Buyer Beware
Note, this is not a review of the movie itself but of the DVD.

I'm fairly certain that this one is a pirate, made by some eastern company known as "top ten media" (obviously not the main distributor of the CotC series). Unfortunately, this is also the only copy of this movie that is in region one; there's a region two set with this and the first CotC movie plus the third one, but beyond that it seems like CotC will never have an official release and if you want to see it you better kick it into high gear because this item may be uber rare in the near future.
The menu is lame, with only six options for scene selecting, the obviously photoshopped title and a button to play the whole thing, which only furthers my suspicions. I only wish I knew if my DVD player was multi-region or not, so I could just buy the UK box set and maybe the Argentinan sixth enstallment (apparently it has extra footage).
My advice: if you live in the US and you want to see every CotC film including this one, you may want to pick it up. Otherwise, just go with the UK set; it has commentary and a trailer, a lot more than this cheap conversion has. In fact, I may just have to purchase the UK set soon.

Actually, just get the VHS. This DVD has some footage cut from it that's present in the US VHS. So... you could be getting gyped.

Okay I really like this movie, a lot. Micah was my favorite leader. BUT This dvd SUCKS...... I agree with another reviewer this HAD to be a pirate version or something. The sound is horrible.... I had to have my tv all the way up to hear it, menu had six choices. It was just terrible version ALSO my box came broken. What a disappointment for such a good movie. So buyer beware.

CORNSTALKERS
The second in the never-ending saga of the children of the corn actually offers a little more gore and jolts than its predecessor. Terence Knox (Tour of Duty) plays a tabloid journalist who stumbled upon the story of the year when he arrives in Nebraska. The surviving children of the first movie are being herded off for adoption to a neighboring town, and Knox wants the story. He picks up with sexy Rosalind Allen as a bed and breakfast owner who has taken in Micah (Played with thespian vigor by Ryan Bollman). Knox also has along his estranged son (Paul Scheffer) who has not developed a good relationship with his father. Ned Romero shows up as an Indian anthropologist who helps Knox piece the puzzle together. Of course, nasty Micah is possessed by He Who Walks Behind the Rows" and leads the kids on a bloody rampage, murdering two nice old ladies (the ebullient Marty Terry), a doctor and a whole slew of adults in a town meeting. There's some kind of strange subplot about contaminated corn that supposedly supports the children's belief that man is ruining the earth; this subplot is never fully explained or resolved. Again we have an ending in the cornfield with the subterranean monster and the lunatic Micah spouting forth Biblical passages.
THE CHILDREN OF THE CORN series probably appeals on the base level that we love seeing children get their comeuppance; they certainly must have added some coins to Stephen King's coffer. Not a bad movie, and you'll find yourself wanting to find out what can possibly happen in III, IV, V, 666 and Revelation. Hmm...
