Children of the Corn in tha Hood

'Children of the Corn 3' is pretty damn entertaining. Not as good as two, but still superior to the original and well worth watching. It's certainly never effective as a straight horror movie, but it's got plenty of camp appeal and some amusing gore. This one is sorta vaguely related to the original central story, as it's about little creepy Eli and larger, normal Joshua who are adopted brothers. At the films beginning Eli murders his adopted father so they have to move in with a foster family... IN THE CITY!!!!! Eli is some sorta evil corn warlock and he starts killin' people for no particular reason and works on a scheme to feed tainted super-corn to all the world with the unwitting help of their foster father, who is some sort of corn magnate. What's worse, Eli starts preaching at the toughest Catholic school in the hood and starts converting everyone, to create a whole new pack of corn children! That all sounds pretty silly, I'm sure, and it is, but they try to take is seriously, which is nice. Intentionally camp movie do work sometimes, but they can rarely compare to something which was meant to be taken seriously. Though actually, I don't wanna be to hard on it, as it's actually more competent than a lotta films of this caliber. I get the feeling that the director could manage a pretty decent horror movie if he had a decent script and a moderate budget. But this is what we got, and there ain't much they can do with this plot, and the dude who plays Eli just ain't menacing, like Malachi was in the first one. Still, it's pretty awesome, with a nice scarecrow attack, a corncifiction, a big scary corn monster that eats a doll, some computer generated fireballs, a crazy agitated priest, a chick totally melting, a corn-thieving hobo who gets his comeuppance, icky bugs, a scary corn-bible and a glimpse into the mysterious world of international corn trade. If all that hasn't convinced you that you need to see 'Children of the Corn 3', that I don't think it's gonna happen. Also, Charlize Theron has a small role as one of the new Children of the Corn towards the end. Not that I can imagine why you'd care, though it does show how life really can change- in ten years she went all the way from 'Children of the Corn 3' to... ... .... ...'Aeon Flux'. You've come a long way, baby.

Chicago Massacre

''Children of the Corn'' and ''Children of the Corn 2 - Final Sacrifice'', were really the only films the CotC series needed. If it was like that, they could've made Children of the Corn 666 the third movie and made all the other films cable films.

''Children of the Corn 3 - Urban Harvest'' is probably one of the only CotC movies that has the worst CGI Effects. There is a scene were a montser comes out of the corn, killling the children of the corn, and they expect us to think that a puppet is a horrific monster!

Then a girl gets picked up and eaten, which was really a barbie doll ( because the arms and legs don't squirm or anything ).

But other than the lame effects, the plot was kind of off the "Children of the Corn" pattern. I've seen the trailer for this movie before I saw the actual thing, and the trailer made it look so much better.

I live in Chicago, and this film was supposd to be in Chicago. I was scared by this movie one bit. Daniel Cerny ( Eli ) was not too shabby of an actor in this movie. He acted like a pretty creepy kid so I think he was pretty good.

Ron Melendez ( Josh ) is like an adult in this movie, so that is probably why they made him not the evil one.

For the gore in this movie, a guy gets stabbed in the chest with a tiny sickle which is simply but on his shirt. Then Eli just kills the rest of the people with magic ( which is pretty lame ).

CotC 1 & 2 are way better than this one.

3Stars!
