31 Days of Horror Day 05 Children of the Corn II:The Final Sacrifice

Children of the Corn II:The Final Sacrifice
1993
Echo Bridge DVD

Coming out almost 10 years after the original,this film was kind of a surprise to me. I had heard nothing about it. And was surprised when I walked into the Forts Lake Homeport video store and saw it for rent.

The surviving kids from the original are being moved into a nearby town. Terence Knox,of Tour of Duty fame,is a reporter who comes into the area to do an article on what happened. He also has his alienated teenage son with him.

I do like the quickly dropped sub-plot which tries to say that fungus on the corn is causing all the craziness. And most of the FX work is fairly well done. When the kid that replaces Issac as the corn cult leader gets possessed by He who walks behind the rows,we get treated to some now very dated looking computer FX work.

Another thing that stands out about this film is Christie Clark,who played Carrie Brady for years on Days of our Lives,has a big role.She becomes Terence's son's love interest.

The kills are all fun. With the one where the Corn Cult kids cause a house to fall on an elderly woman being the best of the bunch.

Children of the Corn II:The Final Sacrifice gets a B-.
