A girl
named Hannah (Natalie Ramsey) travels to
her hometown in Gatlin to discover her
missing mother and to find out who she
really is.
She picks up a strange preacher along the
way only to discover he was some sort of
a spirit as he disappears in her car
while she is driving.
When
she arrives in the small town she finds
the people there very strange and
intimidating. When she arrives in the
small town she finds the people living
there are very strange and intimidating.
While she enters the local hospital she
is grabbed by a mental patient named Jake
(William Prael) and takes her to a room
where a patient from an original cult of
the children named Isaac Chroner (John
Franklin) is as he is put in a coma after
all those years when he was rumored to be
dead since 19 years ago on the massacre
which he was responsible for as he led a
group of cult kids to kill the adults in
the small town..
Isaac awakens and Hannah becomes part of
his prophecy as Hannah finds out that her
mother made out that she died when she
was a baby to rescue her from Isaac's
evil grasp.
Hannah
however, gets help from the aid of a
young employee at the hospital named
Gabriel (Paul Popowich) to find any
information on her mother Rachel Colby
(Nancy Allen) and to rescue her from
Isaac's evil cult.
This was passable
but not as good as the previous sequel.
It's good to see Isaac back again though
as if the sequels never happened. Time
seemed to stand still between the film
and the first one making out that the
cult members were waiting for Isaac to
awaken from his coma when he was rumored
dead.
The acting is good
as we have a talented cast.
We even have former celebrity Nancy
Allen whom we all knew in films like
Carrie and Poltergeist 3
and she still has her touch as
an actress and shows great energy and
emotions too.
Also there's Canadian actor Paul
Popowich as I saw him in the short
lived TV shows Catwalk and
the 1995 version of the Hardy
Boys as well as his popular Touched
By An Angel clone Twice
in a Lifetime as he was one of
the best actors in this film.... In fact
the best one I'd say. He is deceving but
very evil in his role and pulls it off
terrifically.
Also it's great to have John Franklin
returning as Isaac as his presence is
still terrifically performed like when he
performed in the first.
But wait! Another known celebrity, we
seem to have Steacy Keach in our main
cast as well and he does well as an
intimidating strange Doctor too!
Of course we have a very believeable
supporting role like William Prael
as he makes his role as a disturbed
patient seem extremely convincing as I
live near a skid row area and he seemed
to be performing just like that.
Lots of great bloody
moments as it looks so good.
There is a preacher with his throat
slashed and hung.
Another is cut in half
Eyeballs are gouged out by someone else
To top it off, a suicide happens as a
lady shoots herself in the head and
Isaac's fate is ran through by a broken
pipe.
Kari Skogland
seems to show neat touches with the film
but it's nowhere near as good as the
first one of course.
Theres great locations of the farm and
cornfield as well as the kids invading
the cornfield doing evil deeds like in
all of the films.
The scenes with Ramsey, Franklin,
Popowich and Allen
during the final sacrifice is greatly
directed too.
Teri Hudd composed
the music, Vladimir Horunzhy
did the additional score and Tim
Eilers was the co-composer as the
music seems to breeze through okay.
Gabriel:
You oughta know better, those things will
kill you.
Dr. Michaels: Why do you think I
do them?
Dr.
Michaels: Well if it isn't the
medical miracle!
Isaac: It was Hannah's touch!
Dr. Michaels: You leave that girl
alone!
Isaac: You didn't, You took her
from her mother!
Dr. Michaels: I took her from this
town, I was trying to give her a chance!
You're sick!
Isaac: Are you ready to pay for
you're actions?
Dr. Michaels: I've been paying for
them all my life! It's you're soul that's
gonna burn in hell!
Isaac: I don't have a soul!
