The original 'Children of the Corn' wasn't exactly a hit at the box office, but I guess what it made in rentals and sales and the following it had developed are what got someone to come up with a sequel. Surprisingly enough, this is one of those rare sequels that's actually better than the original. Is that saying much? No, but the film is still quite enjoyable.
Pros: Never a dull moment. Well-acted by all in the cast. Plenty of blood and gore to satiate gorehounds. Some decent visual effects. A mean streak that heightens the tension. Creative, if a bit over the top, kills. Some humor. The filmmakers attempted to expand on what was established in the original.
Cons: Thinly plotted. The direction is mostly bland and point and shoot. Lacks true scares and suspense. Though the kills are creative and graphic, they're also so over the top to the point of unbelievability.
Final thoughts: OK so maybe the world didn't really need a 'Children of the Corn II,' but after all is said and done this movie really isn't so bad. It's actually got some good ideas and is very entertaining, especially compared to the next sequel. But that's another story.
My rating: 3/5
