Rating<\/strong>: **<\/p>\n

\u00a0I wonder, does He Who Walks Behind the Rows work like The Great Pumpkin from the classic Peanuts Halloween cartoon? As I\u2019m sure you recall, the Great Pumpkin chooses the most sincere pumpkin patch from which to rise on Halloween night and delivers toys to all the children. Does He Who Walk Behind the Rows choose the most sincere cornfield to inhabit? It\u2019s the only logical explanation as to why he shows up in an Omaha cornfield in Children of the Corn: Revelation<\/strong>, the seventh installment in the horror series that shows no sign of ending soon despite being exiled to the direct-to-video realm after the second movie. My next question is why is there a cornfield next to an abandoned, soon-to-be-demolished building? That one defies both logic and explanation but whatever, it is what it is.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In this so-so sequel, a woman named Jamie (Mink, Firehouse Dog) comes to the aforementioned building looking for her grandmother who hasn\u2019t answered or returned any of her calls for several days. She\u2019s not in her apartment and none of her neighbors know her whereabouts. The local police won\u2019t be any help either. Jamie decides to stick around for a while and look into her disappearance herself. There\u2019s some weird stuff going on in and around the building like the pair of creepy kids (Hobbs and Ballard) who keep hanging around and a preacher (Ironside, Total Recall) who obviously knows what\u2019s going on. It has to do with the building being located on the very spot where a religious cult led by a boy preacher (Smith) took their own lives by setting their tent on fire.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I give the director Guy Magar (Stepfather III) points for trying. I told you the reason the weird stuff is happening. I didn\u2019t tell you what the dead preacher\u2019s end game is. I figured it out early on but it\u2019s still kind of cool. Sadly, Children of the Corn: Revelation<\/strong> isn\u2019t all that gory. It has one cool kill scene. A woman is attacked by evil cornstalks in her bathtub. Also, a man\u2019s severed head is seen sitting in a cooler in the corner store. There\u2019s also a scene where a foul-mouthed, ill-tempered man in a wheelchair is pushed down a stairwell. I\u2019m just saying, there should have more blood.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Like the other DTV Children of the Corn sequels, the acting is no great shakes. I don\u2019t even see the point of commenting on such matters when it comes to these movies. Mink is okay as the main character. Kyle Cassie (Deadpool) plays the cop who initially brushes Jamie off but has a change of heart and comes to her aid. Crystal Lowe (Final Destination 3) plays a stripper named Tiffany who also lives in the building. She\u2019s very easy on the eyes. It\u2019s the first nude scene I can recall seeing in a Children of the Corn movie. Ironside is only in it for a few minutes (less than 5). It\u2019s like the makers just wanted one familiar face in it so people will rent it based on name recognition. Children of the Corn: Revelation<\/strong> isn\u2019t too bad a movie; it has a good idea or two. The storyline is decent. The special effects aren\u2019t bad either. Like its immediate predecessor, it\u2019s as good a movie as one can expect from a DTV horror sequel.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
