Avoid.

Bringing back the original 'star' of a TV show or film series is usually a gimmick employed to get a series back on track, with varying degrees of success. Here it only goes to prove that not only is John Franklin a bad actor, but his writing skills are similarly questionable. It may be 'interesting' to see how he envisaged the series continuing, but it makes a less than interesting film. This is dull, confusing sepia-toned drivel, with neither plot or substance, and almost no children or corn! What's that all about?

Even number 5 is better than this...

horrid hilarity

My friends and I continuously rent movies to watch as a group -- the worst, most horrible, cheesy hilarity we can find in Blockbuster, that is. We got hung up on the Children of the Corn series from the start. Corn and demonic children, what a FANTASTIC combination! We laughed through each and every Corn flick up til 666, which we rented last night. All those wonderful earlier films about He Who Walks Behind The Rows... and for that! How disappointing! :( It wasn't even that funny this time. Where were all the _children_?!?! My suggestion: don't even bother. I give this film a 3/10, just because they didn't have as many continuity mistakes and the gore was actually sort of gory.

Total crap.

"Children of the Corn" series has to be one of the worst and most repetitive series ever made.Really it just the same old boring crap again!Admittedly the original was pretty atmospheric and creepy,and next two parts were decent enough to watch them once,but the rest of this series sucks!Here we have the sixth installment which is so dull and boring that I was asking myself:why did I even bother watching such trash?Almost no gore,just a lot of stupid fake scares and truly bad acting.Definitely one to avoid!

What is this?

Come on, COTC fans. This sequel was absolutely dreadful. The characters were so stupid. Hannah knew what would happen if she stayed around and was even told the truth by her own mother. However, she decided to be very dense and stick around for no reason!!! She should have just left town instead of sticking around there.

Plus, how the hell could they bring Issac back?! He had gotten killed in part 1. You all saw it. It was badly written. And remember, Gatlin had become a amish community, how could it become a city again after only like 3 or 4 years?! Not to mention everything looked so 60's about the town.

It was just not believable and horribly thought out. 1 was alright, 2 was forgettable, 3 was cheesy fun, 4 was pretty well executed, 5 was a fun slashfest. However, this one just bit in my book. The series is not about Issac as he is treated like he is in this one. Hopefully COTC 7 redeems it.

Children of the Corn 666 Isaac's Return: Potential squandered

This astounding sixth addition to the Children of the Corn had potential from the start. The antagonist from the 1984 original was returning and being played by the very same actor, it had so much potential to steer the franchise back on course.

Alas it wasn't meant to be. Sadly Isaac returns into a mess of a film with a terrible cliched concept, an outstandingly dull pace and a film that contributes nothing to the series at all.

Credit where credit is due it does have a great twist and the final scene is great, but then immediatly ruins it by having a poor finale to that.

Starring the excellent Stacy Keach Isaac's Return should have been great but poor writing killed it stone dead.

The Good:

Decent twist

The return of Isaac and same actor is great

The Bad:

Very boring

Disapointing ending

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Calling a sixth movie 666 is tacky when it has nothing to do with the source material

I thought "He who walks behind the rows would be taller

Trivia
John Franklin and Gary Bullock are the only actors to appear in more than one "Children of the Corn" movie. Franklin originated the role of Isaac in Les Démons du maïs (1984), which was also his screen debut. Bullock appeared as a different character in Les Démons du maïs 5 : La Secte des damnés (1998) (the farmer in the bar scene).

Goofs
Isaac has supposedly been in a coma for 19 years, but when they show close-ups of his eyes in the beginning (still in a coma, more or less), he clearly has contact lenses in his eyes.
