That's the extent of it, aside from the now-standard trope of surprise offspring or hidden offspring ... Go to Full Review

No "Children of the Corn" film is ever going to be a masterpiece, but "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" manages to be entertaining by putting the focus on the cult itself, and having younger people fight off these god damn children. Go to Full Review

I wonder if Stephen King chuckles when he finds these movies sitting in the bargain bin. Go to Full Review

Justin T 3d The flashing is so intense it’s hard to tell what’s going on in some of the more exciting scenes. The editing is great most of the time showing the right reactions etc but it’s too choppy in the action. Maybe they didn’t have much to work with. The cinematography was questionable. The casting is good for the adults but bad for the children, especially the leader. The ‘comedy’ is very subjective, I didn’t hate it. The film got really boring in the middle, they just didn’t have the story to make a whole film. The last 25 minutes was so cheesy but so entertaining although the finale was an anticlimax. Eva Mendes looks amazing. Some character decisions were incomprehensible and I didn’t like the melodrama. Each film has its own slightly different take on the lore, it’s not as bad as the leprechaun franchise but still inconsistent. It’s not very gory and the special effects are still not special. One really cool practical effect was ruined by shoddy visual effects and editing.

Half the characters I couldn't get invested in so I was just really watching to see how each of them would die. Massive plot holes that makes no sense and a lot of convenient plot points were made to get the story going. See more Elvis D @Elvis-Del-Valle 03/19/2023 Esta quinta película retoma algo de las primeras entregas y aunque también expande el universo de esta saga, de hecho falla como película de terror, ya que se trata de un thriller sobrenatural más bien. Los efectos especiales le dan algo de vibra, pero son pocos y la historia va de acuerdo al misterio de todo lo que sucede en la trama. Una historia muy simple y a pesar de tener a David Carradine, es una película olvidable que no aporta mucho a esta saga. Mi calificación para esta película es un 7/10. See more steve d 07/05/2020 Bad even by the series own low standards, this is one of the worst. The acting is really bad (at least by the men in the cast). See more russell h 03/05/2019 Very dull. Probably my least favorite of the series so far See more bill t @Spuzz 11/28/2016 Pretty standard horror fare here, showing almost no originality, almost just going through the paces. The only thing scary in this one is Alexis Arquette's goatee. See more Read all reviews
