Michael_Elliott Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) * (out of 4) The seventh and final film in the original series has a young woman (Claudette Mink) traveling to Omaha when her elderly grandmother doesn't answer her phone. The woman discovers her grandmother missing and with the help of a cop they start to investigate her past, which leads them to a cult that she was in many years ago where several kids killed themselves. Now, it appears, the ghosts are back and looking for new victims. As with many of the sequels, this one here has very little to do with the original short story by Stephen King but this one here goes out and tries to mix in a little of THE SHINING as well. The film is a complete mess as it doesn't work as an entry in the series and it isn't strong enough to work on its own. The entire premise is rather predictable as we know why the grandmother is missing and we know who the mysterious children are long before our leading lady. The entire movie runs only 80-minutes but it feels much long as I was having a hard time just making it through to the end. The performances are all bland to decent with Mink making for an interesting lead, although she isn't given anything to do. Michael Ironside appears as a strange priest but doesn't add too much. The violence this time out isn't overly graphic and the gore is at a rather low count but even if it had been more it probably wouldn't have helped the movie.

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.

barneyrootbeer Whilst the rest of the world is giving us films like Dog Soldiers and The Ring we still keep churning out this genre crap - I mean does anyone really need a sixth sequel to a film no one liked in the first place. I mean who watches these...oh wait a minute I did. Shame on me.
