Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
Now if you have read my review of the first film the other day you will have seen how much I still enjoyed the film that starred Linda Hamilton, Peter Horton and John Franklin, but when it came to Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice which came along in 1992 (8 years after the first film), it becomes a bit more tongue in cheek over the original film.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) in Movies
Mar 19, 2021
It genuinely made me laugh, has some truly inspired gory moments, has a cast who are either hamming it up to the max, or playing things completely straight, either way, all of it is absolutely over the top and just sort of works.
Some of the special effects are sooooo awful, but that honestly just adds to the experience. The animatronic prop T-Rex is pretty great. The T-Rex uses a pay phone at one point. The plot is so absurd to the point that I wasn't even questioning any of it. Isaac from Children of the Corn has his head bitten off before his headless body runs away into a stack of boxes.
Will definitely be one of my comfort movies from now on.

What makes it better is the addition of a film adaptation of a Stephen King novella to satiate
fanatics’ hunger.
Except the question lies in whether I felt full watching this movie.
The story begins with a brother and sister duo on a long journey to San Diego. Sweltering heat and pregnancy do not mix well, alongside the long-winding roads of America until they stop by a field of tall grass. What can go wrong by stopping in the middle of nowhere that’s giving out a Children of the Corn vibe?
The siblings find themselves going through the tall grass after hearing cries from a very distressed child, only to find themselves stuck in a never-ending cycle where there is seemingly no way out and only a rock statue that apparently lets you see things you will never imagine of seeing.
The concept had a potential to give viewers something more and unexpected. But that’s the thing.
It didn’t.
The first half of the movie set the scene of being trapped in a maze of grass, but then the second
half was pretty much the same, with only a couple of weird occult-like elements thrown in to fuel the dying flame. Not only this, but the viewer is left to piece the puzzles together, only to find out that they don’t match. You are left to question the purpose of the rock, the baby and Patrick Wilson’s seemingly possessed character.
If you enjoy watching a slow paced, psychological horror movie and the feeling of being confused, then you can go check this film out.
There is something captivating about this adaptation that keeps you hooked until the end but bear in mind, it requires you to have an open mind and low expectations.
Needless to say, you might as well go and have read of the book, which was also co-written by Joe Hill,the king of horror’s son.
