 Good For Me...just kind of stupid at some points. November 8, 2009
Ghoste Kruegar x (Maryville,TN)
I recently saw this part by part on Youtube and..i just....(sigh). Its not that bad a movie in my opinion and its plot is downright cool. I thought it was kind of funny how its in the city and that kid eli is seriously demented! and this movie did indeed scare the crap outta me.The only part i can safely say i thought was downright stupid was the ending. The part where the "monster" picks up that girl, it looks like a doll! it IS a doll!you can totaaly tell. But anyway if you are thinking about buying this (and if you dont mind a stupid ending)u should give it a try. I am collecting this bad ending or not. for me it is still a somewhat good movie and i am trying to collect the whole series.Go children of the corn!! It is kind of like the TCM:next generation of the children of the corn series i would like to mention.The end-
Children of the Cheese April 28, 2009
M. Ryan Fairbanks (Cleveland, Ohio)
You gotta love some of these Children of the Corn sequels. They try so hard to establish the series as a profitable horror franchise, yet never manage to be anything but deliriously cheesy b-movies that further taint the series' reputation. This third installment in the series, Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest, is probably the best one to watch just for some good laughs. It finds that perfect balance between being so bad it's hilarious, and being so bad that it's...Well, just plain bad. From the minute the opening credits start rolling with some over-the-top evil choir music chiming in, any vague desire to take this movie seriously will quickly dissipate into thin air.
Urban Harvest tells the tale of two brothers: Eli, the newest corn deity fanatic who preaches in the name of "he who walks behind the rows", and his older brother Joshua who isn't really into the whole thing. After Eli decides to dispose of their infidelic father one evening, the brothers are shipped off to live with an upper class couple in the city and attend the toughest inner-city Catholic school around. Naturally this presents some changes for the boys to adapt to, but Eli wastes little time as he begins sowing his evil corn seeds in the deserted lot next door, providing some new stomping grounds for he who walks behind the rows. Eli also launches himself into popularity at school by converting his fellow students into new legions of corn worshipping cultists. When his older brother Joshua notices Eli's evil plans materializing, he sets out to put a stop to the madness resulting in a confrontation with he who walks behind the rows himself.
As far as the CotC sequels go there is one thing you can always rely on, and that would be the amusingly farfetched death scenes. Urban Harvest lays these on pretty thick too, we have a head bursting into flames complete with melting flesh, a decapitation with a super long spinal cord trailing behind, and an ultra gory finale. This movie also features one of the most notorious, and hilarious instances of terrible special effects ever when during the finale, a creature lifts what is clearly a Barbie doll off the ground and proceeds to eat it. This scene alone warrants a viewing of this movie.
Children of the Corn 3: Urban Harvest is a horror flick loaded with enough cheesy gore, badly dated CGI effects, and unintentional comedy to provide a solid 90 minutes of entertainment. It's also one of the CotC series' best installments in general, though that isn't saying a whole lot. Recommended for fans of campy horror.
Kids Worship The Darndest Things! April 3, 2009
Mark Eremite (Seoul, South Korea)

He Who Walks Behind The Rows is back, bigger and badder (and weirder) than ever. The first two films in this series disappointed me by jumping straight to the parts of the stories where children decide to start dispatching of adults. This time, however, the agricultural monstrosity must rely on his newest prophet, the cute-as-a-button Eli.
The movie actually has a strong start, as Eli and his brother-by-adoption, Joshua, escape the clutches of their alcoholic farmer father. The two kids are adopted by an upwardly mobile couple in Chicago, and Eli wastes no time in converting the local population into his weird brand of Ultra-Violent Environmental Satan Worship.
Eli's preaching gets old fast (like most kinds of preaching, if you ask me) as he screams about purity and adults polluting the Earth. But as he (and his uber-corn) set about getting rid of those who stand in the way, the film achieves actual scares (although most of the time it's just gross). Eli's adopted parents just happen to live next to a massive, abandoned factory. "It's dangerous there," the father says, which is why he has erected a tiny wooden fence four feet away from the factories looming brick walls. It seems like mostly a symbolic gesture, but his heart is in the right place.
Unfortunately, in spite of some pretty nasty effects and unsettling deaths (who knew a human spine was over eight feet long?), the movie succumbs to stupid theatrics in the last half of its final act. Finally, we are treated to an up-close-and-personal look at HWWBTR, and it's mostly just silly. Pay close enough attention, and you'll get to see Charlize Theron in her first theatric role as a woman who is horribly, horribly violated by Eli's Cob King. (You'll also see several extras laughing as they are killed, and the disgusting deaths of at least two different Barbie dolls.)
Oh, well. At least it's amusing. Scarier and funnier than either of the films that came before it, URBAN HARVEST doesn't really do King's story any justice, but it's fun for a nauseating chuckle or two.
One of the best... March 5, 2009
Terry E. Koebrich (Danville, ILL.)
Ths is one of the best horror movies I've seen. Great special effects at the end.
Best of The Series! February 6, 2009
Kaelan
This children of the corn is deffinatally the best of the series. it has great acting, a great plot and all of the rest.I really enjoyed watching this movie cause it actually makes sense.Most of the movie makes sense anyways. the only two parts that didnt make sense were the seen were Joshua and malcolm were driving in the car. They drove from Chicago, illinois to ???,Nebraska spent time there and drove back all in the same night??? Thats a long drive! it would take atleast 2 to 4 days to do all of that! come on that doesnt make any sense and the other part that did'nt make any sense was at the end where that big monster comes up from beneath the ground.now come on guys,does that have anything to do with "Children of The Corn"? now, on the other hand if it was called monsters of the corn, then it would make complete sense! But overall,this was a really enjoyable movie, and it is deffinatally worth the time, so you should tottaly check it out.
