Ten years after the last entry, they go for the reboot angle. Except it's not really it's just the same as always.

First thing that jumps out is the 2.35:1 ratio. Children of the Corn just went widescreen. It instantly looks classier. Unfortunately the script is still dreadful. Although it's a huge step up from the last entry which was probably the worst of all of them. Nicer cinematography, a much more modern colour grading scheme and a better score this time too.

Barbara Nedeljakova from Hostel is in this one. Billy Drago is creepy as ever. My problem is not the acting in this one. It's the fact that absolutely nothing happens.

Sure there's some car flips at the end and it's the most impressive, albeit brief amount of actin in the entire franchise but then again, the franchise was never about action, or even gore, despite what part 3 might think.

Well except for a tv movie from the syfy channel in 2009 which has no relation to the Dimension films, that's all the children of the corn films. Not a great horror series despite my love for that first film and the insanity of part 3.
