Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995) - James D. R. Hickox

This one was only slightly better than the second instalment. It was nice that it was different from the previous two, in a different setting altogether. The actor who played Eli, Daniel Cerny, was the best thing about it, genuinely believable when possessed by He Who Walks Behind The Rows, and his speeches were very good pieces of monologue.

Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992) - David Price

Yeah, I bought the boxset of Children of the Corns so I'm hoping for at least one to be as good (if not, better) than the original. This one wasn't great. The deaths were cool, I suppose, but the teen angst lead was really irritating, as were most of the characters until the love interest entered the storyline: she was gorgeous.

Children of the Corn (1984) - Fritz Kiersch

I am a big fan of both this movie and the fourteen or fifteen page short story by Stephen King it is based on. A lot more gore would be necessary to make it more interesting and maybe a better end-of-film reveal of the villain (He Who Walks Behind the Rows) would be a definite improvement.
George Goldsmith did an excellent job on the screenplay, expanding the story to last for 90ish minutes.
