Waste of time

Load of rubbish!!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The final film to end a decent series that doesn't go out with a bang, but a whisper.Once again they bring it back to the city, an apartment building actually, as a woman searches for her grandmother and finds children growing corn.What made this a disappointment was the repetition, no strong villains and the story is all over the place. It wants to be a children of the corn film, but feels more like silent hill. The grandmother is a cult member who got away even though it seemed nearly impossible in the other films and has died of natural causes. There are only one mention of he who walks behind the Rowe and hardly any good suspense or death scenes to get excited for.The ending fizzles out with a deluxe mechanism of the grandmother vanquishing the evil spirits and saying goodbye to her granddaughter and one fan who's has enough.You couldn't beat a diamond out of a coal here and it was a lousy way to go.Children of the corn needs to rest in piece with five out of four good films and call it a day.4/10

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

"Children of the Corn: Revelation" is much better than expected for this kind of film.**SPOILERS**Searching for her grandmother, Jaime Lovell, (Claudette Mink) arrives in a small-town apartment complex, only to find her missing and suspects the worst. With the locals offering no help, except for neighbor Tiffany, (Crystal Lowe) she goes after the few pieces of evidence she has that something's wrong, eventually bringing Det. Armbrister, (Kyle Cassie) onto the case. While searching together, they start to piece together the events, finding out that she was heavily involved in a fanatical cult years ago as a child that has come back taking revenge for the past, forcing her to race to stop them before they can carry out their evil plans.The Good News: This here wasn't that bad at all and actually had some good stuff to it. One of the biggest pluses is the film's collection of rather impressive and freaky collaboration sequences throughout. The first big one is the attack on the one victim in the bathtub, which is great with the corn-stalks appearing through the bubbles to shoot out and wrap around the clueless victim, in itself an impressive visual but with the added bonus of it supplying nudity and a fun-looking kill as well. The quick flash-cut visions out in the cornfields are a lot of fun, especially with the knowledge of them appearing right below the window having a big impact on what's going on. That it's always hard to tell what's featured during them is another factor, and the glimpses offered aren't that bad at all and some are downright freaky. The big one to these, though, is the main dream sequence where the whole back-story is spelled out quite nicely. From the events that show what happened to the grandmother to the somewhat suspenseful chase up the twisting, darkened stairway that leads to a very creepy denouement reveal, it's all a very fun scene and definitely gets the most out of these types of scenes. The few good kills in here are still fun to watch, especially the aforementioned-bathtub scene but also a really enjoyable scene where a victim in a wheelchair is forced down a hallway and over the balcony, the whole unit falling down to the ground several stories below. The last plus is the film's final half, which has a lot going on. With the full-extent of the plot recognized, this just moves along quite spectacularly, offering up scene after scene of the cult getting close to those around them or knocking them off, as the elevator encounter proves considerably. With the resolution of the burning stoves and the last-ditch effort by the possessed corn-stalks coming into play quite nicely, these here are all incredibly fun scenes that make the finale really blow right by and feel like a fun film. All of these here make the film watchable.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot of stuff here that didn't work. One of the main flaws was the film's constant child's laughter playing throughout the whole film. It got off as a rather nice tactic that makes the children appear as constant forces within the town, only as time went on it grew irritating to hear the exact same thing playing in the background of nearly every scene within the apartment complex. Considering just about all of the film takes place there, this grew to be a constant irritant and wore out it's welcome quite early. The very boring beginning doesn't help all that much, as this one just spends a large amount of time just showing her walking around the apartments meeting everyone and trying to get the information needed, but it's just not that interesting the way it plays out. This is just a painfully dull experience and not at all that interesting, since it just consists of her meeting up with people who have no impact in the story and then going on to someone else to get the same thing. Rather than trying to make it seem like it's a conspiracy at work, it just drags the beginning out and could've been done in a recap or montage effort since most, if not all of them serve no purpose later and are next seen killed off-screen anyway, rendering their inclusion pointless. The last flaw is the question regarding the confusion over who the priest character is. It's not explained at all who he is, what his connection is, and the only amount of information gathered is that he's here to warn her, despite this coming at the end of the film and his unspoken presence seen throughout. It's quite confusing, but these are the film's only flaws.The Final Verdict: With a lot of good parts to it and only a few minor flaws, this here isn't bad at all and really surprising how good it is. Give this one a shot if you're into these kinds of films or if you've come this far in the series and want to finish them off, while those that aren't fans should ignore it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity

I've seen the whole series and this was the worst of the whole thing. The problem is it's so new age based and it ruins the creepy affect of the other films. I really didn't like it. I've seen a lot or horror movies and this just stunk. I really enjoyed all of the films before it but the way this was designed bugged me! It was an apartment building with corn fields right next to it. This movie was an insult to Stephen King's work.
