Kinder des Zorns 7 - Revelation

OK. First of all the plot summary listed here about fbi agents and a serial killer is completely inaccurate. The story here is about some chick coming to this weird hotel to try and find her missing grandma..uh huh. Any-who grandma was the only survivor of a child cult that burned themselves and,and...yawn. I am a fan of the Children of the Corn movies , I find them silly fun with all that "He who walks behind the rows" talk, but you can add this to the terrible list along with "Urban Harvest" (pt.3) and "The Gathering" (pt.4). First off it is a must that these movies be set in corn fields! not a hotel with a patch of corn along the edge! Also this movie is only 82 mins long and it uses about all those minutes to establish that something weird is going on, that these freaky mute kids running around are not right in the head.. well DUH! And Wow was the lead chick dumb in this, even at the end of the movie I still don't think she had a clue about anything. This film lacks the cheese of part 2, the fun of part 5 and the art of part 6. It also lacks a hell of a lot more, but I ain't got that much time. I hope this series lives forever, so I better submit my script for part 8! If this one didn't kill it for good. One star out of Four

I mostly wanted to respond to a review to this movie I just read. I'm a fan of the first movie. I have it on DVD, and never tire of it at all. Yet the review to this movie I just read completely bashed it and said it has no scares in it. I've been watching horror for MOST of my 20 years, and this movie gave me the creeps. Then again, I DID deliberately wait until 11 at night to watch it in the dark, so that added to the atmosphere. But it's not without it's horrific charm. Maybe it isn't a great Children of the Corn movie -- God knows the Second one stinks in comparison to the first, and the fourth one is pretty good. Yet this movie still stands a chance at good reviews if you don't compare it.

The seventh entry of the unending "Children of the Corn" series -- this one titled "Revelation" -- is heavy on the story, but light on the suspense or surprises.

With only one brief mention of He Who Walks Behind the Rows, this installment instead focuses on an apartment building in which zombie-like kids take it over... killing all of its inhabitants.

Lacking the shared backstory of the original "Corn" movie, this one takes off only in the last 20 minutes or so. Along with parts 4 and 5, this one also lacks a menacing leader child... and it hurts the film during its climax.

"Revelation", while attempting something different and bringing something new to the "Chdilren of the Corn" table, it lacks in other basic areas, hampering this otherwise solid effort.

Ok, a priest, a stripper, a pot-head & a granny walk into a row of corn... No it's not the start of a bad joke, just a insipidly bad movie. In this seemily up-teenth corny sequal, a woman goes to an evicted building looking for her granny where she meets the children of the... oh forget this, just know that I watch crap like this so you don't have to.

where i saw it: Showtime

This was just like sitting through the Lifetime Movie Network movie of the week where you got a chick who is a hero. But I have to say that Claudette Mink is so beautiful that she makes this movie worth watching... It didnt seem like "sequel" since it took place in some run-down apt building instead of the usual cornfields... No gore or violence here, but this is a lot better than Children of the corn 4,5 and 6 and that's not saying a lot since those 3 were awful!!!!!!!!
