Isaac
was killed and the children keep on
killing while a a tabloid reporter John
Garrett (Terence Knox) and his son Danny
(Paul Scherrer) goes to the town of
Gatlin to investigate to investigate the
mass murders of the adults there. John
and Danny don't see eye to eye which
makes things difficult for the two.
A local in Gatlin named Micah (Ryan
Bollman) gets posessed in the cornfield
and takes over the children's cult while
Micah and his children commit murders in
the town of Hemmingford with voodoo type
magic and all of this involves Danny as
well and John must put a stop to this
evil influence.
Danny falls in love with a local there
named Lacey Hellerstat (Christie Clark)
which draws the two of them closer to the
cornfield.
John goes to the aid of a man named Frank
Redbear (Ned Romero) to get to the bottom
of things and to save their own necks
from the cult children.
God this was a
fairly bad sequel and it lacked a good
plot.
Many fans of the original felt the same
way.
I wouldn't be surprised if Stephen
King vomitted after he saw this.
Also, the flick was made on a thinner
budget too.
The acting is
average but some did fine like Ryan
Bollman who played Micah as he shows
terrific energy.
Also lead actor Terrence Knox
also made a convincing father in the film
with his personality.
Paul
Scherrer does okay as Knox's
sarcastic disrespectful son.
We have a nice supporting role by actress
Christie Clark as she is
convincingly beautiful in her
performance.
Supporting actor Wallace Merk
played a perfect evil sherrif
More gore than in
the first one (It seems that horror
sequels have more gore in them to grab
people's attention as ususally they are
flops).
Someones throat is slit by a corn leaf
and another is impaled in the neck by a
flying corn stalk.
You'll gross out with this next gory
scene. While Micah was in a church using
a voodoo doll on a preacher blood was
splurting out of his nose, eyes, mouth
and ears. YUCK!!!!
A doctor was beaten by a baseball bat,
stabbed repeatedly with needles and then
stabbed in the back with a knife.
There's a cut off hand in the cornfield
with the odd corpse revealed but it looks
a little fake.
Someone is hit in the chest with an arrow
and then Micah was grinded up in a corn
machine with blood splurting out of it.
Enough gore for you?
The directing is a
little lacking as when David Price
directed the people being terrorised, it
wasn't all that convincing and the energy
is very low during the beginning of the
film by the young cast when they act
posessed only seeing corn they all say.
There is disturbing scene's between John
Garrett and Ryan Bollman as
a dysfunctional father and son and it
looks so real too.
We have a great shot on co-starring actor
Ryan Bollman in the cornfield for
the first time calling for someone and
then the evil force posesses him.
Afterwards he shows great anger with the
cult children about when he discusses he
who walks behind the rows. He also shows
good expressionless reactions.
We have a not too shabby romantic
dialogues between Bollman and Christie
Clark as that's what we need for
this sequel.
Garrett and Ned Romero work
well together too when they try to get
down to the dirt on the town of Gatlin.
Ed Grady shows a perfect painful
reaction when he is hit by a bat and
stabbed by needles.
The scene with Marty Terry in
her electric wheelchair being controlled
by the children was way too corny.
A scene that lacks a bit is when Bollman
does his cult ceremony in the corn field
as it's not even close to be convincing
like in the first film and refuses to be
Isaac's replacement. However, he portrays
great aggression nonetheless. The shots
on the cornfield in the night with the
torches looked effective too.
We have an awesome special effects shot
on Bollman when he is about to
do a sacrifice but is struck by lightning
and a perfect intense reaction when he is
caught by a corn grinder machine.
The music composed
by Daniel Licht is quite
convincing with the chanting music and
other dark sounds which almost meets up
to the first film.
Mrs.
Burke: My husband walked into a corn
field 15 years ago. He never came back.
Danny:
Nice fucking driving.
John: Did your mother teach you to
talk like that?
Danny: Only when your name came
up.
Frank
Redbear: It means life out of
balance. My ancestors would have told you
that man should be at one with the earth,
the skies, and water. But the white man
has never understood this. He only knows
how to take. And after a while, there's
nothing left to take. So, everything's
out of balance. And we all fall down.
John Garrett: Wait a minute...so
that's what happened here in Gatlin?
Frank Redbear: No... what happened
in Gatlin was, those kids went ape-shit
and killed everyone.
Micah:
For everything, there is a season.
John
Garrett: Micah...did you see what
happened?
Micah: Some of it.
John Garrett: Like what?
Micah: My parents.
John Garrett: You saw what
happened to them?
Micah: I saw the corn.
John Garrett: What, were they out
in the cornfield?
