Jaime Pressly is the only feature here
Jaime Pressly is a knockout, but that's about as far as the movie goes for interest. She's a young woman who returns to a home where her mother had an affair with the father of a family when Jaime was a child. Supposedly her mother's life was ruined by the family after the affair was compromised and Jaime holds the family responsible. So she's up to some evil tricks for revenge. It's fairly erotic and Jaime Pressly is worth seeing. Not a lot of difference between the "R" and "Unrated" version (both available on the same DVD). What's hilarious is the "letterbox" mode that only imposes black bands on the upper and lower sections of the screen, there's no actual change in the ratio of the screen, except that the upper and lower sections are covered to create a letterbox format. Best to watch in the full-screen mode.

A sexy, fun movie
I was incredibly surprised by this movie. After having endured and zapped countless, boring Cinemax-like erotic thrillers, it was great to see one that is extremely sexy, intelligent, witty and fun. Jaime Pressly is absolutely stunning as the girl out to avenge her mother. Her performance is also outstanding, a great balancing act between being a teenager, a femme fatale, but all this done in a tongue in cheek way. By the way, her nude scenes are jaw dropping.
The movie also has fun with itself, playing with many of the genre's clichés. All in all, a great surprise.
The DVD contains the R-rated and unrated versions, as if anybody would want to see an R-rated version. It contains no extras. It would have been great to have seen behind the scenes footage and interviews with the cast and director. Still, a great buy.

Greg and Jamie
Greg Vaughn was so hot in this movie. His facial expressions and body are great. He doesn't look too hot now on GH, bad casting for character Lucky Spencer :( Jamie is soo hot. She has a great body. In this movie you get to see Jamie and Greg nude!

The joke is on me
Picked up a used copy of this DVD and didn't look carefully--I fully assumed I was taking home the original "Poison Ivy" with Drew Barrymore and Sara Edwards. As I now know, this edition of "Poison Ivy" brings the Violet character (lovely Jaime Pressly) into the lives of banker Michael Des Barres (Ivan) and tennis star Megan Edwards (Joy), who's eager to please a hard to please dad. Violet is returning to her childhood home a decade into the future and carries considerable baggage from her past--which is intertwined with the aforementioned characters.

Although the first "Poison Ivy" wasn't exactly "Citizen Kane," it did feature fine performances by Barrymore and Edwards. Not in this bomb, however. There's nothing mysterious whatsoever about this flick--it's clear that Pressly is on her way to seducing and/or killing each member of the family. This is supposed to be an erotic flick, but because there's nothing remotely sexy in Violet's mannerisms and actions, the sex scenes are ice cold. Eventually the maid gets wise to Violet, but it's too late for her. Ditto for Joy's boyfriend (whom Violet has already seduced). Ditto, eventually, for Ivan (whom Violet has already seduced). But what's truly ridiculous is the ending. There's no point in going into it--suffice it to say that it makes no sense whatsoever and completely sinks this wretched film.

There are rabid five-star reviews for this film, and I have no doubt that most of them came from the enjoyment of Jaime Pressly in the buff. I understand--but it is possible, guys, to make good movies with steamy sex scenes. Takes good directing and acting. This has neither.

Oh, yeah--if it's worth anything to you, you can watch both the R-rated version and the unrated version on this DVD.

DAMN!
I didn't give this movie five stars for Oscar-winning performances. Yes the cast does do an okay job, but Jaime Pressly's flawless body steals the show. Like I said, DAMN! So, if you're looking for a deep, thought-provoking movie look esle-where, but if you wanna see a great T&A flick this is the one. ... Read more

boring...
This is probobly the 2nd to worst out of the whole 7 movies. It just aint creepy or wierd enough like "COTC 1" and "COTC 4" They have an adult co-leader and child leader that is about 12 or 13. All the rest of the kids are anywhere between 15-17 years old. This movie didnt show any of thier cult meetings and there was just too much gore in this film, which really was boring cause it was the same kids that killed. If you want to see a decent COTC movie with the kids and the gore, you need to get either "COTC 2" or "COTC 4" They have more of the little kids in it killing or doing thier cult stuff. But this movie was just not needed for the series.

