The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I've watched all of the Children of the Corn films leading up to this one and enjoyed them all on different levels. Some good and some so bad they're good, but all entertaining. A lot of the latter direct to DVD films in this series all consistently have great cinematography and this one is no different. Other highlights include the titular, Isaac's return. This was a nice call back as it's always nice to have a villain in a horror franchise rather than just a consistent theme, as the Children of the Corn films do. There is also a nice twist that you don't see coming, or at least I didn't see coming in this film and not everything is explained. Which is something more films should do. If you don't have a good explanation sometimes it's best to not say anything, a viewer's imagination is probably going to add more to your film than a weak story.

After 19 years, beautiful Natalie Ramsey (as Hannah Martin) decides to go back to Gatlin, Nebraska. She's been having visions of someone being cut to death in the cornfield. She wants to find her biological mother. Of course, this leads to danger for Ms. Ramsey. In town, she gets off to a bad start by driving her car into the cornfield. This has never been a good move. Checked out by heavy-smoking doctor Stacy Keach (as Michaels), Ramsey discovers original "Children of the Corn" star John Franklin (as Isaac Chroner) is a comatose patient in the hospital. Uh-oh...The ending of the prior film, plus the "666" in the title, suggests a completely different story than this one. Possibly, filmmakers forgot four sequels and went back to the first one; continuity is not one of this film series' strong suits. All the new characters introduced in the last film and the devilish tot with the glowing eyes becomes big boy "Isaac" or, possibly, a new fetus. No doubt, this story's promising copulation between Ramsey and handsome Paul Popowich (as Gabriel) will be forgotten, too. By now, someone should have tried to tie these films together; they are confusing and inconsistent...With clocks, corridors and camera angles, director Kari Skogland and his crew do give it some style, though.**** Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return (10/19/99) Kari Skogland ~ Natalie Ramsey, Paul Popowich, John Franklin, Nancy Allen

Just because Stephen King wrote it ... doesn't mean its any good! And that is pretty much what I feel about all the corny movies of children taking over the world ... didn't happen in the 60s, and it didn't happen in all of these movies either. Filming content was very good. Editing was? Dialogue had a few ridiculous mistakes. He that walks behind the rose? When has anyone ever seen a rose walk that didn't wind up in the madhouse?! The main character could have escaped numerous times, but did not. The storyline was very predictable. It was nice to see Nancy Allen again, she was so good in Carrie, and her performance in this was pretty good also.Hey, maybe its just me ... I have a huge problem with short stories being stretched into two hours of not much else to say. I found The Langoliers and The Stand to be a total bore. Ditto when it comes to The Tommyknockers, Storm Of The Century, and Riding The Bullet.

Children of the Corn 666 (1999) ** (out of 4)The sixth film in the series is a mildly entertaining if rather needless direct sequel to the first film. This time out a young girl (Natalie Ramsey) goes back to Gatlin to try and find out who her real mother is. Once there she awakens Isaac (John Franklin), the original film's leader of the children. Soon he is back preaching his religious stuff with hopes of passing it on to his son. If you've seen the original film then you know it's impossible for Issac to be in a coma here let alone have the possibility of coming back to life but this is a horror series so you'll just have to put that out of your mind. I thought the first half of this movie was rather slow without too many good things going on but the final half really picks up and makes for a mildly interesting film. The story is pretty much what we've seen in the previous films with a group of religious nuts spitting out gospel but this time there seems to be something a tad bit deeper in their motives. A few minor changes makes for an entertaining second half that includes a rather exciting ending. Ramsey does a pretty good job in the lead role and Franklin doesn't miss a beat in stepping back into the role he last did fifteen years earlier. Stacy Keach is good in a thankless role as a doctor and Nancy Allen is on hand looking better than ever. The two are in here for their name value but both are good. The special effects are a tad bit better than average as is the editing and various other technical things. The music score is also a step up but the killings are all rather bland with the exception being a suicide that happens towards the end. I doubt fans of the first film are going to jump all over this "conclusion" since there are many unanswered question or facts that are overlooked.
