Children of the Corn: Revelation

These COTC sequels aren't welcome by many horror fans,but,wait,this one has some things going for it.This has a coherent plot that approaches the story with abundant creepiness,foreboading sets,and well-crafted direction.When I heard the commentary on the HELLRAISER:HELLSEEKER dvd I found it interesting that that film used this film's sets.I need to play the 2 movies back-to-back.

Okay, let me start off, this movie was poorly written, but I have to say that it was *really* scary. Especially the little boy and the little girl that always walked around and never talked. To tell you the truth, I never exactly liked the original film. One of the reasons I rented this was because on the back it mentioned it was from the producers of "Dracula 2000", which I enjoyed. Otherwise, I don't think I would have rented it. I give Children of the Corn: Revelation a 6 out of 10.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

When a woman goes in search of her grandmother in a run down soon to be condemned apartment block she comes across the titular children and is pulled into "He who walks behind the rows" latest scheme.

The Children Of The Corn franchise was never exactly great but at least it has character, it had originality and the further in it has gone the more convoluted the plot has become and now it doesn't even resemble its humble beginnings.

The premise is dreadful, the script is lacking and with the exception of Michael Ironside (Who is barely in it) the cast aren't exactly doing much to improve it.

Not the worst of the franchise but certainly close this is a further example that this is being milked into obscurity and needs laying to rest before it becomes another Witchcraft (1988).

The Good:

Michael Ironside

The Bad:

Messy across the board

Cashgrab nothing more
