Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror

This one is the best so far, by far, it actually holds your interest unlike the other films with the exception of part III that holds your interest all the way up to the lamest ending of all times. Part V stays with it's farmlike and ccountrylike setting and is yet another story of a child who teaches about "He who walks behind the rows" (not rose for some of you calling it that) and he brings a bunch of kids ranging from 12-18 to serve "He who walks behind the rows" by killing the adults and anyone who will not join or threatens them, etc. There are 4 characters that we concentrate on all the way 'til the end of the movie which has the best ending in the series with more excitment muck like "Children Of The Corn II: The Final Sacrifice" 's ending. I won't spoil it for you but for once all this phsyco kids that follow him are gona get what they deserve. Part 6 in the series comes out 10/19/99 and will have the return of Issac (part 1) and hopefully will end the series because it is getting old, but if it's anything like this one fell free to make some more sequels. *** stars

New kid in the cornfield Adam Wylie (as Ezeekial) receives a blast of fire and becomes "Children of the Corn" leader. One year later, his gang kills an elderly couple, so the new cast can move in and start to struggle with the supernatural force. After some comic killings, the film focuses on four college students. The main star is Stacy Galina (as Allison), who has an actual connection to the "Children of the Corn" series in that her brother left home, saying he was going to join "He who walks behind the rows." Leading man is Alexis Arquette (as Greg). Convincing herein as a male character, Ms. Arquette has since changed her gender to female...

The second tier is model perfect looking Greg Vaughan (as Tyrus) and his likewise attractive love interest Eva Mendes (as Kir). The two couples go to scatter the ashes of their dead friend "Kurt" near the cornfield, which first appeared in Stephen King's story. How this relates to anything is a mystery unsolved. The four become stranded in town after an automobile mishap. In small roles, David Carradine and Fred Williamson add more dollars to their acting income. This is the fifth in a series of movies loosely based on his story. Out of ideas, the story simply recycles material from unrelated horror films. The familiar ending suggests more of the same.

**** Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror (6/21/98) Ethan Wiley ~ Stacy Galina, Alexis Arquette, Greg Vaughan, Eva Mendes

"Children of the Corn 5:Fields of Terror" is actually better than the following entry "Children of the Corn 666".The acting is pretty good and the cameos by Fred Williamson,David Carradine and Kane Hodder are nice to see.The pacing is decent and there's a bit of gore.So if you like slasher/splatter movies give this one a look-I still think that Fritz Kiersch's "Children of the Corn" is the best of the series!My rating:6 out of 10.

I first saw this in the late 90s on cable tv.

Revisited it recently.

This is the 5th in the series n it is fast paced n filled with lottuva body count n has some very known faces.

This movie is the feature film debut of Eva Mendes.

The movie also has David Carradine, Kane Hodder n Fred Williamson.

When the firefighter climbs up to extinguish the fire, the metallic railings break as if its wooden. Nice direction.

So much commotion happens n a guy doesn't hear a thing but busy repairing a car. Another good one.

Children of the Corn movies can get sooooooooooo annoying, but I didn't mind this one too much. Stacy Galina, Alexis Arquette, Eva Mendes, Greg Vaughan, Ahmet Zappa, and David Carradine were all pretty good. I also have seen Eva Mendes in Urban Legends: Final Cut, which is another recommended horror film. Anyways, this wasn't terrible, but was just in the middle. I give Children of the Corn 5: Fields of Terror a 7 out of 6 out of 10. :)
