A couple months ago, we shined a spotlight on the 1984 Stephen King adaptation Children of the Corn for an episode of our Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series (you can watch that video HERE). Now we’re taking a look at the 1992 sequel Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (watch it at THIS LINK) for an episode of The Black Sheep! To hear what we had to say about Children of the Corn II, check out the video embedded above.
Directed by David Price from a screenplay by A.L. Katz and Gilbert Adler, Children of the Corn II has the following synopsis:
The neighboring town of Hemingford has discovered not only the gruesome massacre of Gatlin’s entire adult population, but also the orphaned children who refused to participate in the human sacrifices. The once quiet Midwestern town is jolted into activity as a barrage of media reporters descend upon it. Among them is tabloid reporter John Garrett who is hoping to save his career by breaking the story on the bizarre murders. Traveling with Garrett is Danny, his defiant 19-year-old son. Garrett arranges for him and Danny to stay at a local bed and breakfast, also home to the orphaned Micah. Micah soon becomes the leader of the resurrected corn cult, and under the influence of the mythic He Who Walks Behind the Rows, more adults die horrible, violent deaths. Sensing that Danny is at odds with his father, Micah tries to lure him into joining the cult.
The film stars Terence Knox, Paul Scherrer, Ryan Bollman, Christie Clark, Rosalind Allen, and Ned Romero.
The Black Sheep series features different takes on horror films that the masses or/and critics didn’t care for but that we found merit in. We defend horror movies that deserve more love!
This episode of The Black Sheep was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Brandon Nally, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
