When
Eli and Joshua’s abusive father dies
in Nebraska as Eli put an evil spell on
him in the cornfield by turning him into
a scarecrow without letting Joshua know
about this evil madness, the two boys are
moved to Chicago where they are adopted
by William (Jim Metzler) and Amanda
Porter (Nancy Grahn).
Amanda seems to adjust well with Joshua
but finds Eli a little intimidating after
some events she experiences caused by him
as he has something deadly planned for
her. She can't even convince her husband
that he's a problem.
Joshua
(Ron Melendez) seems content with his new
home, and tries to make friends with the
kids at school. However, he is not used
to the city life as all through his life
he lived in the farmlands and not
understanding the fashions.
But, Eli (Daniel Cerny) keeps to himself
and behaves very strangely since he has
other frightening plans: He wants to
ressurect the dark god "He Who Walks
Behind the Rows".
To do this, he brought some of his corn
from the field of his former home and
plants the seeds in an abandonded
courtyard in the city, making a cornfield
where him and his worshippers gather.
Plus, he plans to sell it with his
adopted father William. Once Joshua
catches on to this, he must race against
time to stop his brother, before he can
unleash hell on Earth.
This one really
makes up for the first awful sequel and
it remains to be one my favourite
sequels.
The cornfield in Nebraska looked darker
and gloomier which was a perfect touch
for the film.
The story was taken in a totally
different direction too but it is still a
sequel to the first two nevertheless.
The acting is in
okay taste. Daniel Cerny is
quite impressive as the evil kid Eli.
The actors who play the tough school
Chicago kids perform very well with their
roles.
I liked Jon Clair's role
the best in this film with his outgoing
performance as the lead role of the
Chicago city local Malcolm.
Arms severed by corn vines
hung on cross and turned into scarecrow.
Eyes pierced by corn vines, then pulled
into ground.
Flame from lighter magically goes into a
lady's mouth, causing her face to melt.
Someone trips on loose pipe and falls,
back of head first, onto a spicket on a
pipe.
Someone is cut in half with a sickle.
My favourite death scene which is a black
man's head and spinal column ripped out
by corn vines when going to Nebraska to
find a solution to stop the cornfield
growing in the city of Chicago.
Heads are eaten out by roaches.
Various teens are impaled and cut in half
and the vines go through their wrists.
Yep the sequels are getting gorier each
time. Great effects.
The directing is
quite impressive as James D.R. Hickox knows
how to make this flick have a dark story
especially in the corn field.
Plus he made the actors perform well as
tough Chicago highschool kids.
He also knew how to make you jump with
the brief scene of the street bum being
attacked with some corn vines in his
eyes.
He also directs well with interesting
nightmare sequences by the highschool
preacher performed by Michael Ensign.
The scenery around the cornfield that was
grown in the abandoned courtyard is also
very impressive.
But my favourite directorial scene was
when Melendez and Clair's
characters travelled to Nebraska to find
the satanic bible in the cornfield and
are battling a killer scarecrow and
experiencing other deadly surrounding in
the cornfield.
The beast that entered out of the
cornfield in the courtyard is amazing.
The music composed by once
again Daniel Licht like he did
in the first sequel and does a great job
with it as it adds the touch to this
film.
We also have three
songtracks from the film "The Belly
of the Beast" by Littes Group,
"Put it Up" and "The Birth
of Soul" performed by the rap group
S.O.U.L.
William
Porter: We've got a brand new
Japanese invention here, we call it
pizza.
Eli
Porter: Why papa? Why did you have to
go and hurt my brother? Family is sacred
papa. You know I'd never hurt you. Not
even for this.
Joshua:
what happened to my father? Back in
Gatlin what did you do to him?
Eli Porter: Made sure he'd never
hurt you again.
Eli
Porter: Let us give thanks to He Who
Walks Behind the Rows, who protects our
crops and keeps the infidel and
unbeliever in the torments of hellfire
eternal. Amen.
William
Porter: Eli!
Eli Porter: Let the harvest begin!
Eli
Porter: With age comes blindness but
we who are young have a vision and that
is the gift to us from He Who Walks
Behind The Rows! Our greatest Harvest is
to come!
T-Loc: Harvest this motherfucker!
Eli

Hey, where you at, butt-head? You in here
with me now!
Eli Porter: I'm not in here with
you. You're in here... with me.
Father
Frank Nolan: Who to hell are you?
Eli Porter: Father as if you
didn't know!
Eli
Porter: You knew who I was from the
moment you set eyes on me and so did my
poor foster mother. Certain people can do
that Frank, I don't know why.
T-Loc:
I wouldn't sit there.
Eli Porter: Why not?
T-Loc: 'Cause I think you gonna
try and suck my dick.
Eli
Porter: Howdy.
T-Loc: Don't give me that goddamn
Gomer Pyle, Howdy Doody bullshit,
alright? I'm here to get Dee.
Eli: Can't spare him.
T-Loc: What you gonna do? Preach
me to death?
[Eli shoves him and runs]
T-Loc: Hey, come back here you
little shit! I'm gonna kick your little
ass, doo-dah. Doo-dah.
William
Porter: Why should I share this with
my employers? I developed the strain.
Charles: Yes I know, but ethically
you're still bound...
William Porter: Fuck ethics!
Charles: My, my, my, William. I do
believe that is the first time I've ever
heard you swear.
Malcolm:
Shit! Man, where's the fucking scarecrow?
Maria:
This is first base.
[She and Josh kiss]
Maria: And this is second base.
[she lifts Josh's hand to her breast]
Josh: How do I get a home run?
Malcolm: You don't!
Malcolm:
Josh, Man, if this ain't good... If this
ain't good, Man, I'm gonna kill you.
Josh: It's not good. Get dressed!
[a
crow perches on a scarecrow]
Malcolm: You're fired.
