Let's be realistic.

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This is the 8th Children of the Corn movie. The 7th one Children of the Corn revelation is a great movie. And this is awful. It is not scary. It has an awful story line. It also has an awful ending. Do not see this movie. It is awful.

Genises was a poor attempt to explain the cause behind the cause of what made the kids go mad yet I thought the first two films handled it fine.A man returns from war to find all the adults killed and really was the best part of the feature. The rest became ridiculous when a couple end up in town at the man's house to find he has become a disciple of the corn. How or why is never explained since its usually only children.The entity now lives inside a child who's kept outside in a shed and wants to grow a super army of children to do his bidding.The idea isn't bad, but the conception was horrendous and didn't make any sense. It lacked suspense or penance with a bland caste.There were so many plot holes that it seemed the writers taped together different scripts and branded it a corn film.The movie lacked a fresh film and ended the legacy for the children of the corn series instead of breathing air into a series on life support.

A young couple spend the night at a preacher's home, and soon begin to suspect that he has a child locked up in his barn. Can they save the child from this imprisonment? Pretty much the nicest thing I can say about this film is that it features Billy Drago, who is a decent actor and under-appreciated. The makeup department did a good job making him look old and rustic, and he he has much less of an exotic look about him than usual.That positive note aside, I am a bit confused what is going on with the Children of the Corn franchise. This one has very little to do with children and very little to do with corn. Some efforts are made to connect it to the series by attempting to offer a back story (presumably why this one is called "Genesis"). But it could be changed and not affect the overall story at all.Obviously by stamping it with the Children of the Corn label, more people will rent the film and possibly even buy it. But it does the movie a disservice in the long run. I suspect that if the franchise aspects were changed slightly, this could have been a fairly respectable stand-alone story.Sadly, it was not the last one made in the franchise...

Children of the Corn... what a bizarre franchise. The first 3 followed a set storyline, and the rest (aside from 6) were just their own stories ala Halloween 3, sometimes with very minor mentions of previous entries. 'Genesis', the 8th film in the series, is quite good for the first half. Intriguing storyline involving a couple's car breaking down in the California desert, and they seek refuge from a weird preacher and his hottie Ukrainian wife. There's a child locked up in a shed behind the house, and it seems like a bizarre entity doesn't want the couple to leave the Preacher's house. For the first 40 minutes or so, the film tells a good, straightforward creepy story. Acting for the most part is good and credible. But then, things get extremely messy and confusing. Nothing is explained, the last half will have you scratching your head. Should I mention the horrible stock footage car crash? Yeah, that was hilariously bad, and makes a film that did a good effort of covering its' low production values for the whole film look EXTREMELY cheap. Good start, messy and confusing middle, horrible conclusion.
