Children of the Corn VII: Revelation (2001)

Extremely Far From The Original Film - Bad.


They keep taking this CotC series and sending it another direction - something very far away from the original. This film basically is a film that has very, very little to do with the original. They already killed this film series with "The Gathering" (Part 4) and took it where no corn child has gone before in this 7th movie. UGH! Now I do understand why this film (Part 7) does NOT take place in Gaitlin. Part 3: Urban Harvest explains this (and it was not set in Gaitlin). Basically the corn seeds are spreading all over the world.

In "Revelation" why are these kids 'ghostly'? The original film there were NO 'ghostly' kids. Just real human kids who started listening to and was influenced by Isaac! It's "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" that is the supernatural element and Isaac's relationship & contact with "He".

Hey at least in this film the kids are wearing the older style clothing again (conservative religious look). If that counts for anything. I say this because I hated the way they were dressed in "Isaac's Return" - looking modern and way off base of the original story.

Anyway, if you view this film as just another supernatural creepy kid film then it's easier to enjoy than  to try to think of this one a part of the CotC series.

3/10
