Walter Chaw Film Freak Central The best film of the series mainly because it doesn't try to recapture the lightning King caught in a bottle. Rated: 3/4 Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is 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. Rated: 1/5 Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet Cheap, lazy, uninspired filmmaking that hopes to coast by on a slick DVD cover and a brand name. Don't fall for it. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 5, 2011 Full Review Andrew Kasch Dread Central 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Elvis D 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the greatest sequel with Billy Drago!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17+. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review justin t 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review ryan s 0.5/5. Apart from a few moments of unintentional comedy, there is nothing here worth watching and it's the worst film in the Children of the Corn series. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d It feels like it wants to be the remake of Texas Chainsaw. It fails. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
