Review of Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror (1998) by Ed B — 08 Oct 2009
More of the same formulaic medicine. Kids turn evil and prophetic over the infamous and always mysterious deity known as He Who Walks Behind the Rows. This entry has a slight advantage over the others for its massive array of known and popular talent within the cast including Alexis Arquette (still a male as this stage of his career) as one of the leads, Eva Mendez in an early role that questions why she became to popular, a couple of Zappa young'n's show up, as well as icons David Carradine (as the resident adult mid-level prophet leading the children, Fred Williamson (as the town sheriff who meets a gory demise), and the great Kane Hodder (also the film's stunt coordinator) as a bartender.
Most of the people in this die in slightly gruesome and gory deaths, which is nice, but it's mostly the same tried and true fare in this 5th entry to a steadily declining series. I will say this is the last decent one of the bunch.
