Summary: Hideous.
Review: I am a fan of the original Children of the Corn, and for the life of me I can't figure out how the five sequels could be so poor, for one, and for two, so poor, and yet have so many fans. I'm dumbfounded. This movie is terrible! I can't find the words to express how truly awful this movie is.

It begins with a young girl, Hannah, who is traveling back to Gatlin to find her birth mother. (Incidentally, they have the location of Gatlin all wrong -- It's not the original town.) On the way, her car breaks down and some old man, who has absolutely nothing to do with the movie, reads her some strange passage out of the Bible, then mysteriously disappears.

She gets to Gatlin, and we find that Isaac didn't die like he, well, DID in the first one, but rather has simply been in a deep coma for the last twenty-odd years. Hannah's mere touch awakens him, of course. And here's Isaac, once again, to wreak havoc on the sleepy little town of Gatlin as he once did before. But wait. I'm confused! Isaac is an adult now... Shouldn't he be sacrificed to He Who Walk Behind the Rows? Is Isaac suddenly immune to what he taught? Also, since when did the children in the original reproduce? Isn't that supposed to be a great sin?

Well, I won't give any spoilers, but I will warn you: This entire movie is full of continuity blunders and, above all....The story is absolutely weak. I saw this movie in the hopes that it would be the one COTC sequel that I would enjoy. As it turns out, it's the worst one yet....Save your money on this one and buy a better movie. This one is horrible.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It could have been better
Review: I love and respect John Franklin.I'm glad he made a come back in this movie.But I have to be honest this movie could have been better.It starts of with some girl name Hannah who is looking for her birth mother back in Gatlin.She walks into a hospital where she finds Isaac in a 19 year old comma.Her touch awakens him.From there Isaac tries to finish what he began in the first COTC movie.I don't want to spoil the whole movie and give out the ending to those who have not seen it.But I will say that the only action parts are the scenes where Isaac(John Franklin)is in.Like I said before I love and respect John Franklin but this movie could have been better.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: So...sad
Review: I rented this movie with expectations of a follow up to children of the corn 5 (which was a decent sequel), only to find a stupid and pointless plot. CHildren of the corn 1-3 were good movies, then 4 spoiled everything. And 5 started to reconcile the series...but 6 just squashed it down. Don't bother with 6, just hope that 7 will be a more of the 1-3 type of a movie. Children of the corn 7 : the reserection is being filmed in canada i have my doubts..since they cant reserect isaac again. blah!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I saw this one expecting it to be sooo horrible, as bad as IV or maybe even worse. I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be, well, pretty good. Not nearly as good as 2 (my favorite) or the original, but better than the past few. Maybe it's just because Isaac was in it, or maybe it's because the movie didn't have any really dumb special effects (what ruined 3 for me); whatever it was, I'm now hoping that 7 can do something with this series, maybe end it! We all know this series should have ended with 2 or maybe 3.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT GORE EVEN BETTER SEQUEL
Review: i thought this sequel was excellent.i ordered the dvd from here without watching it and when i got it i thought it was great.half scene was .isaac(john franklin)reprises his kid wierdo role.Nancy Allen earns top billing as a survivor of the original killer corn cult.GREAT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best One!
Review: Isaac shall chop off any ones head that didnt like this installment!It had everything a fan could want,mainly Isaac!The ending is really shocking that will surprise everyone!Also to have Rachel from the first was an awesome idea!This one also has the biggest budget,you can tell just by watching it.I loved this one,at the end when Hannah is talking...lesson to her because she says something that might mean that there will be a part 7...I give this one 5 stars!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stinks like garbage
Review: It didnt have enough deaths in the film and i still dont understand how they make 6 films that are so alike and they all stink like a pile of junk.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So Bad It's Almost Good
Review: It is astonishing that a weak film like the original "Children of the Corn" could be followed by so many dreadful sequels, the very worst of which is this one. In desperation, the producers decided to revive the character of Isaac. The former child actor John Franklin, still short (but MUCH older) turns in one of the lousiest performances in the annals of cinema, looking a great deal like a wizened old elf, and babbling the sort of silly lines which are typical of this sort of third-rate junk. This is a horrible film, not a horror film. It's time to plow that cornfield under, and request government subsidies; this "corn" is rotten!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Pretty Good Last Sequel
Review: It starts off with a 19 year old girl looking for her mother in Gatlin only to find Isaac the original COTC leader in a coma. When she touches his hand it wakes him up and kicks off mysterious events of a some kind of prophecy. I won't spoil anything else for those who have not seen it. Not as good as some of the earlier enteries, but overall it was pretty good. Decent acting especially by John Franklin and this seemed to have the biggest budget out of the all of them. It also has a twist ending that's not if you don't figure it out early in the movie. Although, this should of been No.2 instead of No.6.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just when you thought it was over...
Review: Just when you thought they were through making those stupid, boring, pointless COTC movies, they throw this one at you! The script is stupid and a waste of time. It really does not follow the whole COTC point. In part one, when they reached a certain age, they were supposed to die. And now, however many years later, Isaac returns, as an adult, and they think nothing of it... All I can say that is good about this movie, is Isaac's voice is not nearly as annoying as it was in the first one..That would be the only good point to it. Bottom line: Stay away from this whole series. It's not worth it!
