Walter Chaw Film Freak Central That's the extent of it, aside from the now-standard trope of surprise offspring or hidden offspring ... Rated: 0.5/4 Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Jake Euker F5 (Wichita, KS) Rated: 1/5 Oct 10, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 1/5 Jun 6, 2005 Full Review Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is 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.

Jelisije J Well at least they tried to do a different story with children of the corn franchise.....the execution of this film though however was terrible. 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Elvis D 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review steve d 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). Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review russell h Very dull. Probably my least favorite of the series so far Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review bill t 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I must confess that I have a bit of a soft spot for direct-to-video 1990s horror movies. They're really bad, but I just have a nostalgia for that time period. Children of the Corn 5 is pretty intolerable though. On the surface it had some things going for it: Eva Mendes before hitting it big, Alexis Arquette when she was still an awkward guy, David Carradine and Fred Williamson with nothing better to do... There was some promise. But there is little fun in this movie, with the plot dragging along while characters walk from scene to scene just to talk. It brings nothing new to the table that hasn't basically been addressed in the first movie or (better yet) the 40-page short story. It just felt like a waste of time. But I did have to nudge the score up just ever so slightly because of the death scene with David Carradine and Fred Williamson. It's hilariously awesome. Worth going out of your way just to find that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
