Highly Overrated But Still Good
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
So disappointed. The movie went no where and was very confusing. It was such a waste of time and money.
This film appears to be some kind of sequel with the opening showing the past and numerous flashbacks to a film I don't recall. Could be my bad, I don't know. Ruth (Marci Miller) is pregnant and sets fire to a corn field to get free. We catch up with her 13 years later with her son Aaron (Jake Ryan Scott) on the road. She has not been able to leave corn country in that time and ends up in a small corn town named "Luther." More flashbacks, kids, people die, want son...to no surprise. Slow moving, poor dialogue, boring. Low budget rip-off. Guide: Near sex. Brief nudity (Molly Nikki Anderson). Don't recall any swearing.
Well, all I can really say is... it's better than the 2009 film. Also, why does every Stephen King film have many stereotypes? The black guy that stands out among the rest, rednecks, the sunglasses wearing deputy, religious freaks, and people among the town that are just jerks. For an amazing author such as Stephen King, his formula sometimes gets so redundant it makes me nauseous.The formula is simple, have some religious kids in corn, with farming tools, and they'll kill people. This film also mooches the formula of Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return, and I'll let you figure that out.This movie isn't as bad as some of the previous installments, but still, how many more of these movies are going to be made?
Not much to say: The ninth installation in the long-running Children of the Corn series, Stephen King is getting richer and the film world is growing poorer.An endless stream of stereotypes running together as a feature. They include:1) Prejudiced rednecks 2) Cool Black guy..almost 3) Religious nuts 4) Sunglasses wearing deputy 5) Corn childrenBasically, a Syfy channel film with profanity and adult themes...and that's about it. If you like horror and there's nothing else in the RedBox, then OK. Other than that...give this one a wide pass....
