Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest
Perhaps the most potent of all the Children of the Corn sequels, this third instalment gave an early role to future Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster/ Mad Max: Fury Road). With Nebraska cowering in fear at the thought of another child-led slice and dice revolution, two youngsters are adopted and taken to Chicago - where, it would seem, they are safe from any satanic influences! Alas, the opposite is true, and even big city life is revealed to be irrelevant to our clan of pint-sized psychopaths. Another winner, with a slow-burning sense of suspense and plenty of gory thrills and spills, Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest is a spook-fest that more than deserves its reappraisal.
