I recently watched Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return (1999) on MAX. The storyline follows a young woman who discovers her biological mother is from Gatlin. She heads to Gatlin to uncover the mystery of her past. Meanwhile, Isaac has awakened from a coma and is back in Gatlin as well.
This film is directed by Kari Skogland (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and stars Natalie Ramsey (Cherry Falls), Stacy Keach (Escape from LA), John Franklin (Children of the Corn), Gary Bullock (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me), and Nancy Allen (RoboCop).
The settings and backdrops were the only things that worked for me in this film. The premise feels lazy and forced. Isaac's return didn't feel authentic and seemed like an excuse to make another Children of the Corn movie. The cinematography and acting are of television caliber, and I kept waiting for a good kill that never came. The "Isaac dungeon" was just another bad idea they snuck into this picture.
In conclusion, Children of the Corn 666: Isaac's Return is another poor addition to this series. I would score it a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.
