Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)
Eli, a refugee from the original corn cult of Gatlin relocates to Chicago with his step brother. Once there Eli intends to resurrect 'He who walks behind the rows' by planting a new crop in the city with corn brought along from Gatlin.
Easily the best of the series, the film incorporates high school drama into the already fairly worn premise which nicely reinvents things. Director James Hickox (son of horror veteran Anthony) knows how to build suspense and generate shocks on a low budget whilst building to an unhinged and bloody final reel in which shit really hits the fan.
