Summary: He Who Snoozes Behind The Rows
Review: A ginky oddity of a horror movie that has a lovely blossoming interlude for romance between the two lead characters amidst the equally blossoming bloody theme of parricide. The plot has something to do with teenagers falling under the evil spell of He Who Walks Behind The Rows. Along with the dreadful symbols of cornstalks and gleaming scythes is a repellant scene of a churchgoer getting the voodoo doll treatment by some sly young highschooler undoubtedly belonging to the cult of He Who Snoozes Behind The Rows.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie sucks
Review: Adopted brothers move to Chicago to live with a foster family and the young preacher turns the children against their parents. This movie is the lamest of the sequels to date. There was only one part that was good. And the finale completely ruined whatever chance this had to be a watchable movie. BOO!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Best of the Corn
Review: After a couple years on the shelf and the posibility of a theatrical release declined, Dimension released "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" in 1995 direct to video. Surprisingly, this third in the long-running series is actually the best of the bunch.Changing settings didn't work for "Friday the 13th, Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhatten", but surplanting the Corn Kids in suburban Chicago gives this series an energetic kick. Two silblings (Daniel Cerny, Ron Melendez) are adopted by a couple in Chicago, but the younger brother cannot escape the evil of He Who Walks Behind The Rows... and small town havoc is unleashed in big city Chi-Town.Featuring some imaginative sequences and genunie surprises, "Corn III" packs a pretty good punch. The finale was meant to be horrifying, but obvious budget contraints really turn the final battle into a joke. But up until then, this "Urban Harvest" is worth a look.

Summary: Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest
Review: After Joshua's parents got killed, he joins the group of the children. He finds his friend and "brother" Eli, who is a young and agressiv member of the group. A little while later they get adopted by a couple in chicago. Joshua gets at once the moste liked on, mostly cause he havent been very change by the children of the corn, and Joshua tryes even to get to know other people. Eli dosnt like this at all. He spends most of his time growing up a cornfield near his home. Nobody but Eli knows about it, so he can help his dark powers, and he who wakes behind the rose alone. After the field is big and powerfull he starts to get people to listen to him, to make also them disiples of he who wakes behind the rose. With this group of people Eli is going to change the youths of chicago, he hopes. There is only one problem by this, Joshua dosn't want to help him anymore.

As you can read, James D.R. Hickox has taken the story to the city. That could be cool and scarey, but it isn't. The story is almost boring, the specialefects get TO supernatural-if the story had been abit more in contact with our world it might be ok-and you cant help crying over the terible music. Not much of a movie. Can destroy the whole cotc series for you if you're not a real fan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Trilogy, that was never complete to begin with
Review: Children Of The Corn Three wasn't so bad. Until the ending. Dimeension & Miramax films could put fourth a litle bit more effort into it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Decent movie though the ending is rotten
Review: Despite the rotten ending this direct-to-video movie has good special effects and a few effective scenes. Two brothers move to Chicago and one of them is the children them of the corn and move with a foster family and the weird thing is the dad dislikes the older brother while the mom hates the younger brother. The other brother brings seeds that grow a cornfield in a vacant lot and rise the evil spirits and soon weird things start happening. Screaming Mad George's special effects are good especially the teen getting turned into a cornstock and blood shooting everywhere though the only fake effect was when a girl was getting picked up by the cornfiled monster they used doll and you could see the small doll that looked so unrealistic. the only part that was bad was the ending which was rotten.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Last Good One (Until Maybe 6)
Review: First of all, one person said this was direct-to-video. It wasn't. This was the last COTC to be released in theaters. It was also, in my opinion, the last good one, until maybe 6. After this, IV just made no sense at all, and Ezeekial totally annoyed me in V. Eli was a good leader, in the grand tradition of Isaac and Micah(my absolute fave) before him. I liked the whole "urban harvest" thing, too. I was loving this movie until the end, when they broke out the *stupidest* thing ever. When Eli turns into that worm, this movie's stock rating just plummetted for me. Without a big budget for effects it looked like the goofiest, cheesiest thing ever(think Evil Dead but serious about it). See it if you liked the first 2, and have a great laugh at the cheesy death scenes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good COTC movie?
Review: I couldn't believe how much fun I had watching this movie. The COTC movies are not exactly the Lord of the Rings but this one was a hoot!!! The plot basically boils down to The Omen if Damien really really liked corn. The special effects were inventive and couple of genuinely shocking deaths had my jaw on the floor. When He Who Walks yadda yadda finally appears (the FIRST TIME!!) it is the most hilariously hokey puppetry creation I have ever seen. (Remember the good old days of animatronics?) Watch for the shot where the demon grabs Maria. Can we say Barbie Doll????? Get some beer, some rowdy friends and hang on for one fun gross-out ride!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pretty likable
Review: I liked this movie because it was pretty scary. I liked the ending. The dvd dosnt have much features though.
