Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return Movie Download

8 / 10

Above average entry in the series
Hannah Martin (an appealing performance by the pretty Natalie Ramsey) returns to her remote rural hometown of Gatlin, Nebraska to find out who her mother is. While in Gatlin, malicious religious cult leader Isaac (John Franklin in fine sinister form) awakens from his coma and plans to use Hannah as a pawn in his quest to fulfill his evil prophecy. Director Kari Skogland, working from a dark and devious script by Franklin and Tim Sulka, relates the twisted story at a steady pace, adds a few nice unnerving touches (for example, the clock in the rundown hospital that’s stuck in place), delivers a handy helping of bloody gore, creates and maintains a strong spooky atmosphere of pervasive dread and unease, and concludes the movie on a bold ambiguous note. The weird kids are genuinely creepy while the ending manages to pull off a couple of surprising twists. The solid acting by the capable cast keeps the film on track: Alix Koromzay as loyal disciple deputy Cora, Paul Popowich as handsome and charismatic dissident Gabriel, Stacy Keach as wry boozy physician Doc Michaels, Nancy Allen as the bitter Rachel, and William Prael as muttering nut Jake. Richard Clabough’s golden-hued cinematography provides a striking bright look. Terry Huud’s shuddery score hits the spine-tingling spot. A cool fright feature.Read More
