As I sat down to watch the 1995 horror movie "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" here in 2023, it was actually for the first time. Yeah, I didn't really have much of an interest in this franchise back in the 90s, so I never really got around to watching any of them, aside from the original 1984 first movie.
So as I had just sat through parts I and II, of course I opted to continue on and watch part III as well.
The storyline in "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest", as written by Dode B. LEvenson and Matt Greenberg, was somewhat different from the previous two movies, as in this taking place within an urban setting. Did it work? Well, both yes and no. Yes, in the sense that the movie was corny - pardon the pun - enough to actually be watchable. And no, because it didn't really feel like the previous two movies given the chance of scenery and setting.
The acting performances in "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" were fairly okay. I wasn't familiar with the majority of the cast ensemble, aside from Michael Ensign and Ed Grady.
Visually then "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" was okay. The effects are aging and it shows, but it worked out well enough, adding some cheesy charm to the movie.
However, I didn't really find the storyline all that great, to be bluntly honest, and thus my rating of "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest" lands on a four out of ten stars.
