Reader Reviews
To be honest, I rented this out of sheer desperation a couple of years ago, having seen virtually every other horror movie for rent in town (this was before everybody started stocking a dozen new horror titles a month, a welcome development). I'd seen 2 or 3 of the earlier installments and not been impressed and given up on the series. I'm not trying to bash them, I know alot of people really love the whole series, but the original and the first sequel just didn't do anything for me personally. I'm not sure whether I even saw "Urban Harvest" or not - I guess I couldn't have cared for it too much if I did. But I took a chance on this one, breaking my own rule of Never skipping ahead in a series (3, 4 and 5 weren't available) and was certainly glad I did. Very few times have I gone into a movie with such low expectations and been so totally blown away in surprise. "Children Of The Corn 666: Isaac's Return" is an absolute treasure find! It involves a young woman in search of her past and ending up in the farm town central to the series, notorious for events that happened there previously. The town's cult of children are apparantly in remission, maintaining a facade of normalcy in a community where adults now live as well, the children of the cult biding their time and waiting for some kind of promised dark messiah. I don't really know how closely this fits into the overall series continuity; after seeing this I decided to see all the other chapters but have only seen the follow-up, "Revelation", a good movie but not on par with this one and quite unconnected to it. The previous chapters can't be found for rent and I've already decided I'm going to have to eventually buy them sight unseen (the only reason I haven't done so yet is there are about 500 other movies on my personal 'waiting-to-be-bought' list) but haven't seen them yet, so I don't know if everything fits together or not. A soaring high point of the movie is a romantic angle which I won't go into too much here, occuring as it does later in the movie. It includes one tremendously sexy scene that achieves its appeal not by being especially overt (not that I'm opposed to other, more openly sexy scenes in different movies), but through the high romanticism and beautiful tenderness. And yes, the female character's limited clothing in the scene certainly doesn't hurt things either, although it would have been gorgeous even without that added benefit. Intelligent, suspenseful, and well-acted, this is highly recommended for either longtime fans of the series or those who (like me) never were into it before. I might even give the original another try someday and see if there's something there I missed. My only grievance is the ending - this isn't giving anything away, but it could have gone in either of two directions and I would have preferred the road they didn't take. That's purely subjective and doesn't mean the final minutes weren't just as well realized as the rest of the movie. I hope there's a direct followup to this entry with the same characters - the next sequel was a totally different path and different people. Still good, but this one is awesome.
