Children of the Corn: Revelation - 2001

 I put this on and I swear it just kinda leapt by.  I have to say I didn't feel its 82 minutes.

Revelation besides being biblical in sound means disclosure, or revealing something.  Hellraiser and CotC both have this as a name to one of their installments deep into the series as if now, seven movies into the series, we're finally going to learn something about the Children or perhaps He Who Walks Behind the Rows.  We don't learn anything new in this if you're wondering.

A woman is in search of her grandmother after being unable to reach her for a while.  She goes to the town in Nebraska where her grandmother lived and soon encounters creepy children who want to play violent video games and seem to disappear and reappear randomly.  Its fun to see the House of the Dead console game in this movie, damn do I miss arcade games.

Anyways, the woman gets mixed up with some strippers and other classic horror movie sequel characters like a yelling, abusive wheelchair bound neighbor, and soon enough people around her begin to die.  

On the Wiki for this thing, people bitch about its lack of scare or its plot holes.  Its the 7th film in the Children of the Corn movies guys.  This isn't Schindler's List.  I don't think its going for scares, which could be an issue, but its going for fun, and I'd say it succeeds.  Plot holes?  I mean, yeah, again,  going for fun.  Which is why it gets 3 fun, average stars.
