I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Four friends end up in a seemingly deserted (and dangerous) town after crashing their car near at cornfield in Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror. The film begins with a young boy being possessed by "he who walks behind the rows". Flash forward a year from then, and the little boy Ezekiel(who hasn't aged) is in charge of the other children in town similar to Isaac in the first film, Micah in II, Eli in III and Josiah in IV. Anyways, it's revealed that one of the of friends had a brother named Jacob who began worshipping "he who walks behinds the rows" as a child after she left him to live with their abusive father years ago. She finds out that some kids are "practising" the same belief so she, along with her friends, go to find him. They come across this sort of foster house where children live with a man named Luke. He is their adopted wards of the state. Eventually Allison finds Jacob who is under the control of Ezekiel. It's the eve of his 18th birthday, and as per Children of the Corn rules, he must die when he turns the age of an adult. Allison and the friends find out what Luke and Ezekiel have been doing and come together to put a stop to their treachery leading to a huge bloodbath. Children of the Corn 5 is a pretty good installment to the film series. It isn't anything special, but has it's moments. The acting is pretty good and the level of gore is decent enough. I liked the ending as well to this as well. Instead of ending it in the cornfields with the survivor walking away (which usually happens), it takes us a little further in time and concludes the film in an interesting way. I recommend it to horror fans and fans of the series.5/10

The Children of the Corn-series is by no means a great series but still I never quite understood the extremely low ratings all of the movie received here on IMDb. Surely there are far worse genre series and movies to watch out there, though I also must say that this movie is the least one of the series that I've seen so far.Basically the movie adds too little to the long running series. There are no real surprises, when you've seen one or more movies out of the series already. With its story the movie also makes very little attempt to impress. It tries to be more different with its approach and characters this time.Horror movies always have been very popular with teenagers. It's also the reason why there are lots of movies out there that feature teenage characters in the lead roles. Those movies however are also rarely among the best that the genre has to offer. This Children of the Corn entry also felt to need to step in on this horror movie making trend, by throwing in a couple of high school student characters into the Children of the Corn franchise. It's all pretty pointless, since it adds so little new or interesting to the franchise and as a matter of fact only brings the movie down even more.Horror-wise this movie is also obviously lacking. There are only some decent looking effects and gore that can be seen as a redeeming quality. However not quite enough to safe the movie its horror really. Not that any of the Children of the Corn movies have even been really scary or effective with its horror or concept, with the exception of "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice".It's always fun to see how these now famous actors pop up in this horror-movies early in their careers. Guess they don't often want to be remembered at it, as would be the case with Eva Mendes with this movie. Here whole character and her subplot just isn't really powerful or interesting enough to work out. Still I wished she was more in the movie because I definitely preferred her above Stacy Galina but this was probably always because of her looks of course. Also Kane Hodder and David Carradine show up in some small roles and also they feel pretty pointless but this is probably also due to the overall story, which just seemed pretty pointless in general.All in all, another really pointless sequel within the Children of the Corn franchise, that really seemed to run out of good ideas pretty early on in the series already. So do these movies really make that much money to justify all those sequels that got released to it?4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Children of the Corn V (1998) * 1/2 (out of 4) Fifth film in the series is once again a different direction but that doesn't mean it's going to work. Six college friends are going to the cornfields so that they can spread the ashes of their dead friend. When two are slaughtered the other four stay put so that they can find one of the members missing brother. This leads to a strange home ran by a man named Luke (David Carradine) who is using the children to start a new cult. After enjoying the previous entry this one here comes as a letdown for several reasons but the biggest being that this one here offers up a rather interesting cast. A hardly recognizable Eva Mendes plays one of the college students, Kane Hodder of Jason fame plays a bartender and we've got Fred Williamson playing the sheriff. Sadly Williamson and even Carradine are wasted in thankless roles that don't require either actor very much to do. The story here isn't anything too original and writer/director Wiley doesn't try to do much with it. There doesn't seem to have been too much thought going into the screenplay as we get the typical set up and everything that follows pretty much plays by the rules and doesn't offer any surprises or twists. The entire "village" being ran by Carradine is rather bland and, as usual, doesn't make too much sense. The performances are all a mixed bag but it's fun seeing veterans like Carradine and Williamson even if they aren't given much to work with. Ahmet Zappa appears in a role and Mendes, in her film debut, doesn't offer too much either. The film contains your typical murder sequences but none of them really stand out as being any good. In the end, this film offers nothing new or entertaining and its 83-minute running time goes way too slowly.

At this point writers just decided - fu** originality. They just took some generic slasher film plot - bunch of dumb depressed teenagers gets stuck in the middle on nowhere, find some dead bodys, gets scared sh**-less, wants to go home, but some dumb chick wants some score to settle with her long lost brother who happens to live in this lost-in-time town, so they decide to stay because none of them have a life out there and they are depressed because of being worthless, so they get all slaughtered in the process, except the dumb chick, who was responsible for all of them staying in the first place - what a rip-off! Oh, and there are some children, who worship some "that who walks behind the clouds" (hahaha, not funny, I know, that's movies joke, not mine), but that's not important in this movie, seriously you could add any slasher horror flick plot here and it would have made as much sense as this one, I enjoyed every movie in these series up to this point, but not this one, sorry, this one isn't COTC, not by a long-shot.
