OK. First of all the plot summary listed here about fbi agents and a serial killer is completely inaccurate. The story here is about some chick coming to this weird hotel to try and find her missing grandma..uh huh. Any-who grandma was the only survivor of a child cult that burned themselves and,and...yawn. I am a fan of the Children of the Corn movies , I find them silly fun with all that "He who walks behind the rows" talk, but you can add this to the terrible list along with "Urban Harvest" (pt.3) and "The Gathering" (pt.4). First off it is a must that these movies be set in corn fields! not a hotel with a patch of corn along the edge! Also this movie is only 82 mins long and it uses about all those minutes to establish that something weird is going on, that these freaky mute kids running around are not right in the head.. well DUH! And Wow was the lead chick dumb in this, even at the end of the movie I still don't think she had a clue about anything. This film lacks the cheese of part 2, the fun of part 5 and the art of part 6. It also lacks a hell of a lot more, but I ain't got that much time. I hope this series lives forever, so I better submit my script for part 8! If this one didn't kill it for good. One star out of Four

I watched this on DVD and the transfer is incredible, there really is some beautiful photography here and it looks 1000 times better than the vhs. I bought this hoping for a campy delight, what I got was a really slow moving flick with pert nary a strand of a story to follow. This thing needed to pick up the pace picante sauce and throw in something at least halfway intelligent to keep the viewers interest. This film has a lot going for it but nothing ever clicks. Anton Levay devil man advisor or whatever apparently knows less about satan than the black circle boys, that is to say I learned nothing about satanism and nobody else watching would either. Even when Borgnine sprouts a pair of horns it wasn't even funny in a cheesy way, it was just boring as hell. John Travolta is in the flick, at least that's what the box says! He is but he isn't for all intense purposes.. know wut i mean vern? Is the ending shocking or good? Um no. Keep luvin horror! Two stars out of Four

This is the most gloriously contrived flick I have ever seen. Dennis Hopper's character and his actions are laugh out loud funny. Man this is a so bad it is good flick in the truest sense. Hopper's inner monologues and Madsen's bad guy mugging for the camera make this silly, silly movie so much fun. Sit back and laugh at this laughable movie. Fun stuff!
