I guess you'll have to forgive me for not having seen all of the movies in this series. I still saw most, but I might get some details wrong about how I'm confused about this movie. First of all, it reveals that Isaac has been in a coma or something since the first movie. I believe in the first movie he died and then came back as a zombie or something and the story with him just ended right there. Was there something in Parts 4 and 5 I missed? I would watch him, but I think these movies are stupid and am not going to waste my time with all of them.The fact that I'm doing most of them is good enough. I admit that it was interesting to learn about Isaac returning. He was literally the only character that I knew of that appeared in more than one of these movies. I remember his hammy acting from the first film and how it was entertaining to see that. It made the first film at least not as bad as the sequels. Here, Isaac is pretty boring and really not even that important to the story. This movie features the talk of a prophecy of a girl who needs to make more children of the corn with Isaac's son. I don't know how or when Isaac had a son. Are there even any children in this? Well, there is this one scene with a bunch of kids but they never show up again. The guy who played Isaac actually suffered from a disease that stopped him from growing as he was 25 in the first movie! This movie has no point and is just another entry in this purposeless series. *

Plagued by disturbing nightmares, a young woman returns to her hometown in Gatlin, Nebraska and learns that the town are all disciples of a fanatical cult leader behind her visions that have been intended to get her to fulfill a prophecy and tries to stop it from happening.There was some good stuff to this one when it tried to. One of it's best features is the fact that there's a couple well-designed action scenes spread throughout that make for a rather entertaining element. The car chase is the most impressive, as the monster truck chasing them allows for some nice visuals coming out over the corn- rows and the cramped location make for a thrilling, exciting encounter. Others throughout the film, from the hotel confrontations and the resurrection in the hospital, make for some nice times here, though where the film gets the best action scenes are contained in the final half-hour. There's a great ritualistic ceremony that plays out from the set-up to the actions portrayed and the chase through the cornfields with the night-time setting being a big factor as well as the flowing water, the motorcycles brought in and the incessant laughter heard in the background of the whole sequence. The extended nature of it allows for plenty of running-and-hiding which makes it feel more tense than it should, and it kick-starts the second half rather nicely. Also found in the finale is the best part, the action-packed finish that has a lot going for it and definitely gets in some really great parts to it, from the revelation that comes as a total surprise to the brawling that occurs and much more, really gets a lot of points for it. The last plus to the film is the blood and gore, which are all combined together into the film's good parts. There wasn't a whole lot of flaws, but there was a couple big areas that don't work. One of the main ones is that the film just doesn't have a whole lot going on for it in the early goings. The fact that it's mostly a mystery as to what the source behind the strange visions are is the main reason as it has to build them up and then make them threatening and worthy of an investigation then have a rational outcome that plays into the rest of the film which it fails at doing. The mystery here almost feels like a back-story during the segment it's supposed to be the main focus as it spends most of the time intermingling the search with the townspeople meet-and-greet which makes the beginning play out really slowly and not that interesting. There's also the matter of the film's biggest problem in that so many of the scenes intended to be scary just fall flat. The segments wandering around in a deserted hallway in the hospital are prime choices but instead just show her walking forever through an empty place before someone jumps out at her and the amount of time wasted here is pretty big. The last flaw here is the fact that the film doesn't really tend to show the cult as something dangerous, which was always done in the past. Here, it barely even matters since the second half is all about the reformed relationship with the cult around the edges to provide an obstacle to overcome, barely making a dent that the others had successfully done well. This isn't as noticeable as the others and can be overlooked quite easily.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and a shadowy, mild sex scene

A young girl named Hannah decides to go to Gatlin to find out who her mother is. She crashes her car into the cornfield along the way and goes to the local hospital for medical attention. It is there that we see Isaac, the little preacher boy from the original Children of the Corn. He is in a coma, but when she enters the room he awakens after nineteen years of sleep (since the original). Majority of the film is spent showing Isaac building up the next generation of brainwashed children and teens, including his own son Matt, to carry out "he who walks behinds the rows" prophecy. Also Hannah searching for her mother while finding herself attracted to one of the young people Gabriel, who has a few secrets of his own.We find out that Hannah's parents were Rachel and Amos, two of the older "children" from the original film. If you recall there was that girl at the end of that first film who tried to kill Peter Horton's character. So they tie that into '666' really nicely. We also see in this film that Gatlin hasn't changed much in nineteen years. A few adults do live there now like the doctor and a cop, but it is still fairly deserted and creepy as ever. To me, Children of the Corn 666 falls flat. It isn't as good as good as parts 1-5 because of it's realism. Children of the Corn films always had a STRONG supernatural presence which made them cheesy and fun. The threat in this film for Hannah is a group of brainwashed teenagers and not-so-young Isaac who believe that he is "he who walks behind the rows". The one thing this sequel has going for it is the continuation from the first film with regards to the baby Rachel and Amos were going to have. You get the sense in this film that Isaac is just a crazy person, while in the original you knew that there was a supernatural force guiding him to do those awful things. COTC 666 It isn't a terrible film, but wasn't nearly as good as the previous installments. There are too many twists and turns to the plot that leave me spinning in confusion.4/10

Honestly until I recently signed up for Netflix I was unaware of how many of these movies existed! I knew there was the first one which I had seen and it was OK. Though truthfully isaacs voice was quite annoying, perhaps that's part of the horror. Anyway I have been watching them for free of course late at night a couple of them put me to sleep and now I am up to this one. Have yet to see however many more are after this one. Well this certainly not the best movie. A bit confusing at parts but that may be because I was not fully interested. In fact I had to stop and resume a couple times. I did make one observation about Isaac though. He just woke from a 19 year coma or whatever...despite being killed...yet correct me if I'm wrong but in the beginning of the move when he is just waking up is he not wearing contacts? Seems as though if you had been out of it for almost two decades you won't be wearing contact lenses!
