Taking the story away from the small rural town of Gatling was a smart move, as the third instalment of the Corn series plays out like the thriller that the first one was meant to be. Daniel Cerny is excellent as the evil brother Eli Porter, being hands down the best in the long line-up of evil child cult leaders. Unfortunately, this all comes unstuck because of the film's tiny budget and straight to video standards. The unevenness of the special effects become obvious, even annoying, during the last 20 minutes. The films finale a ridiculous looking giant monster, sees a B+ telemovie turn into Z grade crap (complete with blue screen matted monster and Barbie dolls being eating by the dozens). Besides the disappointing ending, COTC 3 is not a bad entry into a pretty below average series.
