Redundant and unnecessary.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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 final film to end a decent series that doesn't go out with a bang, but a whisper.Once again they bring it back to the city, an apartment building actually, as a woman searches for her grandmother and finds children growing corn.What made this a disappointment was the repetition, no strong villains and the story is all over the place. It wants to be a children of the corn film, but feels more like silent hill. The grandmother is a cult member who got away even though it seemed nearly impossible in the other films and has died of natural causes. There are only one mention of he who walks behind the Rowe and hardly any good suspense or death scenes to get excited for.The ending fizzles out with a deluxe mechanism of the grandmother vanquishing the evil spirits and saying goodbye to her granddaughter and one fan who's has enough.You couldn't beat a diamond out of a coal here and it was a lousy way to go.Children of the corn needs to rest in piece with five out of four good films and call it a day.4/10

The seventh film in the Children of the Corn series takes us to a soon- to-be condemned building where our main character Jamie's grandmother lives. Jamie goes to visit her grandma, but finds the building she lives in a mess. And her grandmother is missing. She decides to stay at the building to wait and see if she comes back, but finds some strange things going on. There are two creepy looking kids that are always appearing all over the place. And since this is a 'Children of the Corn' film, seeing creepy little kids is never a good thing. Eventually we find some secrets out about Jamie's grandmother, and then it's up to Jamie to battle an evil force trying to kill her.This seventh instalment in a LONG drawn out series is not all that good. I remember it being better than 'Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return', but it fails to match some of the earlier sequels. It feels cheap, the production of it all just feels like it was made on a low budget. And it likely was! The acting wasn't all that bad which could've been an issue. Claudette Mink was good as the lead character Jamie. A problem with this film and the one before it is that it fails to bring not only scares, but entertainment. COTC 1-5 had some really good moments, even if some of those movies weren't very good. This one just felt rushed and some of the plot was confusing.I'd recommend this to 'Children of the Corn' fans only. It's a good enough entry if you are a fan of the series, but fails in comparison to some of the other sequels.5/10

Dull I really liked first 30 minutes of this movie, it kinda reminded me an old-school horror adventure game – the chick comes to creepy place, where her grandmother is supposed to live, but she can't find her, so she goes around collecting clues and meeting strange local people, while witnessing strange events and meeting some strangely looking kids and the acting is actually not bad up to this point, but after the 30th minute movie kinda falls apart. Death scenes are lame and not scary to say the least and the scariest thing you see would probably be some little kids playing evil dead – a video game on a machine. Children laugh effect sounds extremely fake and not threatening. As for the story it stops really developing after 30th minute too. Nothing gets accomplished, except from local people being slaughter and it's just down the hill from there. It would probably be safe to say that this movie would better stand alone with some different plot elements because COTC aren't really that important here. I would've loved the movie if it could've sustained the atmosphere of the beginning, but it failed to do that. Failed big time. The ending is lame and very unsatisfying too. If you're going to watch this movie I recommend to shut it down after that magical 30th minute I keep mentioning. Unless you want to be bored to sleep that is. Good stuff lasts for about 40 % of the movie so I give it 4/10.

"Children of the Corn: Revelation" is the seventh sequel in this never ending horror series, and was one that I actually really enjoyed. This film is about a woman named Jamie, who arrives in a small rural town to visit her grandmother, Hattie. When she arrives at the dilapidated Hampton Arms apartment building, which is incidentally located in the middle of a cornfield, she discovers that her grandmother has mysteriously disappeared. After having a strange encounter with some children at a small-town market nearby one evening, Jamie begins to get a little creeped out. She goes to the police to report her grandmother missing, and the strange children keep on appearing to her on many occasions around the building as she awaits any news of her grandmother's discovery. Then the other residents of the building begin to disappear one by one, and the many children who are lurking around seem to be behind it...This one really isn't related to the rest of the movies, but I think that's why it prevailed in my eyes. The same plot being rehashed over and over in this series was a little annoying, and I found "Part 6: Isaac's Return" to be godawful. I liked the atmosphere this movie set up; the building was creepy and the bizarre children that pop up all over the place were surprisingly unnerving. The film had some fairly decent scare-scenes and the actors did a fair job here. The ending was a little abrupt though. Some of the CGI corn effects (especially the ones used in the finale) were a little overdone and corny (yes, pun intended!), but it was nothing to pine over. I also found the bathtub scene to be kind of funny and ridiculous, but what can you expect? It's number seven in a horror series in which 90% of the films have straight-to-video releases. If you suspend your disbelief, this is an entertaining, reasonably creepy little flick.While it isn't cinematic brilliance, I found "Children of the Corn: Revelation" to be a decent sequel, and probably my favorite of this horror series. It had a somewhat original story, some good scares and creepy imagery, and stands as something marginally fresh in the recycled series. Worth a watch, even if you haven't seen the previous installments. 7/10.
