Children of the Corn 5: Field of Terror
USA 1998. Director: Ethan Wiley
Cast: Stacy Galina, Eva Mendez, Fred Williamson, David Carradine

Why do Stephen King keep lending his name to these movies? There should be some way for him to stop them from using it. Six college students are having an engine brekadown in Divinity Falls, a little small town ruled by an evil sect run by David Carradine and an army of cute little bastards (that's children). This fifth entry is slightly more watchable than some others in the series, but only because it has a slightly better cast. Fred Williamson never disappoints (here as a tough sheriff whose head cracks), David Carradine does what he does best (sitting in a chair looking old and wise) and Eva Mendez went on to better parts (like Training Day) after this. Okay for a 80 minute timewaster, competently directed by House 2 helmer Ethan Wiley, but this series should have been aborted a long time ago.