Decent but but not needed.
It goes back and forth in this series. it goes from good(the first) to horrible(2nd) to bad(3) back to good, then down to decent. This movie doesnt follow the series at all. Yeah it involves "he who talks behind the rows." but what too much is changed in this one. For one, There is a adult leader. Yeah he isnt the main leader but still he is one of the leaders in the movie. second, why is it that there are plenty of adults running around through the movie. If i watched the first and 2nd correctly, the whole belief they had was that they needed to get rid of the adults.Yet in this one, there is a whole town full of people. Also, help me understand the point of having a goofy ... looking actor like the one they had to play the main girls b/f. I almost went nuts watching that .... crack stupid jokes and what is with his half goatee. Would anyone out there really decide to kill themselfs just to kill 2 of the kids. Imean come on. he stole the weapons from them and still decided to blow himself up. I will say that it got 3 stars from me cuz the story behind it is original and isnt just lets do the same thing as the first but with more killing and blood (COTC 2). The movie follows a group of college students whose car goes into a ditch and they have to go into town to get help. they miss the bus and decide to stay in some creepy abandoned house and thats when it all starts. And also, if these people are college kids, are we really suppost to believe that the girl that offers herself to the monster is only 18? cuz she said she was. If you like this series then watch this movie cuz it is one to see and keeps ur attention and is fun to watch.Just a warning though. If you are into this series just to see a large number of killings and blood then this one u wont like. There arent too many people killed (maybe 5 or 6) so be ready.

Parental Rule #1: Avoid CornFields
Back to the cornfields with He Who Walks Behind the Rows for another installment of guess with adult's in trouble now. That's right, here's yet another installation in the saga of He Who Preys Upon the Young, this time showcasing the plights of a few rather unfortunate young adults as they wander into the stalking fields. It begins as two cars toting six unwary occupants near a small town where their friend, a victim of an "accidental bungee cord jumping" demise, wanted his ashes to be spread. As these city-dwellers move closer and closer to the prize, however, they blunder into the hands of some rather unfriendly youths looking for some time, and folks they don't seem to appreciate, to kill.

Its strange to say that, in watch the Children of the Corn sequels, I've found very few things captivating and yet I still harrowingly press onward. I'm not certain why that is or what the call the cornfield actually has on a soul, but I know that many of these movies, such as this one, are in the realms of basic bloody entertainment don't reach the pinnacles of enjoyment that I sometimes strive for. There were moments of wonderful brutality in the movie, with many a body (outstretched arm, unwisely placed head) meeting the edge of some very sharp harvesting utensils, and there were a few moments that seemed to have that special something to give a person that had been traveling the rows for a while. Still, as it pressed into the faith matters and the principles that had been secured deep into this viewing mind since the onset of the series, I found my mind impatient and mentally wandering, looking for something akin to a horrific manifestation to make everything all right. This sadly never came, though, and I found myself with only some blundering antics thrown into the midst of some gargantuan fields to keep me company, chasing it all with some very angry, sometimes easy-on-the-eyes (at least in one instance) youthful hostiles on their heels.

If you've pressed this far into the fields and made it through some of the very bad sequels, then this won't be as wretched of a taste as some of the others you've found. You'll find yourself laughing at some of the cheap effects, though, and noting that David Carradine makes a very good chair-bound mouthpiece, plus you should like some of the deaths (even a certain entertaining Zappa appears therein) as they paint the screen with blood. This is why I, for some reason or another, give it a 3.2 on the 5 star list, because I've been worse places and appreciate the offerings made. Still, if you haven't made it this far, I wouldn't suggest taking on such a hefty task of moving this far up the ladder, mostly because the beast inside the silo is bound to disappoint you as much - although the ironies in the ending might make you nod your head and laugh.

Good Sequel
Okay I'll admit it. The first was hands down the best movie in the seires. But this film is the best sequel in the seires so far... part 8 is on its way. This one wasn't just and excuss to make a gory cut em' up movie like 2 and 3, and wasn't pure cheese like part 4, and part 6 and 7 where just hands down confussing and boring. If your a fan of the original this is the one sequel you need to see.

I saw the average score and said OH MY GOD!
Whatever you do, don't buy this film. Its boring, the plot's stupid and only 5 people die in it. 5!!! Utter trash.
P.S. Its so stupid that the heroine can destroy the "evil hell-fire" with some petrol and a few old sacks! ... Read more

Description

Stuart Bliss has everything one man could want, a good job, a big house in San Fernando Valley, a beautiful wife and a shiny red BMW. Everything, that is, except his sanity. After his frustrated wife abruptly walks out on him, Bliss's mind slowly slips into a muddled mixture of conspiracy fantasies, apocalyptic visions and rampant paranoia. Stuart, deftly portrayed by Michael Zelniker (Bird) watches helplessly as his television set becomes possessed, religious zealots surround him and his favorite cream soda turns radioactive. Walking the thin line between psychological terror and absurdist comedy. Director Neil Grieve's claustrophobic visual style vividly captures Stuart's unfolding as he quietly confront the complex issues of privacy, identity and religion with compassion and grim humor in this truly original black comedy. ...
