Children of the Corn: Genesis formerly (Children of the Corn: The Dweller) is the eighth or ninth movie to date (who’s counting?). I’m still not sure exactly where in the vast mythology this takes place, and I don’t think it really matters. The only major connection it has with the series is a 1970′s-set opening sequence, which sees a Vietnam vet returning to his hometown outside of Gatlin to find it overrun by those creepy homicidal kiddies.
The story then jumps forward to modern day, where we find pregnant couple Allie and Tim lost on a deserted California road after their car breaks down. Since this is a horror film, the only thing around is a dilapidated farm shack owned by a super-creepy preacher (Drago) and his Russian mail order bride (Nedeljakova). They decorate the inside of their home with crucifixes and have no modern conveniences, save for a giant flat screen TV and digital camera that’s ominously set up in front of the couch. If that wasn’t weird enough, there are strange noises coming from a small compound by the outhouse and the housewife immediately starts making sexual advances. Against their better judgment, Tim and Allie shack up for the night and waste no time in disobeying the preacher’s orders not to go snooping around. A few morbid discoveries later and the couple find themselves stuck in the house, trying to survive the night, when they’re assaulted by vague psychic forces.
The film is written and directed by low-budget sequel king Joel Soisson, whose previous films include Pulse 2 and 3 and some Prophecy entries (he also produced Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, which grants him life-long immunity from criticism). And while his script relies on the oldest of horror formulas, the biggest surprise is how this installment actually held my attention from beginning to end.
