Ask me again after the eighthChildren Of The Cornmovie as to whether this was a good idea or not.
The film then spun its wheels until its characters had caught up with their more knowledgeable viewers.
The second film works better by navigating that dramatic irony more successfully.
The central partnership that forms the entry into this homicidal and cornfield-obsessed world is also more effective.
Its here that the film starts to weaken from a reasonably strong first half.
And just like that, the plot point is dropped in favour of the supernatural.
Its a clunky diversion and one that doesnt feel all that necessary to where the film goes next.
The carefully coordinated death scenes also take a turn into the ludicrous.
Runaway combine harvesters are a bit too lumbering to feel anything other than silly.
Given the reputation of the sequels, I fear it may all be downhill from here.
Musicality:Daniel Lichts opening theme is a gorgeous piece of music.
Micah was clearly already a bit of a bad dude.
Join me next time, Constant Reader, forThe Dark Half.
