When I first saw that they made another children of the corn film,I just said it's going to be a repeat of the first. I was wrong. The movie was awsome and almost as better as the first. The cast of the movie,was wonderful. Even the girl who play lacy,now she look like a wonderful person to work with on the movie. Also my hat off to the director David price who did a good job with the final sacrifice,his work,and any ideas that he had on the film with the writers on the scenes were great.

Children of the corn 2 is excellent. Way better than the other 6 films. From start to finish this movie takes you on a ride. The bingo scene was great. And when the children chained the door in the church meeting. That was a unforgettable scene. Christie Clark was very hot in that movie as well. This was very close to being the best horror film of the 1990's.

Children of the Corn II came out 8 years after the original, and beckons the question: Why was this sequel even made? Barely having any significane to the original film, this sloppy sequel stars a bunch of people that no one cares about. This makes for a very lousy and UN-suspenseful film, because when you don't like a character, you hope they die and aren't too worried or scared when they do. However, the film is not completely lost. It has a much faster pace than the original and plenty of blood and guts to satisfy any horror fan. But if you really want something scary/entertaining, Children of the Corn II is not for you.

This is my absolute favorite out of all of the COTC movies (I'm not even going to bother to count IV, which had nothing to do with the others, and didn't even mention He Who Walks Behind The Rows). The continuity from the first to this one was great and the kids were the last great group. Of course, the story isn't 100% coherent and there are a couple of questions I have such as: So, did the corn really cause some sort of delusions? I don't think so but you never know. What the heck was with the ending with Redbear dressed as a wise man and all? Was Micah HWWBTR, was he possessed by a part of HWWBTR, or was he just controlled by him? Ah, well. Anyway, despite my questions, Micah is my absolute favorite leader, and Mordechai is a good counterpart to the Malachai character in the first one. Damn those Outlanders, why do they always have to get involved!! Micah could've gone all the way!!

I have seen all of the movies in this series. My mom had suggested renting one one day so I said sure and we did. This one was the last one I saw (I saw them in a mixed up order) but one of the best. I wasn't planning on seeing it, thinking it was just like the rest, but I am a huge fan of Christie Clark (who played Lacey--the girl who was running through the cornfield), but I found that this one had also developed the story even more with Micah and the rest. It was interesting and the killings were great!

Children of the Corn 1 and 2 are great films, despite what some say. This one is even better.

It provides a lot more plot and MUCH better acting, along with tons of characters and subplots. Oh yeah, and the amount of blood needed to satisfy horror fans. Simply a wonderful film. Buy it, its worth a lot more.

God, I love this kind of stuff. Basically, Children of the Corn II is cheap, gory, and loads of fun. It's also well-made, too... the effects are pretty good (not anything amazing but they more then get the job done). This film contains buckets of blood, gotta love that nose-bleed scene! 'Final Sacrifice' also contains a great score by Daniel Licht and has a fairly morbid sense of humor (What a World!). Overall, the complete package for a great time at the movies... dripped in blood, of course.

After what seemed many months without something worthy being released in the horror genre comes the long awaited dvd release of Children of The Corn II: The Final Sacrifice. All other movies in the series has been released but for some reason this was always missing.

Anyways, if you like or watched the series, then you already know the premise. I enjoyed the lead child and this had some very creative deaths. I really never enjoyed this series but this was diffently the best out of the whole series. Cant wait for this one.

Update: I purchased this dual dvd, along with Children of The Corn 3, at Wal Mart for five bucks on March 31. I was surprised that they already had a copy of it. The main menu has annoying music and just the two films and chapter selection. Nothing really speical at all. Anyways, I have over 1000 dvds and have no idea why full screen or wide screen matter. Wide screen has black bars but I see no difference. I know somemone is willing to explain this to me. Anyways, the picture quality is good but diffently not remastered. It's does look like it's ripped off a vhs cassette. Its still a good movie and well worth adding to your collection.

Who can ever forget the gloomy classic "Children of the corn" with its dark, beautiful, and gloomy melody and of course...it WILL make you laugh...because it promises more guffaws then terror. Micah, the new leader which is a shame for the Isaac fans, is showing his world from his eyes...but with a demonic demon possessing him and trying to regain followers which loses the almost flawless purpose of the film. It takes a turn here, as all Stephen King films usualy do and it is actually a "Disease" that Micah and the children are being possessed by, and He who Walks Behind The Rows does play a small role...note, small role. Same point to the original as the novel where Stephen King gave out his rough draft to the masses. A few reviewers here say-well a few who watched it and me-that COTC 2 was one of the few films in the history of COTC lore that was intelligent(ish), innovative, dark, and moody, with addictive dialogue, dark melodies, and so-so screenwriting, and from us, got the commercial success that it got. I consider this COTC classic as the best example of brilliant and Macabre movie getting the justice and recognition that it somehow deserves! I give it a two big thumbs up!

Whether or not you will like this movie is depending. I, personally, love cheesy special effect and just decent enough to not make your brain expload on contact acting. I love cheesy horror movies. If you are not a fan of corny movies, you probably wont like it... but, as far as the movie ITSELF goes...

Final Sacrifice is the sequel to the original 1984 Children of the Corn movie (which is based on a short story by Stephan King in the book Night Shift). It begins some time after the events of CotC 1 (though you don't have to watch the first movie to understand the second); police men came into Gatlin and found all the bodies of the dead parents, now they are taking the children to Hemingford, a town 19 miles away. The film centers around a disfuntional father and son pair. John, the father, is a reporter who brough Danny, the son, with him to get the story of the corn children to save his failing career. Once in Hemmingford; they meet Micah (note for the girls: he's a serious hotty), the new (possessed) leader of the children, do their little investigation thang, find love, almost get killed, and save the day as they ALWAYS do in CotC films. This movie has gorey and VERY original death scenes, including my favorite ever where one person has a nosebleed to death (~.^) and many others that may make you giggle, if you're not over sensative about that kind of stuff.

So, I would recommend this movie to any fan of CotC or corny horror flicks. I would not recommend this movie to anyone in the academy. Let's leave it at that, a'ight?
