Wow! Such a good movie.

What a waste of my time!!!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

I believe this was the first direct to video sequel in the "Children Of The Corn" series. Direct to video sequels are rarely good and it makes sense for a series that was never good to begin with. It's amazing how ridiculous this film gets. The plot is that two boys from the town where the first two movies took place have been adopted. The younger boy grows corn which somehow makes him mind control a bunch of other kids, although they don't really make that clear. This movie actually features people being horribly mutilated by cornstalks.There's this one priest characters who I swear looks like John Cleese. Kind of ironic considering he's a critic of religion. The dumbest part is at the very end where they use these bad special effects to show the kid throwing fireballs (!) at his brother with his scythe. It gets much dumber as we seem to see the thing that's been hiding underground the past movies. It looks like some giant mole rat with multiple appendages. The effects are horrendous and the story is just stupid. *1/2

I picked this up at my local Pound Store recently, and thought what the hell? Freaky corn children in the big smoke was sure to have some interesting results!And it did.Surprisingly, COTC3 was quite a well made, FX filled, darkly comic flick that had 2 great looking leads, Daniel Cerny and Ron Melendez, who pulled off the freaky and the funny quite well.Daniel Cerny, as the main devil child, was just fantastic! Probably one of the best evil child roles I've seen.For fans of classic 80's horror, you should check this out. There is still plenty of gore fun in the corn, and then some!Worth the watch!

Okay I really liked the 1st two installments of this series. But eventually you knew they would have to start making horrible sequels.The film takes place in Chicago and two children from Gatlin, Nebraska were adopted to a family that lived in the Windy city. One named Joshua who was a dashing young man and the other was Eli a sort of Damien-esque child. Well Eli plants "Supernatural Corn". Long story short he practically hypnotizes all the children at his school and people die in graphic ways.I had a lot of flaws with this flick of course. 1st was making it into the urban setting. 2nd was the characters. 3rd was Joshua and the black guy driving all the way back to Nebraska to get the bible of the corn. Then last but not least was the finale, it should've ended a lot of earlier. But instead they had to get a few more deaths in before the credits started to roll. And the sister of that one guy who was the love interest of Joshua was a doll at one moment. I understand low budget and all but seriously this was the 1990s.Overall its not the worst Children of the Corn film but it isn't the best.

The movie opens in Gatlin. Hello Gatlin! It's nice to see you again. Oh, hi corn! Glad you're here too.A man comes out of a trailer, drunk and holding a scythe and starts chasing his son through the corn – for what I can only assume is to chop him up into little pieces and then eat them, or maybe sell them for money. I don't know. Son runs to his little brother who's half his size and gets him to deal with it.This is how we are introduced to the hammy acting skills of Eli and his brother Joshua. Two brothers, who like all kids of Gatlin – kill their father. Thus sending Eli and Joshua to Da Hood.They move in with their foster parents, Eli bringing corn with him – and it's all magic corn that kills people.Eli and Joshua attend school and find themselves starting to grow apart, they're still sharing a bed mind you, and as Joshua proves himself on the Basketball court (where EVERYTHING counts) and makes new friends. Eli gets angry at his brother asking why he's not with him anymore and that he loves him so much and needs to be with him all the time and to never ever leave him. Well he doesn't exactly say that – but his eyes told me that's what he was feeling.So apparently Eli is all evil and I think the movie was trying to push across that he was the devil? They really need to stop coming up with convoluted and over-reaching explanations when crazy religious kids who worship some corn demon works just fine.My favourite death was of the foster mother, who tripped over a pole and impaled her skull with a piece of pipe. Awesome. The ick factor goes up slightly when you think that one of her last memories on earth were of her super young foster son tonguing her ear. Nice.As Eli starts to convert the city kids to his cracked way of thinking and to start killing off their parents – Joshua heads back to Gatlin (Yay! Gatlin) which must be just around the corner from Chicago, to save the freaking day.While no where near as crappy as Children of the Corn 2: Final Sacrifice, this only rates slightly above in terms of inventive deaths and gore. And really, set in the city? It's about CORN movie people; a 3 row corn 'field' at the back of an abandoned warehouse is not creepy at all. It's weird.Charlize Theron is an extra in this movie. She must be so proud.Next up, Children of the Corn 4: Space Corn.
