Children Of The Corn: Revelation: Review

starstarstarstar
Unlike the HALLOWEEN or NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET series, the CHILDREN OF THE CORN films are profoundly: It's hard to remember background details from one film to the next. Because she hasn't heard from her Granny lately, Jamie (Claudette Mink) pays a visit to the Hampton Arms condominium, the condemned building into which Grandma recently moved. Jamie can't find Grandma — we, of course, know she's six feet under, helping the corn grow — and can't fathom what drew her to this decrepit building surrounded by vaguley menacing stalks of corn. Jamie enlists the cooperation of Detective Armbrister (Kyle Cassie), but fails to realize the peril represented by the Hampton Arms, which was built on the site of a decades-past tent fire that wiped out the Children of the Corn evangelists. Founded on distrust of grown-ups, the sect advocated mass suicide instead of surrender to adult authority. Jamie's Grandma survived the inferno as a youngster, but the malicious spirits of the cult have now reclaimed her. With their bloodlust recharged, the demon tykes roam the Hampton Arms and knock off various condo dwellers, including the maintenance man, a wheelchair-bound curmudgeon, a pole dancer and a gun-toting paranoiac. But when they branch out and decapitate a nearby convenience store owner, the cops finally lose their cool. The horrific harvesters turn their attention to Jamie, but, armed with information from a local priest (Michael Ironside), she fights back. Though the deft cinematography adds some much-needed atmosphere, this genre piece is done in by its lame premise. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
