Cerny was brilliant

Children of the Corn III is one of my personal favorite horror films, the two brothers from Gatling are sent to foster homes in Chicago. The little brother, Eli (Daniel Cerney), who murdered his own father, is a disciple of the dreaded "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" and has brought a few corn seeds with him so his evil mentor will have a place to stay. The seeds grow and soon the demon is harvesting a fresh crop of recruits to do his murderous bidding. Daniel Cerny as Eli was one of the most evil characters I have ever seen in a horror movie he was great. Children of the Corn III was better than the rating it got, but those turned off by gore and bloodshed may want to stay clear of Children of the Corn III.
