Children of the Corn II: the Final Sacrifice (1992) (USA)

aka Deadly Harvest

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


A journalist and his shitty teenage son investigate that creepy-ass Nebraska town of Gatlin after the grim discovery of over fifty dead folks. With only children surviving and stating they “saw the corn”, folks are left scratching their heads. The surviving couple from the first outing alerted authorities to the cult activity but that just isn’t supplying enough answers. The father and son set up at a bed and breakfast in the neighboring town of Hemmingford run by a bowl-cut-rocking young woman, she’s also supplying shelter for the obviously evil teenage Micah. Danny (aforementioned shitty teen son) befriends Micah, who is possessed by He Who Walks Behind the Rows, and comes under his influence. It helps that super HAWT Lacey is showing Danny some affection. Soon all those kids are up to their old evil ways and the adults of Hemmingford have themselves a secret that ties into the massacre in Gatlin and is also putting a big target on their dumb asses. A Native American professor shows up to fill our hero in on what’s going on but with a level of sarcasm that makes it less offensive than usual. Some poor dude gets his throat slit by a cornstalk, another schmuck gets impaled by one, a justifiably cranky old broad is crushed by her house (of course it tips a hat to Wizard of Oz because it would be offensive if it didn’t), some unfortunate sap hemorrhages out durning Sunday worship thanks to Micah’s whittling and Micah’s remote control skills allow him to take command of an elderly woman’s wheelchair, ruining a game of bingo in the best way possible. There’s unappealing sweaty sex, corn conspiracies, plenty of stupid violence that kicks ass as it brings on fits of giggles and a better grasp of the ridiculous (not to mention a way less serious vibe) than the prior entry, allowing this one to offer way more enjoyment.
