Summary: A good sequel!
Review: BACK OF THE BOX:
Based on the chilling story, 'Children of the Corn' by Stephen king, REVELATION is the next shocking chapter in this ever-poplar series of sspence-thrillers! When calls to her eccentric grandmonther go unanwered, Jamie Lowell is shocked to discover that her grandmother's last known adress is a condemned tenement building overrunned by ncontrolled children! But as Jamie slowly uncovers the truth behind her grandmother's mysterios dissapearance, she merely disturbs a powerful evil that now wishes to destroy Jamie as well!

When I saw this movie for $4.00 on VHS at my local thrift store, I took it home and expected the worst. I popped in the tape and was amazed. This sequel had almost nothing to do with the original, bt it was a great film! The special effects cold have been a bit better, but it is still a good movie! But only rent or buy it if you are a DIE-HARD COTC fan!

Summary: Not bad !
Review: First of all, this is No. 7 of the series and you don't have to watch any of the previous series. The acting of all the children are bad but the leading actress (Claudette Mink) is OK and she looks lovely in this movie as well. Michael Ironside co-star as a priest (appear total less than 5 minutes). The plot is about the same as the others from the series. About a group of children who are possessed and started killing people who live in run-down apartment building in the middle of nowhere.

The DVD is ok. The video quality is fine. The Dolby surround is below average as not much surround activity, the sound comes mostly from the center channel. If you are fans of the series, I suggest you wait until they lower the price as it is too high for a movie of this quality.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Better than 4, not that that says much.
Review: I just finished watching COTC 7 and I must say...well, I'm torn. It's a good b-grade horror movie, but it just isn't very, well, Children of the Corn-y. I've seen every one of them and this one doesn't *feel* like any of the other ones. I liked 6 much better and I had really hoped that this would do something like that. There are a lot of things that were never elaborated on in the series (the two babies in 5 and 6 being a couple) that could have been. I don't get why they chose to invent a new leader and stuff. There is already so much mythology that I don't think they needed it. Definitely see it if you're a fan of the series. If not, well then it'll probably be just a stupid, low-grade horror movie to you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: what the *****
Review: I mean this movie had NOTHING to do with any of the rest. I just hated that little girl in the movie her laugh was so fake.All the kids said was "Kill" Also, in the series, such as COTC 3, the leaders talked alot giving their thoughts. I really enjoyed that. This movie really disopointed me. I only liked the one part when Tiffany was taking a bath and that little boy walked in and shes like "Get out of here!" and he put seeds in the bath and the cornfield sprouted out and drowned her. It was pretty funny, especially when that little kid walked in on her. Also, the kids didnt even have names! What a disopintement!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not really knowing the rating
Review: Its pretty bad that Dimension films wants a seventh Children Of The Corn. Isaac's Return was pretty good but revalation? The story goes that a pair of FBI agents track down a serial killer to a small town, and find out about the town's children and their evil cult. Another sequel dozzer and if ya ask me its not worth watching

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Is this truly the end?
Review: No other author in recent memory has had as much consistent success selling books as Stephen King. For roughly three decades the Maine writer churned out book after book, each one selling more and more copies. He's a world unto himself, the lucky fellow! He's so successful that he could throw out his pens, put away his typewriters, bury his word processor six feet under, never write another word in his life, and STILL have enough money to wallpaper the Great Wall of China five times over. In many respects, it's Stephen King's world and the rest of us are just living in it. But, and this is a gigantic but, an enormous number of metaphysically bad films based on his novels threaten to put a serious dent in his legacy. We all know the good ones, the ones that not only scared audiences stiff but also helped propel King's career to even greater heights. "Carrie" is probably the best example, followed by "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Dead Zone." These are wonderful, magical films that one can watch again and again without wearying of them. Then there are the rest: the truly wretched refuse that reminds one of dental plaque or the junk that washes up on the shores of a filthy river. Welcome to the Children of the Corn franchise.

