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 Gatlins 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.

Our lookbacks at the screen adaptations of Stephen King land at Children Of The Corn 2...
One of the more interesting aspects of these revisits so far has been how the sequels to different films have adapted to work without source material from Stephen King (Creepshow 2 aside). Mostly, they’ve not worked very well, but the Children Of The Corn franchise seems very determined to see if it can succeed in its seven further instalments. I like a challenge and have a morbid curiosity when it comes to these movies so I shall be watching all of them. Ask me again after the eighth Children Of The Corn movie as to whether this was a good idea or not.

Picking up directly where the first film left off, the murdered bodies of the adults have been discovered and all the kids have been moved to a neighbouring town where they continue their reign of terror.
Unnecessary, but competently executed sequel, with some picturesque cinematography, is an improvement over the original simply because the film has an understanding that the material is trashy and plays up to that aspect. Forget about character depth or substance. This isn't what this film is about! Instead, Children of the Corn II is a guilty pleasure all about the cheap thrills! And it certainly delivers with plenty of cheap thrills throughout as the title children of the film find all kinds of creative and grisly ways to murder the adults of the film highlighted by some fine...
