Les démons du maïs 2: Le sacrifice final

I sat down to watch the 1992 movie "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" immediately after having just revisited the original 1984 movie "Children of the Corn". And I actually think that I have never seen this sequel before now in 2023, or if I did then I have entirely forgotten all about it.

Writer A. L. Katz delivered a fair enough script for the movie, which had elements from the first movie to it so it helped transition the viewers into this sequel. I actually found the storyline in the sequel to be just as enjoyable as the storyline in the first movie.

The storyline in "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" was enjoyable for what it was. Sure, this is not anything groundbreaking or particularly sensational. But the story did its job; it entertained. So director David Price managed to bring the script to life on the screen in a good way.

"Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" has some good acting performances to help bring the movie to life. There isn't a lot of famous actors or actresses on the cast list however, but that hardly mattered, because the performers in the movie had talents. I actually think I was only familiar with Terence Knox in this movie.

Visually then you're not exactly in for anything grand, because "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" wasn't using a lot of special effects.

If you enjoyed the 1984 "Children of the Corn" movie, then you will also enjoy the 1992 sequel "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice".

My rating of "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" lands on a five out of ten stars.

This time the remaining mean spirited kids are moved to a new location where they bring their usual kill-crazy antics and it's up to a tabloid journalist (Terence Knox) and his rebellious son (Paul Scherrer) to save the town from "He who walks behind the rows!" and save their love interests from sacrifice in this surprisingly watchable sequel, which is against genre odds better than it's lame predecessor. While the King story has nothing to do with the sequel, there are some entertainingly nasty scenes such as a voodoo nosebleed as well as a wheelchair smacked with a semi truck. Also as Scherrer's love interest, Christie Clark comes off very well. While Terence Knox looks like a cross between Treat Williams and Michael Pare. It's no masterpiece but for a campy horror sequel, Children Of The Corn II works as mindless entertainment.

2/5 Matt Bronson

The first "Children of the Corn" film is a decent horror film with some suspense and atmosphere,this one is basically just a typical slasher film gussied up with occult elements.By those standards,it isn't bad,with some decent scares and a fair amount of blood.Sure,it's nothing new,but overlook that if you really love horror genre.The acting is either wooden or over-the-top,but there are some rather inventive death scenes for example when an old woman is crushed by her own home.So if you are a fan of this series then go ahead-try this one,if not check out some other horror flicks.5 out of 10.

I haven't seen all the Children of the Corn incarnations and movies, but this definitely is not the final one. There are quite a few more that were thrown our way. But horror movies like to give the feeling of something being final to entice audiences to watch them.

Speaking of enticing, our two main characters are quite good looking. They might be a bit dull and not as engaging as one might wish, but still way better than the bland villain kid in this one. Well there are worse movies and better movies ... if you really want to watch it, there are some merits (no pun intended) ...

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently.

This is a direct sequel of the first part and this time the adjacent town suffers when the adjacent townspeople decide to adopt the surviving children. Locals and cops find corpses of the adults and journalists try to dig in more information but once again the children forms a cult group where one of the cult member is possessed by a demonic entity. This one lacks the atmosphere n surrealism of the first part but makes up for it by adding more body count but in a hilarious way. I liked the dialogue from this movie, "Sometimes what u have learned conflicts with what u kno."
