Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror (1998)

The Worst Film Ever

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Admirable film.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Children of the corn actually isn't that bad and even adds back some of the original plot points that made The first three great.The fifth involves a small group of this kids this time who are trying to provide offerings to the corn god by setting traps and killing cross country drivers.The occult book is back even serving a purpose this time and he who walks behind the tiers takes the form of fire. He really shows his strength, might and vengeful power this go around.Ezekiel is the next parter and had a Manson like away over his followers and even convinces a girl to jump into his put on his command. Playing on fragile emotional state of mind and personal drama to keep his followers in line.The music sounds classical and haunting that bears right into your soul.The atmosphere inside the house and barn reminds me a lot of night of the living dead. With the hands teaching through to pull off boards and break glass with stone dead faces.Fifth times the charm.

Six college students take a wrong turn and find themselves lost in a strangely deserted rural town... only to discover that this deceptively quiet place hides a murderous cult of children controlled by evil forces! The film features a young Eva Mendes' in her first movie. If nothing else, it seems that the "Children of the Corn" franchise was good for launching starlets' careers. Mendes follows in the footsteps of Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts.We have some great roles filled by Kane Hodder (as a bartender), Fred Williamson (a sheriff) and David Carradine (a prophet and savior). I think Stephen King appears as a drunk guy...I am still confused how this series was allowed to carry on for so long, but at least this one is saved by some good cameos and a fine special effects shot of a splitting head with a fireball inside. Totally did not see that coming.

A group of idiotic college students,on their way to a mutual friend's funeral, stop in an isolated Nebraska town where they have to contend with psychotic kids with sickles who worship a ball of fire. Having jack all to do with the previous four films (much like part 4 had jack all to do with the previous three), this strictly by-the-numbers slasher film is chock full of idiot 'teenagers' doing moronic things (IE going into cornfields alone, staying at abandoned houses, etceteras) is only notable whatsoever in somehow getting David Carradine, and Kane Hodder involved in this travesty. Also it's Eve Mendes first (but sadly wasn't her last) film role. This film isn't worth your time, well it IS a COTC film so that's a big enough tip off to leave it be, but i'm a glutton for punishment.My Grade: D-

Adam While As the Child was not bad !Adam While is a good actor:-) He's the only good thing came up on my head. The story sucked !I just want to say if you have heartattack ,do not watch this movie ! It's terrible scary !!!! I don't think the story was good,but very scary. I 've seen the first one & the 2nd. They were much better ! If you are fan of Adam While,you could take a look :-) Otherwise keep out :-(
