31 Days of Horror Day 04 Children of the Corn V:Fields of Terror

Children of the Corn V:Fields of Terror
1998
Echo Bridge DVD

I am sure I have seen this film before. But I don't remember any of it.

I do wish more of the Children of the Corn films had a tight continuity. After a really fun part 4 I was expecting another decent DTV horror. Well I didn't get what I expected. Instead I got a paint by numbers late 90s DTV Dimension film.

About the only things that stand out about this film are.A fairly young Eva Mendes in what is her first movie role. She is the best thing about the film,and made me wish she did more film work. Then you have Ahmet and Diva Zappa. Neither of whom are good actors.And finally we get David Carradine as the leader of this group of Corn Cult Kids.

The FX work is decent. But not good enough to save the bad script.

Children of the Corn V:Fields of Terror gets a D+.
