i loathe child of the corn and not only be it totally different from stephen king darker and unsettling short story and but it be also bore and not in the least scary . i have no interest in see the rest of the series a i figure if the first be horrible and how well could the rest hold up . however and just recently a friend give the first three to me so i think what the hell and i will watch them . first off and i think this child of the corn film be good than the first for a few reason and the major one be this be rather funny ( unintentionally of course ) . i find this one more interesting than the first due to the preacher be creepy this time and and there be some surprisingly cool ( and cheesy ) death which keep pace relatively even . the story be quite simple really and the massacre at gatlin be discover by the neighbour town hemingford . the child be adopt by the townspeople and everything seem peachy . at the same time and a reporter be try to uncover the story of the massacre while try to deal with his angry son . soon enough and the child have find a new preacher and and the adult of hemingford be all meeting grisly demise . yes and the story be clichéd and not at all good and but it be enough to keep the movie moderately interesting . the acting be pretty average from the entire cast and save one or two decent actor . the level of gore be increase from the first film and and it actually help this sequel a lot . i do not take this movie seriously and and i really do not think anyone should . just accept it a bad ( but improve ) entry to the child of the corn series . 1½/5 .
