- TriviaThe film was rushed into production by Dimension Films because the studio was about to lose the rights to the Children of the Corn series, the last film Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) having been released 10 years prior to this one (the Children of the Corn (2009) TV film was not made by Dimension Films and was instead another adaption of the original novel).
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits of the main cast is another scene.
- ConnectionsEdited from Bad Boys II (2003)
Featured review
I have to admit, I haven't followed the Children of the corn series up close, so I can't tell you, if this actually makes sense in the series. Than again Dimension doesn't seem to care, if they put a movie out there that isn't that connected to previous entries in a successful series (see Hellraiser for that). But this movie is nicely shot, has some interesting twists (though you can see them coming even before the scriptwriter put them down on paper).
In the end this doesn't add much to the horror genre, has the typical erratic character behavior (it's the grown ups who act like children, doing stuff they've been told not to do). The ending is weird too. You wonder why a certain character would accept "help" like that. But until that point you will probably have shut down your brain, just to save it. Good thinking ...
