Les Démons du maïs 7 : La Révélation

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

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

I saw this 7th part for the first time recently.

This one started off very well with ample atmosphere n creepiness.

The building in the middle of almost nowhere, a single grocery store, the dark isolated alleys n the creepy building with its creepy corridors, all these added to the atmosphere but the conclusion isn't satisfactory n the ending seemed rushed due to the budget.

Michael Ironside is there for few mins n he seems to be lost. His character seems to be lost too.

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!!!!!!!!

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

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The Children Of The Corn have 1 weakness, video games!
