3/4
The best film of the series mainly because it doesn't try to recapture the lightning King caught in a bottle. Go to Full Review

1/5
The lack of children of the corn in "Children of the Corn: Genesis" isn't the film's main issue. The biggest problem it has is that it's not entertaining. It's boring and at 80 minutes, it feels long. Go to Full Review
Scott Weinberg FEARnet 09/05/2011
1.5/5
Cheap, lazy, uninspired filmmaking that hopes to coast by on a slick DVD cover and a brand name. Don't fall for it. Go to Full Review

3/5
While it isn't anything spectacular, Genesis is one of those low-budget movies you could come across on late night television and easily kill a guiltless 80 minutes with. Go to Full Review

Caleb L Oct 5 Continuing the franchise trend of experimentation, CotC: Genesis gives some interesting new lore and characters to the series. See more James B Dec 17 It's low budget and doesn't have the best CGI and most of the film isn't really to do with the corn and he who walks behind the rows and the only interesting bit is the end. See more Elvis D 03/19/2023 Siendo totalmente honesto, esta es sin duda la peor de toda la saga. La película inicia bien con un prólogo interesante y de hecho esperaba una interesante precuela, pero en vez de eso, la película cuenta una historia que al inicio es como la original, pero ya todo se reduce a un thriller cuya historia de origen de la entidad que controla a los niños es algo incoherente y deja mucho que desear. Simplemente, esta película genera muchas preguntas y casi nada tiene sentido aquí. Hubiera funcionado si hubiese narrado solamente como los niños se convirtieron en un culto que tomo control total del pueblo. Esta precuela falla en todos los sentidos y por eso le doy un 5/10. See more 06/16/2022 Adoro, essa franquia marcou minha infância, praticamente minha iniciação no mundo do terror, com criancinhas demoníacas e rostinho angelical, num milharal infinito, solitário e assustador, apaixonante… Aqui temos mais do mesmo, num clichê maravilhoso, quem se importa, o saudosismo puro, policial sugado pelo céu, a dúvida e ambiguidade na fala dos personagens, quem é o mocinho, quem é a vítima, mas a criancinha, essa sim, é sempre a culpada nas Colheitas Malditas, como não amar… See more 04/13/2022 LOL, the greatest sequel with Billy Drago!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17+. See more justin t 02/16/2022 Excellent cinematography and sound. It's hard to make the eighth (ignoring the remake) in a series original and so this just makes it weird. At least it had a big budget modern atmosphere. It looked nice and there were some tense scenes of suspense but the story was really nonsensical. It had a really weak ending and nothing going for it except good technical aspects. See more Read all reviews
