Load of rubbish!!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

When hollywood produces 'sequels' that are nothing more than forgettable, politically cliche, and predictable to the letter plot / story / character arcs within the first 5 seconds of looking at the movie poster: -poor girl is victimized by white men -poor girl escapes evil white men -poor girl is sheltered by society into becoming a young woman, so she can learn to hate evil white men including her own father because HE IS EVIL -poor girl becomes 'strong independent' single mother by raising fatherless child, because the child's father is an evil white man -poor girl murders her fatherless child to protect herself, because as any good mother knows: she matters more than her offspring's safety.The reality is: this is a war. World war 3 is the war of feminists against equality: because we can't evolve past this 'us and them' bs in our own heads. Wake up people; the way past it is if they want to divide you from your own kind: THEM or ENEMY; if they want to unite you with other humans against the inhumanity of other humans (doing so in the name of justice?!?) - US or ALLY.

So disappointed. The movie went no where and was very confusing. It was such a waste of time and money.

Well, all I can really say is... it's better than the 2009 film. Also, why does every Stephen King film have many stereotypes? The black guy that stands out among the rest, rednecks, the sunglasses wearing deputy, religious freaks, and people among the town that are just jerks. For an amazing author such as Stephen King, his formula sometimes gets so redundant it makes me nauseous.The formula is simple, have some religious kids in corn, with farming tools, and they'll kill people. This film also mooches the formula of Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return, and I'll let you figure that out.This movie isn't as bad as some of the previous installments, but still, how many more of these movies are going to be made?

Here we are at Children of the Corn 9: Runaway. As a franchise, this series is a complete mess, with no sense of continuity, canon, or anything remotely interesting to keep viewers coming back. And if you are a fan, it must be crappy to see the powerful filmmakers constantly churning out crap with zero care. Parts 5 through 8 were made with little regard for anything, or anyone. And as if the last entry Genesis wasn't insultingly vague enough, we come to Runaway.The good: this film is much more competently made and acted than most of the entries in this series, especially the cheap Genesis. Shot composition, lighting, music, performances, surprisingly top notch. There is some slightly cheap CGI but nothing that looks like total crap, just the low budget showing. You came for gore? You'll be happy to know there is quite a bit of blood in this film. The bad: Starts off boring and kind of slow, and you wonder, where is this going?The ugly: you then realise, it's going nowhere.The plot concerns a young mother and her son. The mother, ably played by the pretty Marci Miller, belonged to the corn cult in Nebraska some time ago, but set fire to the corn and killed all of the kids and vanished. Since then, she's been a drifter with her son. She settles in the town of Luther, OK., gains a job as a mechanic, and tries to live her life with her son as normally as one can. However, the locals act strange and hostile, she sees visions of demonic kids (specifically an ethereal looking girl in a yellow dress), and random murders happen. Her boss, who initially takes pity on her, apparently only wants something else. And she kind of befriends a local waitress who acts a little too friendly. Don't worry, this doesn't add to much, despite all of this being the setup. As I said, this movie goes nowhere. There is no satisfying pay off, no climax. The plot starts off straightforward, boring... but straightforward... there is the odd gore scene sprinkled here and there... then it comes to a "what?" conclusion. It's more connected to the saga than the last few entries. Lots of mentions of Gatlin, He Who Walks Behind The Rows. The scenes in the cornfield are splendid and feel right. Too bad they don't happen more often. There are some stylish moments here and there (including a scene that I can only conclude is a modern take on the diner massacre from part 1), and as mentioned, the acting is all credible. The gore is good, nothing special though. But what the hell is it all for? In short, this films makes zero sense.Overall, it's a waste. You can have a well shot and well acted film, but when you have no plot, it doesn't added to anything.For the curious only.