Micah: Their blood was for the
corn.
Dr.
Richard Appleby: You actually see a
connection between a nosebleed and a
house falling?
John Garrett: Yeah...they're both
dead. That seems to happen a lot around
here, did you notice that?
Dr. Richard Appleby: I don't
appreciate your humor.
Micah:
Do you really think it was all Isaac's
doing, Jedediah? Do you?!? Who here
thinks this? Were we not given signs? Was
that not enough?
Jedediah: But they found them! And
they found us! Jesus Christ, Micah, they
were our parents.
Micah: They were adults! They were
of that world and we have seen the way of
that world, and it is evil.
Wayde
McKenzie: Hey, ragman, how's it
going? I love that piece you did on JFK
and his secret marriage to Rock Hudson,
that was some journalism.
John Garrett: Alright, alright.
Anyways, what happened around here?
Wayde McKenzie: Well, a bunch of
kids killed all the adults in town. Just
your basic Sunday afternoon in the
biblebelt.
Mary
Simpson: There's something out there.
Something that's evil. It's gotten ahold
of our children.
Mary
Simpson: There's something out there.
Something that's evil. It's gotten a hold
of our children.
Rev.
Hollings: The bible tells us that one
must become of a little child to find the
path from sin. Yet there are some in our
midst who feel that by taking on the
poor, homeless victims of this tragedy,
we are condemning ourselves to the same
fate. Well, it is just as bad to find
evil where it does not dwell... as to
fail to see it where it does. It is our
level of permissiveness that killed our
neighbors. Heavy metal music blaring out
its profane message to the waiting ears
of our impressionable children. Movies
are filled with violence! Blood and
bodies, *naked* bodies, writhing
together, glorifying fornication! We are
undone by our grievous animal desires.
That is why we must look into ourselves
to see if there is evil. Because that is
where the evil lurks. Evil! Evil that's
just waiting to rise up and seize the
day!
David
Simpson: I think I'm coming down with
a cold.
Lacey:
You little bastard.
Micah: (To Danny) First, cut out
her tongue. Then, when her pitiful
protestations are silenced, carve out her
heart!
Angela: For God's sake, Danny!
Mrs.
West: She warned you! She warned all
of you! You blind fools...you fools! You
let the wolf in your door, that's what
you did! You stupid idiots!
Mrs.
Burke: What a world.
John
Garrett: (Startled) Who are you and
what are you doing in here?
Frank Redbear: Now isn't that just
like a white man? Assumes he has the
right to be here an no one else does.
John Garrett: Okay, let's try it
another way. What do you know about all
this?
Frank Redbear: I know you're John
Garrett, reporter for the World Enquirer.
You're thirty-five years old---in
April---and you weigh a hundred and
eighty-five pounds.
John Garrett: How in the hell do
you know all that about me?
Frank Redbear: Even in a ghost
town...don't leave your wallet in a car
that's not locked.
Micah:
With the harvest moon tomorrow night, our
reign of peace shall dwell upon the land.
And a sword of righteousness shall strike
down the infidel.
Micah:
Danny... you disappoint me. Now, you must
be treated just like the others.
Danny: Micah, stop this now!
Micah: (slaps Danny in the face)
Silence!
John
Garrett: (Finds two co-workers
murdered) All right, don't try and tell
me that some God damn poisoned corn did
this. Now you level with me...what in the
fuck is going on here?
Frank Redbear: Einstein was right.
We didn't evolve out of random chance.
There is a higher power controlling all
of this. My ancestors believed in a God
of the earth, a God who seeks revenge for
the wrongs done to the earth. This is
what's happened.
John Garrett: Bullshit! That's
your answer? That God did this? That
God's pissed?
Frank Redbear: You've got a better
one?
Frank
Redbear: Sheriff, I think we've got a
problem.
Sheriff Blaine: (Points shotgun at
him) I think you may be right.
Frank
Redbear: Now, you can see by this
drawing that the children are
particularly vulnerable. They feel the
vibrations.
John Garrett: What's that supposed
to mean?
Danny:
The only reason I'm here is Mom didn't
want me at her wedding.
John: Wrong! The way I heard it
is, you and what's his name don't talk
anymore.
Danny: Shithead!
John: His name is Sherman.
Danny: Right, shithead Sherman!
John: You know, you've got a real
attitude problem.
Danny: Well I guess that's
genetic, DAD!
Sheriff
Blaine: I'll be heading the
investigation into the Indian murder. And
there's still some folks that think the
only good Indian is a dead Indian.
John Garrett: Fuck you,
pencil-dick.
