I've now seen most of the Children of the Corn movies (there was a marathon on Sy-Fy), and I was curious as to what we rate them. (and I'll update What's the last horror movie you saw? tomorrow)
First, let me list the movies: Disciples of the Crow (the original movie that was based off the short story; it's only 30 minutes; 1983; haven't seen it), Children of the Corn (1984), Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992), Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995, haven't seen it), Children of the Corn: The Gathering (1996), Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror (1998), Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return (1999), Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001), and Children of the Corn (2009 remake). That's nine (9) movies in total, now let me rate them:
Since I have not seen these movies, they will not be listed: Disciples of the Crow and Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest.
From best to worst:
1. Children of the Corn (1984)
2. Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror (1998) (This was actually pretty good)
3. Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992)
4. Children of the Corn (2009)
5. Children of the Corn: The Gathering (1996) (I should mention that this has nothing whatsoever to do with the series)
6. Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001) (I should also mention that this is NOT a slasher, it's a supernatural movie)
7. Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return (1999) (Although I sort of want to re-watch this.)
So, let's all compare!
