7/12: The last three words in the title of the sequel is The Final Sacrifice.

What final sacrifice are they talking about? Who's the final sacrifice? And for what? Danny the silly leader proclaims the world is watching them perform the ritual sacrifice. Yet it's only like...ten. Does he know there are over five billion people in the world, making them seemingly trivial in comparison? Perhaps it's time for him to take some remedial math classes.

After watching the show for a while, the filmmakers' laziness had become apparent. There are no reporters around? No full-blown investigation whatsoever? Where's the setting now: Gatlin or Hemingford? I couldn't tell. If there are carcasses around, the stink will be all over the place, yet nobody notices. The Indian dude is useless and dies rather easily. How about the old lady whose house got dropped on top of her? Concrete blocks are used to elevate it, but the machine is kept running all the time? I don't think so.

What is the relationship between Angela and Danny? Did she adopt him? And why? While the national reporter Garrett was snooping around for a story, I couldn't help but ask, "Is it so obvious?" He should've taken pictures of the children staring at the house and the mark along the side. It'll be simple enough, but nooo... Instead, Garrett decides to procure aid from his son and ask the town residents some weak questions while he's in a state of disbelief. He doesn't even notice that Danny has the makings of a cult leader.

The word "sin" is very popular. And so is "fornication." The look on Danny's face while he's screaming words and pointing out people who are defiling(???) the corn is overboard. Yeah, it's smart of the cop to put out a piece of cornstalk while allowing the monster harvester to run before leaving the scene. The two tied-up men escape anyway. On the other hand, why did the nitwits get out of the van during the middle of the twister?

All in all, Children of the Corny II: The Final Sacrifice is trash.
