Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. Children of the Corn IV is better. But still this is a great movie. It is one of the scariest movies from 1998. Children of the Corn 666 is better. But still this is a great movie.
gavin6942 Six college students take a wrong turn and find themselves lost in a strangely deserted rural town... only to discover that this deceptively quiet place hides a murderous cult of children controlled by evil forces! The film features a young Eva Mendes' in her first movie. If nothing else, it seems that the "Children of the Corn" franchise was good for launching starlets' careers. Mendes follows in the footsteps of Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts.We have some great roles filled by Kane Hodder (as a bartender), Fred Williamson (a sheriff) and David Carradine (a prophet and savior). I think Stephen King appears as a drunk guy...I am still confused how this series was allowed to carry on for so long, but at least this one is saved by some good cameos and a fine special effects shot of a splitting head with a fireball inside. Totally did not see that coming.
Boba_Fett1138 The Children of the Corn-series is by no means a great series but still I never quite understood the extremely low ratings all of the movie received here on IMDb. Surely there are far worse genre series and movies to watch out there, though I also must say that this movie is the least one of the series that I've seen so far.Basically the movie adds too little to the long running series. There are no real surprises, when you've seen one or more movies out of the series already. With its story the movie also makes very little attempt to impress. It tries to be more different with its approach and characters this time.Horror movies always have been very popular with teenagers. It's also the reason why there are lots of movies out there that feature teenage characters in the lead roles. Those movies however are also rarely among the best that the genre has to offer. This Children of the Corn entry also felt to need to step in on this horror movie making trend, by throwing in a couple of high school student characters into the Children of the Corn franchise. It's all pretty pointless, since it adds so little new or interesting to the franchise and as a matter of fact only brings the movie down even more.Horror-wise this movie is also obviously lacking. There are only some decent looking effects and gore that can be seen as a redeeming quality. However not quite enough to safe the movie its horror really. Not that any of the Children of the Corn movies have even been really scary or effective with its horror or concept, with the exception of "Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice".It's always fun to see how these now famous actors pop up in this horror-movies early in their careers. Guess they don't often want to be remembered at it, as would be the case with Eva Mendes with this movie. Here whole character and her subplot just isn't really powerful or interesting enough to work out. Still I wished she was more in the movie because I definitely preferred her above Stacy Galina but this was probably always because of her looks of course. Also Kane Hodder and David Carradine show up in some small roles and also they feel pretty pointless but this is probably also due to the overall story, which just seemed pretty pointless in general.All in all, another really pointless sequel within the Children of the Corn franchise, that really seemed to run out of good ideas pretty early on in the series already. So do these movies really make that much money to justify all those sequels that got released to it?4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
fedor8 Dull and dull-witted entry. Nothing happens for entire stretches. The main evil kid is played by an Alfred E. Neuman look-alike contest winner, hence more suited to the role of the nerdy kid everyone picks on in school than of a menacing cult leader. Alexis Arquette is in this one, too: one of the most obvious warning signs just how bad Hollywood's degeneration through in-breeding can get. Alexis has shoulders that measure about 6 cm from one to the other, and they are downward-slumped as if wanting to escape his entire being by burying themselves in the corn-field with the rest of the cult's victims. It would be a hard answer to the question as to who is more nerdy, dumb-looking, in-bred and just plain ugly - Alexis or his even more annoying brother David Arquette. The female cast isn't any better
