I was underwhelmed by the original Children of the Corn (1984) film, I expected something a lot more impressive and walked away very dissapointed.It took 8yrs before it got a sequel and the movie more or less picks up from the last. All the corpses of the residents have been found but the psychotic religious fanatic children haven't changed at all and once again set about purging the adults.It comes down to a reporter and his son to stop them, but though it makes for an interesting follow up the movie itself isn't very interesting.A couple of decent deaths and a passable premise don't make up for just how generic it feels. Nothing stands out, everything feels rather copy and pasted.The Final Sacrifice tries to flesh out the mythology and background of "He who walks behind the rows" but in doing so kind of damages what they'd already built. Sometimes simplicity is the key.If you liked the first I'd say this is essential viewing, if you didn't then take into consideration that this is more of the same.The Good:One death scene was greatFollows on nicelyThe Bad:Simply fails to entertainSquanders potentialThings I Learnt From This Movie:Rifling through a persons belongings left in a car is suitable small town etiquetteBINGO!

This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. If does not scary you no movie will. The first movie of Children of the corn is very scary. This is scarier. It has a great story line. It also has great acting.

Although the demon was supposed to be killed in an inferno, it's back using children to slaughter adults. This film is really the only entry from the series I care for. The acting may've not been Oscar-worthy, but the characters were way more believable. Ryan Bollman did a great job of preaching warped beliefs to the kids while John Franklin made you want to laugh. The deaths were too comedic at times but the special effects were equivalent to any big-budget film. Of course, we knew from the start that John and his son would escape. Still, the film maintained some suspense and tension. Plus, we get an explanation as to why the demon harbors hatred towards adults. If you ever want to watch a Children of the Corn film, choose this one.

For a sequel to "Children of the Corn" i wasn't expecting much of a movie. If you are one of the few who enjoyed "Children of the Corn" and like classic gory movies that are strange you will like this movie. i remember watching it as a kid than looking for it. when i found it i remembered why i loved it. the story has only changed some, children killing adults but it takes place after no. 1. when the neighboring town Hemmingford finds the children and the adults. then the children are moved out and live in new home, but they still meet to discuss their cult and worship, Micah one of the children is possessed by "He Who Walks Behind The Rows" and starts to kill the adults again. but a reporter and his son move into the town to investigate, the father goes to great lengths to find out exactly what happens, the son falls in love and joins the cult, after the cult kills some adults the reporter and a friend he met find poisoned corn and it explains why the children were acting the way they were, the children take the sons lover and a hotel manager to sacrifice but the reporter saves them, and kills Micah, ending the children's reign of terror. what i liked the most about it was how it was nothing like the original. it was cleaver and had some great kills (the guy in the church) and was very interesting to watch to an ultimately satisfying ending to me. thats why Children of the Corn II the Final Sacrifice gets an 8/10
