GL84 Following a friend's death, a group of friends heading back to his hometown to spread his ashes find themselves trapped in the town where a fanatical cult exists around a fanatical leader, and when he reveals the true intentions of the cult they race to stop them.There was some good stuff in this one when it really mattered. One of the biggest factors to this one is the fact that the cult in this one manages to be one of it's bright spots and manages to get a lot of good points about it. The scenes among the camp, where the bizarre rituals and actions of the different members are focused on, makes for some rather great scenes in the middle of the film. Along with the superb set-up it has from the opening half, all manage to make it feel even creepier. That is helped by what the earlier in the film, such as the children's actions against them in the cornfields being quite chilling and incredibly well-done to building up the actions of the cult as well as the rather fun scare tactics against them, which includes them toying with the car as well as the scares from the hotel sequences. These are all added together to make the cult a rather frightening figure. This one also has some rather fun sequences with the children running around attacking them, as the opening stalking scene through the cornfields is great, the sequence through the house where they each spy something off in the distance is pretty creepy at times and the different fights amongst the kids out in the fields with a rather fun encounter with a live flaming tower of fire being the most enjoyable and are all the more fun due to the explosions, gunfights, fight- fights and more going through the rest of the scene. The last plus here is the rather plentiful gore on display, and along with the other factors, are this one's good features. There was a couple of rather big flaws to this one. The first one is the fact that there's not a whole lot of moments in here that make sense in the film. The central premise to it isn't that great and makes no sense and really has a couple of glaring holes to it. Even later moments, such as the wanting to join a cult based upon reading a Bible-sized book in a couple hours or the basic idea of the cult, sacrificing themselves at the age of eighteen with no exceptions makes very little sense, as does anything else in the film. This is literally packed with moments like those throughout the film. The other flaw to this one is the fact that the previous entries in the series had the cult's god as a worm-like creature, which is quite different from what's presented here. The difference shouldn't be much of a minder, but there's one here for the hardcore fans of the series. Otherwise, these are all that's really wrong with it.Rated R: Graphic Violence and some Language.

LukeNickels88 Plot: A car full of people driving on the back roads with ashes of a dead friend crashes in the hell of the cornfields. The towns Sheriff is Black Caesar aka Fred Williamson. The bartender is Jason Voorhees or better known as No-Neck Hodder. Even Grasshopper from Kung-Fu is on there. And that (thing)known as Alexis Arquette.As I have make mention before I hate COTC III: Corn in Chicago. And this is pretty good. My only gripes is that big eared boy from Kindergarten Cop he is just an annoyance..He's ugly and he's well Ugly.So if you hate Children of the Corn III then you love Children of the Corn V: Fields of terror

Brandt Sponseller Before I start getting complaints, or at least dumbfounded looks, from people who strongly disagree with my rating, I should explain a number of ways in which I'm biased here:* I'm an easy date when it comes to horror films in general--as long as they're technically competent, they're almost guaranteed a 5 out of 10 from me. * I have a soft spot for long-running series. The more horror films the better if you ask me, and never-ending series seem to agree with me. * I'm a HUGE Frank Zappa fan, so the excitement of seeing both Ahmet and Diva Zappa in the same film--and with a bit of Frank-like blow-up doll action, no less--brings my score up a notch. (My only question is why didn't they have Diva's character kill Ahmet's character?) * As soon as Eva Mendes appears on screen, I fall in love and become hypnotized. By the way, great decision on the wardrobe, Mr. Wiley. * I'm a big fan of "B-movie" warhorses like David Carradine and Fred Williamson.And aside from those biases, this isn't at all a bad film, even if it can be a bit predictable. It's consistent with the Children of the Corn mythos--in so far as the mythos makes sense in general--and also extends it nicely. I can't say whether the film is scary, as I don't really find that quality in any film, but it certainly was entertaining, and the Teflon coating on the main protagonist, Allison (Stacy Galina) was an unusual touch.

Mr_Ectoplasma "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" is the fifth in the series, and actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Now I'm not saying it's great, but it wasn't a complete waste either. This film is about a group of teenage friends who happen to be driving through a small midwestern town that is home to more of the evil child cult. When they crash their car, however, and have a creepy encounter with the children who emerge from a cornfield, they decide to try and get help somewhere. They end up finding an abandoned farmhouse that is currently for sale, and decide it is perfectly okay to shack up there and raid the cupboards where the only find some Maracchino cherries. Of course, the house is right at the edge of a cornfield, where the evil kids are lurking. From there on, the friends begin to drop like flies, all meeting grisly fates from the children.This was alright, I was expecting something much worse (I usually expect the worst from films like this). The story wasn't really original, but none of these sequels are so that doesn't really matter. The friends decide they're going to try and help the children, which is rather ridiculous. The acting was a surprise, it was actually decent. The only cast member I recognized was Eva Mendes from "Urban legends: Final Cut", the rest are pretty much unknowns. We had some good cameo appearance by David Carradine, an evil supporter of the cult, and Kane Hodder (who played Jason in some of the "Friday the 13th" films) in a minor role of a local bartender. I really didn't the movie was that bad though.Overall, this isn't as good as "Part IV: The Gathering" was (in my opinion at least) but it was an alright follow up. Don't take it so seriously, you might enjoy it. Of course it's campy, but in a good way. 5/10.
