AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Boba_Fett1138 Come on now, this movie has actually very little to do with the previous entries. Not that that necessarily is a bad thing though, since the previous entries also exactly weren't brilliant, tense, frightening or original enough movies.But also on its own right, this movie is a pretty poorly done one. It's story is quite bad and it just pretty much fails to take off. The movie its movie remains a mysterious one till pretty much the very end of the movie. Not that it contributes much to the movie its tension or anything, it just comes across as some very lazy and simplistic writing.All we have here in this movie are a bunch of mindless looking and moving kids, who every now and then start to laugh annoyingly. The movie seems to be without any real good ideas and instead grabs onto some simplistic and formulaic horror moments, that besides are not handled or executed too well into the movie.It's not really the type of movie in which you care a lot about anything. The characters are just flat and uninteresting and you don't care if they survive or not and if they will be able to solve the 'mystery'. With this all it also doesn't help much that the story is filled with some distracting plot-holes and just elements that don't make sense in the overall story. Like I said, the movie has some very lazy and cheesy writing and the movie its story should had basically never turned into a movie. I just don't get it why some scripts get even turned into movie. Surely when you read a story like this you'll known beforehand that the movie won't be anything too spectacular or even original to watch. I also just don't get why Michael Ironside is in this movie. His role is so totally pointless and besides also far too small to make a relevant impression. He is an actor that deserves far better really but oh well, everybody needs to do some work to pay the bills and maintain their swimming pool and mistresses.Doesn't as too much to do with the Children of the Corn-series or how it started all out once with Stephen Kings' short story but also a stand-alone picture this one is far too formulaic and without any good ideas of its own.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Michael_Elliott Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) * (out of 4) The seventh and final film in the original series has a young woman (Claudette Mink) traveling to Omaha when her elderly grandmother doesn't answer her phone. The woman discovers her grandmother missing and with the help of a cop they start to investigate her past, which leads them to a cult that she was in many years ago where several kids killed themselves. Now, it appears, the ghosts are back and looking for new victims. As with many of the sequels, this one here has very little to do with the original short story by Stephen King but this one here goes out and tries to mix in a little of THE SHINING as well. The film is a complete mess as it doesn't work as an entry in the series and it isn't strong enough to work on its own. The entire premise is rather predictable as we know why the grandmother is missing and we know who the mysterious children are long before our leading lady. The entire movie runs only 80-minutes but it feels much long as I was having a hard time just making it through to the end. The performances are all bland to decent with Mink making for an interesting lead, although she isn't given anything to do. Michael Ironside appears as a strange priest but doesn't add too much. The violence this time out isn't overly graphic and the gore is at a rather low count but even if it had been more it probably wouldn't have helped the movie.

SteveRaccoon I expected nothing from this, except that being a fairly modern film that it would at least spare me 80s denim and bad haircuts xD I don't think I even got that.If it had just been total rubbish with no glimmer of potential, that would be OK, predictable and OK.What really gets me is that this film could have been something, it really wouldn't have taken much at all! Ordinary camera shots, kids behaving evil rather than like mannequins, a heroine character with the ability to realise she's in a horror film not some 'real life drama' and a few other things, this could have been a good straight to video/TV film, it really could have been :( Another thing which bugged me is that the film had something over many of its rivals: the picture quality really wasn't bad. Oftentimes it's this alone which betrays a shoe-string budget movie from a supposedly 'better' picture with more money. SO close to a good film, it's so annoying..COTC films already have the basis for a good creepy feeling, those pesky kids! It was evident here too, there was some good atmosphere when the kiddies were on the prowl, but it was messed up with some very poor direction.Stupid 'ghost' sounds (kids laughing in this case), silly ineffective camera cheap-shots and minutes wasted watching the heroine wander around when it's obvious she will find nothing. These annoy viewers every flipping time, yet once again they're here to annoy COTC: Revelation viewers too. These pathetic acts of film-making sloth knock the film down a few pegs on their own! The kids act like robots in bad threads most of the time, these are self-assured, murderous and downright evil kids from hell without a scrap of empathy. So.. why are they gimping around like second-rate zombies in goofy clothing? For God's sake. *Scowls* The main apartment building doesn't seem inhabited at all, a total ghost town, yet within a few shots it turns out that there's a bunch of people living there. The audience shouldn't have to be faced with such cack-handed bloopers like this. Sloppy, it jarred and brought me straight out of the film. If the crew can't be bothered to put a film together properly, how can they expect anyone to bother to watch it?I was glad when it was over, there's nothing worse than glimpsing what could have been.In short: don't rent, don't buy, don't bother.

movieman_kev 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
