Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1993)

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The Final Sacrifice continuous soon after the happenings in CotC, the town of Gatlin and its children gets discovered, and then adopted to the nearest town of Gatlin, oddly enough we don't get any views about investigations or any kind of police work been done in Gatlin, it doesn't seem that the kids has gotten any kind of psychical evaluation or questioning either, those murdering children has just got shipped to the nearest town. Strangely enough is this movie made 8 years after Children of the Corn (horror sequels often tends to be released soon after the first movie) so the children from the first movie was probably too old for this movie, so we get bunch of new ones, this time on called Micah steps up to lead the corn cult worshiping children. I can't say i'm a fan of this new character, I would rather had seen Isaac and Malachi, two characters I find a lot creepier than Micah. It's not only Micah pretty much every character in this movie was bad, they were so bleak and boring that I couldn't care less if they died. The plot isn't much engaging either, and there is so many plot holes! Even this movie progress the storyline from the first one, it doesn't fit well. There absolute nothing suspenseful or scary, no atmosphere either, something i really appreciate in the first one. I'm not a huge fan of the first one, but it's better than this. David Price, the director, didn't impress much, and coming from a movie called "Son of Darkness: To Die for II" says it all, Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice was just a cash-in with poor film-team, equipment and no love.

The first Children of the Corn, based on a Stephen king short story, was a dried up, empty husk of a movie, lacking anything really tasty to get the teeth into; whilst part II is far from essential viewing, a belated and predictably dumb sequel, at least there are a few tasty niblets to be found amongst the chaff.Firstly, this one is far more gruesome, the children of Gatlin offing their victims in inventive and often bloody fashion (FX by Bob Keen), highlights including a fatal stabbing with syringes, a messy hemorrhage from the nose and ears caused by voodoo doll, and a silly but fun scene inspired by the Wizard of Oz in which an old woman is crushed by a house (her sister is even called Miss West, as in 'wicked witch of the').The film also benefits from a couple of decent 90s babes in the form of sexy bed and breakfast owner Angela (Rosalind Allen) and busty teen hottie Lacey (Christie Clark). Frustratingly, neither gal gets nekkid for the camera, although Angela does hop in the sack for a brief nudity-free romp with tabloid hack John Garrett (Terence Knox) and lovely Lacey takes a shower under a waterfall in her bikini top, much to the delight of John's son Danny (Paul Scherrer).Sadly, the lacklustre plot itself isn't all any where near as memorable as either the splatter or the eye-candy, and as the story develops, too many elements are introduced that irritatingly conflict with each other—toxic corn that induces hallucinations in children, a psycho cop, He Who Walks Behind The Rows, Indian mysticism—by the end of the film, not only did I not know what was going on, but I didn't really care. Fortunately, as the end of the film approaches, matters get so silly that it can't fail to entertain, with both babes being offered as blood sacrifices, cult leader Micah becoming possessed, and a runaway combine harvester for good measure.5.5 out of 10, rounded up to 6 for IMDb.

For a sequel to "Children of the Corn" i wasn't expecting much of a movie. If you are one of the few who enjoyed "Children of the Corn" and like classic gory movies that are strange you will like this movie. i remember watching it as a kid than looking for it. when i found it i remembered why i loved it. the story has only changed some, children killing adults but it takes place after no. 1. when the neighboring town Hemmingford finds the children and the adults. then the children are moved out and live in new home, but they still meet to discuss their cult and worship, Micah one of the children is possessed by "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" and starts to kill the adults again. but a reporter and his son move into the town to investigate, the father goes to great lengths to find out exactly what happens, the son falls in love and joins the cult, after the cult kills some adults the reporter and a friend he met find poisoned corn and it explains why the children were acting the way they were, the children take the sons lover and a hotel manager to sacrifice but the reporter saves them, and kills Micah, ending the children's reign of terror. what i liked the most about it was how it was nothing like the original. it was cleaver and had some great kills (the guy in the church) and was very interesting to watch to an ultimately satisfying ending to me. thats why Children of the Corn II the Final Sacrifice gets an 8/10

I'd rate this movie as "at least worth a watch". (+) It does pretty well for my standards for the cult and plot. The slasher aspect: 2 (2 good kills). (-) The uprise lacked in both quality and total of murder scenes, there was only one good scene. (It's very disappointing since this is meant to be a slasher film mixed in with supernatural). (+) The supernatural is finally put into action for one of the murdersOverall this movie is worth a watch but if you're not looking to be disappointed on the basis of quality and total of murders, esp. surrounding the town being overtaken, then do yourself a solid and find another movie.
