Goofs

Isaac has supposedly been in a coma for 19 years. However, when they show close-ups of his eyes in the beginning (still in a coma, more or less), he clearly has contact lenses in his eyes.

Why Had The Series Not Ended By Now?

Hannah goes back to her hometown (Gatlin) to find out who her mother is, but on the way she picks up a strange man who fore-shadows her life with a passage from the bible.

We have some talent here, namely Nancy Allen and Stacy Keach, but overall nothing much to speak of. But, at this point, I suspect the budget was so low they could barely afford craft services.

The trivia on IMDb says that John Franklin is the only actor to appear in more than one "Children of the Corn" movie. That is not true. Gary Bullock appeared in parts five and six, although as two different characters. I assume the writer meant "in the same role", but this was not made clear.

Now, that being said, for all the terrible things that could probably be written about this film (and many terrible things have), I have to give them credit for bringing back a character from a prior film -- and the original, no less! The franchise has an awful continuity (if the films all make sense in one universe, it is hard to say) so any attempt to fix that is appreciated.
