Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
GL84 Plagued by disturbing nightmares, a young woman returns to her hometown in Gatlin, Nebraska and learns that the town are all disciples of a fanatical cult leader behind her visions that have been intended to get her to fulfill a prophecy and tries to stop it from happening.There was some good stuff to this one when it tried to. One of it's best features is the fact that there's a couple well-designed action scenes spread throughout that make for a rather entertaining element. The car chase is the most impressive, as the monster truck chasing them allows for some nice visuals coming out over the corn- rows and the cramped location make for a thrilling, exciting encounter. Others throughout the film, from the hotel confrontations and the resurrection in the hospital, make for some nice times here, though where the film gets the best action scenes are contained in the final half-hour. There's a great ritualistic ceremony that plays out from the set-up to the actions portrayed and the chase through the cornfields with the night-time setting being a big factor as well as the flowing water, the motorcycles brought in and the incessant laughter heard in the background of the whole sequence. The extended nature of it allows for plenty of running-and-hiding which makes it feel more tense than it should, and it kick-starts the second half rather nicely. Also found in the finale is the best part, the action-packed finish that has a lot going for it and definitely gets in some really great parts to it, from the revelation that comes as a total surprise to the brawling that occurs and much more, really gets a lot of points for it. The last plus to the film is the blood and gore, which are all combined together into the film's good parts. There wasn't a whole lot of flaws, but there was a couple big areas that don't work. One of the main ones is that the film just doesn't have a whole lot going on for it in the early goings. The fact that it's mostly a mystery as to what the source behind the strange visions are is the main reason as it has to build them up and then make them threatening and worthy of an investigation then have a rational outcome that plays into the rest of the film which it fails at doing. The mystery here almost feels like a back-story during the segment it's supposed to be the main focus as it spends most of the time intermingling the search with the townspeople meet-and-greet which makes the beginning play out really slowly and not that interesting. There's also the matter of the film's biggest problem in that so many of the scenes intended to be scary just fall flat. The segments wandering around in a deserted hallway in the hospital are prime choices but instead just show her walking forever through an empty place before someone jumps out at her and the amount of time wasted here is pretty big. The last flaw here is the fact that the film doesn't really tend to show the cult as something dangerous, which was always done in the past. Here, it barely even matters since the second half is all about the reformed relationship with the cult around the edges to provide an obstacle to overcome, barely making a dent that the others had successfully done well. This isn't as noticeable as the others and can be overlooked quite easily.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a shadowy, mild sex scene
Rainey Dawn Okay - Isaac died in the first film? NO! If you remember he came back from death in a supernatural way to kill Malachi - because "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" wants Malachi. (This makes Isaac one of the Undead I would guess). Apparently not long after that, Isaac ended up in 19 year coma somehow and that is where we begin our story with "Isaac's Return". What is aggravating? The totally blew a golden opportunity to make this film (almost) as good as the first film with the idea behind Isaac returning. This film is a total waste of a great idea.Yes this film is bad. The ONLY thing good about it is Isaac - that's it! The rest of the film is crap. What is really dumb to me? "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" killing Isaac in the end - that just blows.And the idea of Hannah Montana being the only one to save them from Isaac throughout the film (until the ending) really stinks. And this dumb teenage kid being "HE" or "Thee" is totally dumb - NOT what "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" is at all! Isaac DID the bidding of "He" in the first film and there is NO reason for "HE" to be mad at Isaac at all. What is wrong with writers today? Are they not thinkers too? 3/10
seveleniumus Seriously, the main hero of this movie is a complete MORON. The normal person would turn around and get the hell out, after seeing a priest-ghost, who says that she doesn't have a choice of not bearing a child. But no, chick doesn't get a clue, she doesn't get a clue when she gets almost strangled by a local doctor, gets assaulted by a madman, wakes up a leader of a religious group, who was in a coma for twenty years, simply by touching him, gets chased all over the place by jeep, after someone breaks into her room when she sleeps and leaves a message on the wall "leave or die" , she doesn't get a clue after seeing the illusions of dead birds all over the place, and she doesn't get a god damn clue even when she finally finds her dear mother, she was seeking in the first place and then the mother explains, that she is destined to be raped by religious fanatics and bear a child of a cult. She is still pretty much clueless at this point. Here of course she gets finally kidnapped, but is saved by some guy on the motorcycle and how does the nearly-raped victim decides to thank him for that? By having an unprotected sex with him, of course. Fortunately that guy turns out to be a main villain/demon in the first place, who for some reason has nothing better to do than cite lame catchphrases and blow the stuff up by saying "boom!" So in the end the dumb chick gets what she deserves - she technically gets raped and now has to bear a devils child, the end. (Aborion probably being out of question, as far, as movie lets as know. Some message here? I don't think so. IMO the writers of this story were even dumber than our main hero).In conclusion - go watch COTC 1,2,3 or 4, ignore what everyone says, they are still enjoyable movies at most part, but 5 and 6 - stay away, trust me, you ain't gonna be happy if you won't listen to my advice.
TwitchyDingo After my parents told me to rent the first Children of the Corn, I was skeptical about it and, wow, I got hooked. When I also heard there was 6 more sequels, I grew even more interested. Isaac was killer in the first movie, and I was wondering if they had made a sequel with him in it....bingo, they did. I bought this movie from Blockbuster and I popped it in the DVD player and watched it. OK...my opinion on it?...kind of lame. It's very sad to see a movie with such a promising title to it, and have it fall into pieces. Seriously guys, is this "Hannah's Return"? or "Isaac's Return"?. All I saw in it was Hannah Hannah Hannah, I mean....where's Isaac in all of this? a few shots here and there?. The acting was mediocre in some retrospects; John did a great job with Isaac's role in my opinion. Gabriel reminded me of a pretty boy, trying to get his hands on some girl. Ugh, but..being a fan of COTC, I did enjoy the fact they shamelessly tried to even make another sequel and it's still sitting on my shelf. One other thing I didn't like was the fact Isaac was in a coma for 19 years...then barely has time to acknowledge himself, and just dies at the end. This could've turned out to be a great movie....if it weren't for the fact these people didn't even try hard enough.5/10 stars.
