Summary: one word describes this movie: Terrible!
Review: i'd like to say that this franchise just gets better with each installment, but it's simply not true! the children of the corn series peaked with the fourth one, but went completely to hell with the fifth! i don't know what the makers of this film were trying to do, but whatever it was they failed miserably! perhaps they were trying something new, trying to break away from what had been going on in the first four. haven't you ever heard of the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? i just didn't care if any of the "good guys" lived or died, there's just no connection with any of the characters that is necessary. the plot was predictable and the few twists that were put in just came out of no where and seemed to be put in just to take up time. and when did "he who walks behind the rows" become the next david koresh? last i checked, "he who walks behind the rows" was supposed to be a haunting, scary creature, not a laughable psychopath! if you rent this movie, you will be sorely disappointed. get one of the first four, they will suit your needs better!

Summary: Decent but but not needed.
Review: It goes back and forth in this series. it goes from good(the first) to horrible(2nd) to bad(3) back to good, then down to decent. This movie doesnt follow the series at all. Yeah it involves "he who talks behind the rows." but what too much is changed in this one. For one, There is a adult leader. Yeah he isnt the main leader but still he is one of the leaders in the movie. second, why is it that there are plenty of adults running around through the movie. If i watched the first and 2nd correctly, the whole belief they had was that they needed to get rid of the adults.Yet in this one, there is a whole town full of people. Also, help me understand the point of having a goofy ... looking actor like the one they had to play the main girls b/f. I almost went nuts watching that .... crack stupid jokes and what is with his half goatee. Would anyone out there really decide to kill themselfs just to kill 2 of the kids. Imean come on. he stole the weapons from them and still decided to blow himself up. I will say that it got 3 stars from me cuz the story behind it is original and isnt just lets do the same thing as the first but with more killing and blood (COTC 2). The movie follows a group of college students whose car goes into a ditch and they have to go into town to get help. they miss the bus and decide to stay in some creepy abandoned house and thats when it all starts. And also, if these people are college kids, are we really suppost to believe that the girl that offers herself to the monster is only 18? cuz she said she was. If you like this series then watch this movie cuz it is one to see and keeps ur attention and is fun to watch.Just a warning though. If you are into this series just to see a large number of killings and blood then this one u wont like. There arent too many people killed (maybe 5 or 6) so be ready.

Summary: Okay this is the second best COTC movie, after #2........
Review: Its about 6 college students bumping into a bad town with a bunch of messed up kids that worship some "HE WHO WALKS BEYOND THE CLOUDS?" The people that have seen this movie know what I'm talking about. This movie is not scary, if you want true COTC horror, I suggest CHILDREN OF THE CORN II: THE FINAL SACRIFICE. The scariest one of them all. I have one more thing to say. "I gave them.......love, I gave them ...........family, and I gave them purpoths!" HAHAHAHA Watching David Carradine, saw purpose is the best thing about this film.

Summary: The last watchable entry
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 5: Fields of Terror" is the archetypical low budget horror film instantly recognizable to fans of the genre. Its got a group of young people leaving their urban element to head out into the countryside, a few recognizable actors who once made bigger films but now must scramble for a paycheck, and an up and comer who would move on to better things. Allison (Stacy Galina), Greg (Alexis Arquette), Tyrus (Greg Vaughan), and Kir (Eva Mendez) take a trip to the sticks in order to attend a funeral. Also going along, but in a different car, are Lazlo (Ahmet Zappa) and his girlfriend Charlotte (Angela Jones). Tragedy suddenly erupts when Lazlo and his significant other wander into a cornfield and meet their maker at the hands of a bunch of kids armed with sharp farm implements. The other four kids don't know about this incident, but they do learn about the kids after Greg crashes his car in a ditch. Ezekiel (Adam Wylie) and a few of his cronies emerge from the corn to warn the four about trespassing on private property. They also direct these outsiders to the nearest town and bus stop, but they just miss said bus and must stop into the local tavern where Kane Hodder works as a bartender. After a thoughtless comment to the locals about an unpleasant odor in the air, our group learns that a burning corn silo is to blame. Wanna bet that silo will play a big part in the next hour or so?
In the interim, the group holes up in an abandoned house near town to await the arrival of the bus after discovering someone set fire to their car. Allison takes some time to explain her increasing funk: she heard an offhand comment in the bar about "He Who Walks Behind the Rows," a name that evokes memories of her brother Jacob (Dave Buzzotta). He ran off years ago to join a cult professing to worship this being, and it's no to learn that this very cult resides in the same area where Allison and her pals are now staying. Ezekiel, with the help of understanding adult Luke Enright (David Carradine), directs the ceremonies and sacrifices to "He Who Walks Behind the Rows," who just happens to live in the aforementioned burning silo. Allison reunites with brother Jacob and tries to talk him into leaving. Unfortunately, a book containing the cult god's holy writings fall into the hands of Kir, who reads it and promptly joins the group. Anyone in the cult attaining the age of eighteen must willingly jump into this silo fire so the demon can absorb their spirit, or some such nonsense. Needless to say a lot of people are going to go into that fire, including some local firefighters, a few cult members, and Jimmy Hoffa. Fred Williamson shows up from time to time as the suspicious local sheriff.
So all the elements listed above are here: the group of city kids ran into a rural evil, David Carradine and Fred Williamson showed up to collect their paychecks, and up and comer Eva Mendez put in her time as a snobby looker with a penchant for joining corn cults. All of the characters are appropriately irritating, with special mention going to Alexis Arquette as a mouthy city slicker who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. His eventual demise at the hands of enraged cultists is uniquely satisfying and requires that I bump this film up from two to three stars. An added benefit to watching "Children of the Corn 5" is the number of people we see engulfed in flames. When you're going to set up a fiery god living in a corn silo as the centerpiece of your film, you've got to start passing out fire retardant suits to the stuntmen. The scenes where the firemen fall prey to the roaring flames shooting out of the silo transcend the laws of physics. Watch and see if you can figure out why.
The only extras on the disc are trailers for parts three, four, and six of "Children of the Corn," "Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers," "Mimic 2," "Dracula 2000," and "Halloween: H20." This installment in the extraordinarily persistent "Children of the Corn" franchise was the last one I could watch without groaning aloud. It takes a steely constitution to weather the next two entries, let me tell you. Give this one a chance if you like Eva Mendez (what guy wouldn't) or if you simply must see every horror movie you stumble across.

Summary: Now they are just getting carried away.
Review: Ok...I'll admit it. I like the first Children of the Corn, I also like the second one but not as much. The third one was ok because they threw in a new twist with the kids being in school and living in a large community. I thought that is where they would stop but oh no, why quite well their ahead... Thank god I didn't see COTC4 available anywhere but online or I probably would have ended up renting or buying it.And then of course COTC5...Why go this far? This movie blew. It did have a good plot with the kids being grown up now but I must say that in no way was this movie scary or entertaining. Don't buy it unless you are a super huge Children of the Corn fan and need to have every one of them. It is a complete waste of time so avoid it at all cost.

Summary: Good Sequel
Review: Okay I'll admit it. The first was hands down the best movie in the seires. But this film is the best sequel in the seires so far... part 8 is on its way. This one wasn't just and excuss to make a gory cut em' up movie like 2 and 3, and wasn't pure cheese like part 4, and part 6 and 7 where just hands down confussing and boring. If your a fan of the original this is the one sequel you need to see.
