Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
omp9 Genesis difference very much from the standard CotC movies, you will not find much corn and even less of children, almost no existent, and no Gatlin town, actually they are pretty much in the same cabin the whole movie, so it's different, doesn't have the CotC feel either, more like a possessed themed movie. But all that being said, the tension has probably never been better within the series, good acting (Billy Drago steels the show, possible the best performance of within all CotC movies), good camera-work and good effects, so it's a good crafted movie but, it's probably not what I wanted from a CotC movie. About the title Genesis, I didn't get much about that, it doesn't tell anything about the creation or beginning of anything, and towards the end I felt the plot was going nowhere, and when talking about the end, I didn't liked the ending at all. Overall, Children of the Corn: Genesis was better than expected, but confusing and different.
atinder here a sequel 10 years after the last sequel and a remake that came out two years ago.The best they could in the 10 years breaks, this movie was really dull, there was not much going at all, the Girlfriend and boyfriends they crash and they stop and talk for the whole 94% of movie and the scenes just drags on.The scare scene in this , so badly done, that you laugh and say come on!, there no atmosphere in this at all, everything was falt and plot was really boring.This movie did not feel like corn movie at all and the kids were not even in the movie, this were not creepy at all, there could have made a lot more scary.The scariest thing about this movie, was the acting, as it was really bad, (I Saw the trailer, I knew it was going bad, which actually a really bad trailer) .This is the worst in series, paired with number 5 in the series.
spyroskonst I liked the trailer when i saw it & was waiting to watch this movie. First of all mistakes have happened even before starting the film: the trailer itself shows you the best 2 minutes that occur almost at the end of the film (main road with cars smashing everywhere) so this kinda sucks. OK now, the movie is REALLY slow! I mean come on, if you have nothing to show us, make this movie shorter. Don't torture us (ex) with 2 whole minutes watching the girl going from the house to the toilet. And there are many similar shots. Also have you noticed the movie is called "Children of the corn"? Well, damn me if you see children for more that 10' & there is no corn field at all! Story makes no sense at all after half of this movie and even before that you'll be bored by its extremely slow pace, things happen just to happen, and acting is not good with the exception of the husband doing excellent job on his role. I was left with one question during & after watching this film: why the heck producers did you even released this? Didn't you saw it first? This movie is terrible and a disgrace to horror films.PROS: First part of the movie is clear enough of whats going on. Really good job by the "husband" actor. Liked the policeman's death & the smashed cars.CONS: The movie's existence & public release. First part of the movie is really boring, second part makes no sense by any means. No corns at all (are you serious???). Slow pace in many parts for no reason. Ending levels up the "no sense" phrase to "i want my 1:30 hour of my life back & first thing if the morning i will sue the producers".
Boloxxxi There has been a spate of movies of late it seems that want to take us back to the origins or beginning of a successful series. And so here is another. Before this, I only saw one in the series and I don't remember it. All I remember is that there was a bunch of grungy looking kids with no sense of humor and a corn field. Well in this movie they're still grungy-looking and trying their best to look evil.A man and woman are stranded out in the middle of nowhere because their car broke down. They see some telephone lines and reason that they could follow it to a phone. It takes them to a dusty old shack. They knock and world weary Billy Drago as the "Preacher" eventually comes to the door. At first they are refused help, and as she is storming off in anger and frustration while her boyfriend is trying his best to placate her, the woman mentions her pregnancy and the preacher --being a man of God-- takes pity and invites them in.Things are a bit strained once inside; the couple are trying to have polite conversation seated across from the Preacher but he's oddly uncommunicative. Just sits there thinking WHO KNOWS WHAT while the couple look at each other nervously, desperately trying to fill the silence. A younger woman enters at some point with an accent and we learn later that she's from the Ukraine and that it was kind of a mail-order-bride kind of situation. She takes the man to a phone in another room and charges him almost everything he had in his wallet to use it while imploring him not to tell the Preacher.After a meal where the Preacher continued his silent ways and it was time to go to their rooms the Preacher breaks his silence and tells the couple in essence to respect his privacy; that they shouldn't go wandering around beyond the outhouse in back. Thus warned, they repair to their room where they feel free to communicate the strangeness of their situation. Shortly the woman indicates that she needs to use the outhouse. At this point reader you're probably saying "Oh-oh!" Well your're right.Well she goes out and pauses in front of a dingy outhouse a moment, hesitant. Her business is pressing so she puts her reservations aside and goes in. After a nervous p!ss she exits. She hears something; a cry of some kind. She decides to play Nancy Drew and investigate. Later, she frantically reports the findings of her investigations to her boyfriend who seems a bit incompetent to me. He challenges her; wants to make sure there is no mistake. She's miffed and challenges him back. The guy relents as if the last thing he wants is for her to lose it. She sort of towers over him like Wonder Woman dressed in shorts and combat boots so I don't blame him.Things begin to happen; psychokinetic events. Possibly precipitated by Nancy Drew a.k.a Wonder Woman's investigations. The couple are in a panic and wanting answers. From the preacher they get something about an "evil seed" and that it wants the woman's baby. This movie is not particularly scary, or innovative, just so you know. Notwithstanding, it's not too bad. If it were a TV movie I'd give it a 7 or 8. A good movie if your're home in your socks and underwear, then. But as it is, I can only give it half that. Love, Boloxxxi.
