Director: Ethan Wiley
1998
The fifth installment of the Children Of The Corn series came direct to video, but don't let that fool you into think it TOTALLY sucks. It comes from Dimension Studios who ruled the horror scene at the time with hits like Scream and Halloween: H20, not that this film compares to those two classics, but it does fare better than many low budget, independent horror films. Most of the film's blood, gore and kills come in the last half hour of the film.
Story: A group of teens get stranded in the small town of Divinity Falls but before they can find their way out, Allison discovers that her brother is alive in the town and has fallen in with a strange cult of kids who worship "He Who Walks Behind The Rows." The murderous cult is controlled by supernatural forces but the group of college kids stay to fight the forces of evil and attempt saving the children, or die trying.
GAY FACTOR: No gay characters or gay themes, this film's gay factor can be summed up in two words: Alexis Arquette. The now famous transgendered actress had a lead role in this film, years before her sex changing surgery. Here she plays the role of a male, Greg, but in the credits still uses her name of Alexis.
Cast Notes: Alexis Arquette can also be seen playing a heterosexual male character in the Child's Play sequel, Bride Of Chucky, which also features a different gay male lead character. Eva Mendes plays a lesbian in the horror film Urban Legends: Final Cut. Co-star Greg Vaughan had a bit role on an episode of Will & Grace. The film also features well known actor, David Carradine, and a small role by horror legend, Kane Hodder, best known for his portrayal of Jason in the Friday The 13th series.
