it's more or less a "haunted house" film. This was promising to me, as by the time you get around to the seventh entry in a series, a change of pace is refreshing, and haunted house (really, haunted anything) films are probably my favorite horror subgenre.For the first 45 minutes or so, CotC7 was satisfying to me. In fact, for the first 10 or 15 minutes, it seemed reminiscent of the more recent 1408 (2007), which I loved. It had a good setting, a good premise, good atmosphere, creepy scenes, a bit of eye candy, and even a bit of odd humor.But right about the halfway mark, it starts to unravel. Mysterious characters (many supernatural) are never explained, and they keep growing in number. A couple scenes featured supernatural characters that don't cohere with the rest of the film--for example, one has a zombie or adult burn victim. The film starts getting choppy, and it begins to feel more like a series of pointless and disconnected "scary" set-pieces.Worse, there was a stable of interesting human characters who were never explored enough--we're just teased with them and then they're usually quickly dispatched with relatively generic horror film deaths. And the crux of the story--Jamie's (Claudette Mink) missing grandmother--remains murky through the end. The biggest tragedy is that the ball was dropped. With just a bit more work on the script--another two or three drafts, maybe--this could have been one of the better entries of this uneven series.

Kristine I was at the video store and while I swore off seeing any more of the Children of the Corn sequels, I have to admit that I was intrigued when I saw the cover of Children of the Corn: Revelation, it looked like an actual scary movie. Who knew? It might've been, right? I think somewhere on it's own, it might have been a good horror flick, but it got to be too cheesy and the lines were just silly and predictable.A girl, Jamie, is looking for her grandmother, since she hasn't returned her phone calls and has moved into a condemned building. But when she bumps into two creepy looking kids, she begins to wonder what's going on. She goes to the police, but they tell her to wait a day to make sure her grandmother isn't just out, she does so, but ends up finding out more with a certain cult and it's mysterious murders going on in the building she's living in.It was very predictable and incredibly corny, if it didn't have the Children of the Corn title, it could've worked a little better, because the cornstalks were just a little too tacky. But I think some horror fans might get a certain kick out of it, or not, judging by the rating of this film, I think everyone else agrees with me.2/10

SteveRaccoon I expected nothing from this, except that being a fairly modern film that it would at least spare me 80s denim and bad haircuts xD I don't think I even got that.If it had just been total rubbish with no glimmer of potential, that would be OK, predictable and OK.What really gets me is that this film could have been something, it really wouldn't have taken much at all! Ordinary camera shots, kids behaving evil rather than like mannequins, a heroine character with the ability to realise she's in a horror film not some 'real life drama' and a few other things, this could have been a good straight to video/TV film, it really could have been :( Another thing which bugged me is that the film had something over many of its rivals: the picture quality really wasn't bad. Oftentimes it's this alone which betrays a shoe-string budget movie from a supposedly 'better' picture with more money. SO close to a good film, it's so annoying..COTC films already have the basis for a good creepy feeling, those pesky kids! It was evident here too, there was some good atmosphere when the kiddies were on the prowl, but it was messed up with some very poor direction.Stupid 'ghost' sounds (kids laughing in this case), silly ineffective camera cheap-shots and minutes wasted watching the heroine wander around when it's obvious she will find nothing. These annoy viewers every flipping time, yet once again they're here to annoy COTC: Revelation viewers too. These pathetic acts of film-making sloth knock the film down a few pegs on their own! The kids act like robots in bad threads most of the time, these are self-assured, murderous and downright evil kids from hell without a scrap of empathy. So.. why are they gimping around like second-rate zombies in goofy clothing? For God's sake. *Scowls* The main apartment building doesn't seem inhabited at all, a total ghost town, yet within a few shots it turns out that there's a bunch of people living there. The audience shouldn't have to be faced with such cack-handed bloopers like this. Sloppy, it jarred and brought me straight out of the film. If the crew can't be bothered to put a film together properly, how can they expect anyone to bother to watch it?I was glad when it was over, there's nothing worse than glimpsing what could have been.In short: don't rent, don't buy, don't bother.