"Children of the Corn 7: Revelation" is apparently the end of the road (row?) for one of the most unlikely horror film franchises in history. Once again, another hapless female falls prey to the malevolent corn cult and its evil machinations. On this outing the individual in question is Jamie (Claudette Mink), a young professional who heads to the Midwest to check up on her ailing grandmother at Hampton Arms, a condemned structure housing a host of miscreants and other assorted characters. Grandma disappears immediately before Jamie arrives at the building, so the young lady decides to stay in the old woman's apartment in an effort to discover the causes of the disappearance. Jamie runs into a lot of opposition to her various inquiries right from the start. Armbrister (Kyle Cassidy), a cop at the police station, initially doesn't take her missing person's report seriously. A visit to a few of the neighbors in the building doesn't pan out at first, either. The resident stoner Jerry (Troy Yorke) is so out of it an a regular basis that he couldn't tell Jamie what time it is let alone what happened to her grandmother. Then there is Tiffany (Crystal Lowe), a woman who works at the local gentleman's club, who is friendly but generally unable to help. An old guy rolling around the hallways in a wheelchair shouting incoherently is, sad to say, just as unhelpful.

Needless to say, events occur that soon shed light on Jamie's quandary. She glimpses silent kids moving around the building and the neighborhood, children who never say a word but just look ominous. She also hears children laughing when no one is around. Too, the discovery of a picture in grandma's bible offers a cryptic clue, as does the presence of a bizarre room in the basement filled with corn guarded by a strange man with guns and a heart condition. Then tenants start perishing: Jerry takes a header off the roof and Tiffany takes a final, fatal bath. The children even silence wheelchair guy. As a way to announce that a tenant has moved to the other side, cornhusk wreathes appear on apartment doors. What the heck is going on at Hampton Arms? Thanks to Jamie and Armbrister, a story emerges that provides a few answers. Some seventy-five years ago or so, a corn cult lead by child preacher Abel (Sean Smith) perished in a huge tent fire on the ground that is now Hampton Arms. Jamie's grandmother was the only survivor, and it appears that all of these children are actually ghosts come back to claim grandma's soul. Or something like that. Now Jamie and the cop must try to destroy the building in order to send these corn worshipping kiddies back to who knows where.

This movie doesn't make much sense. I'll buy the idea of the corn cult coming back to claim Jamie's grandmother, but I don't understand why they felt the need to kill all of the other residents. Why do such a thing? Hampton Arms is a condemned building that will fall under the wrecking ball at some point in the future, so why worry about who lives there? Are these ghosts operating under a strict timetable that requires them to clear the area RIGHT NOW or face some supernatural punishment? For that matter, Jamie's grandmother wasn't exactly a spring chicken. Why not just wait for her to pass away from natural causes and then reclaim her soul? The answer is probably an easy one: the script says the kids have to come back and kill so the movie can show gory murders. Problem is, the movie isn't that gory. The only memorable scene involves a storekeeper's head sitting in a freezer. This movie spends more time building the characters and trying to imbue the picture with creepy atmosphere, with decidedly mixed results. "Revelation" does give us Michael Ironside in what amounts to a totally useless cameo as a priest investigating the corn cult.

Extras on the disc consist of trailers for parts four, five, and six of "Children of the Corn," "Mimic 2," "Dracula 2000," "Halloween: H20," and "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers." Perhaps "Revelation" is a fitting end to the "Children of the Corn" franchise, but the only revelation I received after watching this film is that the whole series should have ended much sooner. I wondered as the credits rolled if this was truly the end. Never say never when dealing with a story from Stephen King.

Summary: Worst of the series
Review: Of all the COTC sequels, this one by far is the worst of the series. It doesnt even have anything to do with the other ones, besides a brief mention of gatlin and "He who walks behind the rows" but its just a very brief mention and doesnt really tie into the horrible plot. Also let me say that I,m not strict when rating horror movies, I have liked a lot of them, while others hated them, but I dont see how anyone could watch this movie all the way through without falling asleep or simply dying of total boredom. I mean the only words that the kids use through the first hour of the film is "Kill" over and over, It really gets annoying, and the death scenes are also very weak with little to no gore, The sequels before had very graphic, bloody murders. Check this one out only if your a DIE HARD FAN of the series.
Rated R for mild violence,language, some nudity and drug use
