Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

MartinHafer This is a straight to video release--and it appears to have been made using a VHS camcorder. I love how the film is often out of focus and has a VERY slow zoom--which means the equipment was way out of date even back in 2004. I love how there are completely random and cruddy looking edits. I love how some of the camera-work through the corn maze causes motion sickness in the viewer! I love how every trick and gizmo on the camera is used--even if there is no rational reason for it! The bottom line is that any yahoo with no talent could have filmed this...and apparently one did. In fact, it really looks like someone's home movies.As for the story, I couldn't really discern much of one. It takes place around a corn maze but WHAT was happening and why...?! Mostly, it's just random running about and yelling. The acting is strictly the kids and friends of the filmmaker--with as much talent as you'd expect from people who in a home movie! The bottom line is that this looks FAR less professional than the movies of Ed Wood or even Tommy Wiseau's "The Room"! At least in some strange way they could be seen as movies or at least attempts at movies. "The Maize" is just home video and nothing more. While the film is currently #47 on IMDb's dubious Bottom 100 list, this seems like a travesty, as in comparison, at least 97 of the films on the list look more professional. It should be #1 or #2.

cowofdeath If you are looking for the feel-good hit of the summer, Dark Harvest 2 might just be your ticket. The production values of this movie are extremely high (looks as if it were filmed with a Sony Handicam and edited using iMovie), especially the sound effects -- they sound straight off of a "Spooky Halloween Sounds" CD! The scarecrow from the cover, although he doesn't appear in the movie and otherwise has no relevance, is terrifyingly realistic! From beginning to end, you'll watch as a man aimlessly searches for his daughters through a, pun intended, MAIZE! At the climactic ending of the movie you'll see, well...you'll have to watch for yourself.What I'm really trying to say here is, don't come within 1000 yards of this movie. I rented it because I thought it would be a campy sort of "Troll 2" funny, but it's not. I cried after I watched this movie, because I realized I had spent money on it (and I found the $4 I spent on renting it). I actually fell asleep for 20 minutes and still knew what was going on.

swindellj If you want to enjoy the money you would spend to rent this money, go buy a bag of ice and watch it melt. That's more entertaining than this movie. Bill Cowell, shame on you. Or if you wanna see this movie plot, go in a corn field, bring two of the most annoying little girls you can find, run around for a couple hours having the girls scream as loud as possible. Then send me the couple bucks you woulda spent.I enjoyed the first Dark Harvest, after watching the sequel, I'm going to cry myself to sleep.

Alecia (rockangel72) The idea for the movie wasn't too bad: a horror film shot in a corn maze on Halloween. The bad part was the shoddy camera work, the ten million shots of puddles and corn, and the hour and a half long walk this guy took in the maze. Oh, I'm sorry, the "maize." I picked up this movie because it reminded me of a corn maze near where I live, and I thought it was a cool idea for a movie. But taking everything into consideration, it seems that your average Joe could take the same idea and run much further with it. Bill Cowell's acting wasn't too bad, in fact, I would say it was pretty good. But the lack of talent from his co-stars didn't help his efforts. Here's to hoping his next movie will be easier to swallow.
