How Children of the Corn: Revelation scares
There's a cheap, slightly disorienting feel to this one, like a low-budget haunted-building movie more than a cornfield horror flick. It leans on jump scares and creepy kids popping out of dark hallways rather than any deep sense of dread. The threat is spiritual and cult-like rather than a human killer, and the whole thing plays more silly than scary once you settle into it. It's the kind of movie horror fans watch for so-bad-it's-fun value, not for anything that sticks with you afterward.
On The Horror Database's 0–5 scare profile, Children of the Corn: Revelation rates psychological 2/5, visceral 3/5, gore 2/5, lingering effect 1/5, and overall intensity 2/5.
