Don't listen to the negative reviews

A lot of fun.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

When a woman goes in search of her grandmother in a run down soon to be condemned apartment block she comes across the titular children and is pulled into "He who walks behind the rows" latest scheme.The Children Of The Corn franchise was never exactly great but at least it has character, it had originality and the further in it has gone the more convoluted the plot has become and now it doesn't even resemble its humble beginnings.The premise is dreadful, the script is lacking and with the exception of Michael Ironside (Who is barely in it) the cast aren't exactly doing much to improve it.Not the worst of the franchise but certainly close this is a further example that this is being milked into obscurity and needs laying to rest before it becomes another Witchcraft (1988).The Good:Michael IronsideThe Bad:Messy across the boardCashgrab nothing moreThings I Learnt From This Movie:The Children Of The Corn have 1 weakness, video games!

The seventh film in the Children of the Corn series takes us to a soon- to-be condemned building where our main character Jamie's grandmother lives. Jamie goes to visit her grandma, but finds the building she lives in a mess. And her grandmother is missing. She decides to stay at the building to wait and see if she comes back, but finds some strange things going on. There are two creepy looking kids that are always appearing all over the place. And since this is a 'Children of the Corn' film, seeing creepy little kids is never a good thing. Eventually we find some secrets out about Jamie's grandmother, and then it's up to Jamie to battle an evil force trying to kill her.This seventh instalment in a LONG drawn out series is not all that good. I remember it being better than 'Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return', but it fails to match some of the earlier sequels. It feels cheap, the production of it all just feels like it was made on a low budget. And it likely was! The acting wasn't all that bad which could've been an issue. Claudette Mink was good as the lead character Jamie. A problem with this film and the one before it is that it fails to bring not only scares, but entertainment. COTC 1-5 had some really good moments, even if some of those movies weren't very good. This one just felt rushed and some of the plot was confusing.I'd recommend this to 'Children of the Corn' fans only. It's a good enough entry if you are a fan of the series, but fails in comparison to some of the other sequels.5/10

The very first scenes of the movie was good,The start of ghe movie kids were a bit creepy, which was chilling atmosphere at the start of the movie.As the movie get going, they lose it and they also lose me as well.The deaths in this movie, were really silly and poorly done, there was no blood or gore in any of them.The acting from the adults was really bad but the creepy kids were descent but there laughing got really annoying quick!The ending, with those effect were really bad as-well. this notv the worst in series but not far from it!I was only paying half attention to it! and looking at clock few times.3 out of 10

Children of the Corn (CotC) scripts may have never been literary masterpieces, but for some reason, CotC 6 and 7 have scripts that seem like very early drafts--or even as if they were only partially complete and the directors decided to just wing it for the rest of the film. It's a shame because both films otherwise had the potential to be quite good.For CotC7, a relatively oblique path was chosen (probably to the chagrin of those predisposed to purism)--it's more or less a "haunted house" film. This was promising to me, as by the time you get around to the seventh entry in a series, a change of pace is refreshing, and haunted house (really, haunted anything) films are probably my favorite horror subgenre.For the first 45 minutes or so, CotC7 was satisfying to me. In fact, for the first 10 or 15 minutes, it seemed reminiscent of the more recent 1408 (2007), which I loved. It had a good setting, a good premise, good atmosphere, creepy scenes, a bit of eye candy, and even a bit of odd humor.But right about the halfway mark, it starts to unravel. Mysterious characters (many supernatural) are never explained, and they keep growing in number. A couple scenes featured supernatural characters that don't cohere with the rest of the film--for example, one has a zombie or adult burn victim. The film starts getting choppy, and it begins to feel more like a series of pointless and disconnected "scary" set-pieces.Worse, there was a stable of interesting human characters who were never explored enough--we're just teased with them and then they're usually quickly dispatched with relatively generic horror film deaths. And the crux of the story--Jamie's (Claudette Mink) missing grandmother--remains murky through the end. The biggest tragedy is that the ball was dropped. With just a bit more work on the script--another two or three drafts, maybe--this could have been one of the better entries of this uneven series.
