Highly Overrated But Still Good

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

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.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I guess you'll have to forgive me for not having seen all of the movies in this series. I still saw most, but I might get some details wrong about how I'm confused about this movie. First of all, it reveals that Isaac has been in a coma or something since the first movie. I believe in the first movie he died and then came back as a zombie or something and the story with him just ended right there. Was there something in Parts 4 and 5 I missed? I would watch him, but I think these movies are stupid and am not going to waste my time with all of them.The fact that I'm doing most of them is good enough. I admit that it was interesting to learn about Isaac returning. He was literally the only character that I knew of that appeared in more than one of these movies. I remember his hammy acting from the first film and how it was entertaining to see that. It made the first film at least not as bad as the sequels. Here, Isaac is pretty boring and really not even that important to the story. This movie features the talk of a prophecy of a girl who needs to make more children of the corn with Isaac's son. I don't know how or when Isaac had a son. Are there even any children in this? Well, there is this one scene with a bunch of kids but they never show up again. The guy who played Isaac actually suffered from a disease that stopped him from growing as he was 25 in the first movie! This movie has no point and is just another entry in this purposeless series. *

I will at least say this is one of the better sequels that has came out of the series. It is watchable, it was just not my favorite one.Issac makes his return and the story somewhat focuses on him. I think he could have had a better part in it. 19 years after the first one, he has a child who is supposed to be the main guy but the title goes to Gabriel.The man who plays Gabriel does a fantastic job of being "He who walks behind the rows". He plays the character well and I think that is one of the better parts of the movie.It does link back to the first one, Rachel (Who was the one who helped Amos pass on). I just wish things would have been a little different and I think the plot with the recurring characters is just too much.

***SPOILERS*** The 6th out of 7 movies about the children of the corn with more on the way has to do with Hannah Martin, Natalie Ramsey, going back to Gatlin to find her birth mother whom she was told died in childbirth. As if she's drawn to Gatlin by some evil force Hannah's 19th birthday is to take place the next day Halloween. That's the same age that her father Amos was sacrificed to the "One who walks behind the Rows" by the children of the corn's whacked out leader Isaac, John Franklin.At Gatlin Hannah finds out it had became a ghost town with even the children of the corn not that much interested in the fall corn harvest and annual human sacrifice. It's then that Isaac who was supposedly killed in the original children of the corn movie and has been in a self induced coma ever since had like in the story of "Sleeping Beauty", without even being kissed by the handsome prince or princess, come alive to continue the work that he started some 15 years ago.***SPOILERS*** About the best thing in the movie is that we and Hannah finally get to see just who this mysterious "One who walks behind the Rows" really is to the shock of the children, now teenagers, of the corn's leader Isaac. Isaac has been trying to get the children of the corn to believe that he was in tight with the "One who walks behind the Rows" as him being his spokesman or messenger on earth! When in fact he was just a phony baloney trying to manipulate them to do his bidding in getting his offspring Matt, John Patrick white, to marry Hannah who's seed is to bear the next #2 man, or even woman, of the "One who walks behind the Rows" to continue this cycle of induced insanity.***MAJOR SPOILER*** As things turn out the "One who walks behind the Rows" has been on to Isaac right from the start in him being undercover as one of the children of the corn who by observing him knows every move the he's makes and is not too happy about it.Really ridicules movie that has staring in it adults, how did they escaped getting killed by the children of the corn, Stacy Keach as Gatlin's only doctor and Hannah's mom Rachel Colby, Nancy Allen, who knows the secret of her daughter carrying the seed of Amos! It's Amos who happens to be the one and only righteous successor to that fake Isaac who's been trying to get the top spot as the "One who walks behind the Rows" #1 spokesperson on earth. That since even before he was beaten into a coma by the children of the corn 15 years ago by him failing to deliver on his promises!This made me wonder why would the very people who did Isaac in back then fell for his same line of BS now knowing full well just how full of it he really is! Or had the passage of time, 15 years, caused their memories to dim and thus overlook that very important fact!

quite a good movie actually - a horror film that doesn't use gore to create the suspense. The plot is quite twisted and prolly almost impossible to understand unless you know the first movie and don't think too much about the other 4 sequels. It makes me sad that this has such a low rating since it is really an artful film that managed to scare me - - - and i've seen a LOT of horror movies - the only sad thing is that it does leave a lot of questions open in the end and you sort of get the feeling the that evil has won - but can't say anything for sure.I can only hope for a sequel that completes this plot. From what i've hear "Revelation" doesn't. I haven't seen that yet tho.
