Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEva Mendes (Kir) first film role, and after watching it, she disliked her performance so much that she hired an acting coach. Mendes told the Toronto Sun: "When I saw it, I thought I was so bad. I was so ashamed. With that movie, obviously, you could only do so much, but I thought, 'If I'm going to do this, I'm going to do it right. I don't want to have to squirm when I see myself.' "
- GoofsWhen the two firemen try to put out the fire in the silo, their clothing burns, yet firemen wore flame-proof jackets at the time the film is set.

Featured review
Straying further from the source material...
Granted, despite now in 2023 being the first time for me to watch the 1998 movie "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" for the first time, I have to admit that I wasn't harboring much expectations. Why? Well, parts III and IV weren't exactly top of their game in terms of being entertaining. But still, as part of the "Children of the Corn" marathon, I am working my way through all the movies, and thus I got to part V.
Writer and director Ethan Wiley managed to move the franchise even further away from the essential core of the franchise, as established in parts I and II. So I have to say that "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" wasn't really an impressive or all that entertaining foray into the franchise. However, I am sure that the diehard fans of the franchise will enjoy this movie from writer and director Ethan Wiley.
Despite of having a mediocre storyline, I was impressed with the cast ensemble in this 1998 movie. There were a great number of familiar faces on the screen in bigger and smaller roles, with the likes of Eva Mendes, Fred Williamson, David Carradine, Gary Bullock and even Kane Hodder.
For a horror movie, I have to say that writer and director Ethan Wiley was deviating quite a lot from the source material. And "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" wasn't really a scary movie, not even remotely.
Having seen "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" now, I can tick it off of the list. However, I can in all honesty say that I am not returning to watch it a second time.
My rating of "Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror" lands on a four out of ten stars.
