This third part of the franchise see's two children from the original town massacre adopted and moved to the big city. One takes to his new surroundings well and begins to make friends while his younger brother continues his loyalty to "He who behinds behind the rows"For a start I was glad of the new setting, however it quickly became apparent that they really weren't going to utilize it.Eli becomes yet another child preacher and alike those before him is obnoxious and plays his well really well.The film itself plays out basically exactly as you'd expect. Religion, a few deaths and an "Ultimate showdown" at the end.Not good, not bad, just more of the same when by all rights it should have been really quite different.The Good:Follows on quite wellThe Bad:Nothing exactly stands outSome ropey sfx at the endThings I Learnt From This Movie:Corn cross, corn bible, whole things getting a bit corny

This is a great horror movie. It is very scary. Children of the corn IV is better. But still this is a very scary movie. It is a great story line. It also has great acting. It is scarier then The Shinning. If it does not scary you no movie will.

This time there isn't a bunch of kids we follow, there is just those two, and one of them is is just there for the sub-plot (that include brother rivalry and a love interest), as he is Eli's half brother. Eli has a history of worshiping "he who walks behind the rows" and killing parents before he was adopted into a family where he gets his half brother, and now once again he is adopted for the second time after killing his last adoptive parents. This time Eli is starting a new life in the suburbs of Chicago. It doesn't take long before he starts growing his own cornfield in an old closed down factory next to his home, and then it don't take long before he gets a little group of corn cult worshiping children again. There also this sub-plot with his new father who is amazed by Eli's astonishing new corn and are trying to get rich out of it. After the boring and monotone CotC 2, this was a huge step up in entertainment. It's just more fun and had more enjoyable characters. Worth mentioning that Eli has supernatural powers like Isaac in the first movie. Special effect is good and "the puppet" with barbie doll near the end is priceless. I liked this movie, it's not great at all, but fun, a guilty pleasure. One of the better Children of the Corn movies

"Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" is a somewhat tacky and unnecessary sequel to the moderately successful Stephen King adaptation and its slightly under-rated sequel.In the film, two youths from Gatlin (the setting of the first two films) are taken in by a yuppie couple in Chicago. The older of the two fits in relatively well, but the younger has plans of his own. Planting a corn field in the abandoned property next door, he creeps out his adoptive parents and eventually converts the entire teenage population to his maze worshipping cult.Despite a predictable plot that seems to be missing chunks (at what point did Eli win over his peers?), dodgy special effects and wooden performances by its relatively unknown cast, the film is moderately enjoyable for what it is. If you want to see some brutal and over-the-top death scenes committed by vegetation, then "Children of the Corn III" hardly disappoints. Elsewhere, however, the film comes up short, and that's all there really is to it.The film was dumped in theaters briefly in 1994 before being thrust into complete oblivion, making room for four direct-to-video sequels and a made-for-TV remake. Look closely, and you'll spot Charlize Theron in her very first role as an extra.
