Part 7 in the "COTC" series. You would think after part 6, we'd finally be getting somewhere with more info on he who walks. However, what we get in this one is a backstory dealing with a cult that existed 60 years ago from the year 2001 which means they were around way before Isaac&Malichis cult. This gives us more exposition in the fact that now we know he who walks has been around for much longer than at first believed. However, after that revelation, that subject is no longer touched. The films basic premise is that Jamie (played by Claudette *foxxy as hell* Mink), arrives at a condemed run down tenement building, the last known address of her grandma. Seems nana hasn't answered Jamies calls in two weeks, so shes worried. After searching her place, and finding nothing, she goes to ask a cop for help. He really doesn't wanna be bothered, so he gives her a pat on the head, and sends her on her way. Jamies first encounter with the kids takes place on a elevator. The kids give her the usual cold stare down, and despite 3 attempts to strike up a convo with them, the kids don't respond. Throughout the film, the kids basically stalk Jamie, while eliminating every remaining tenant in the building. Oddly enough, once they have claimed a victim, or have marked a victim to be next, they put a cornwreath on their door. The deaths are pretty odd as well. Our first victim, a stoner at the wrong place at the wrong time, gets tossed off the roof.
The stripper gets attacked in her bathtub by evil corn vines which
really incidentally were able to kill her because of something she did while bathing. The foul mouthed war veteran in the wheelchair gets rolled off of a balcony. Funny thing about these movies is that theres never really anyone who can stop the kids. In this one, theres a gun nut dude, who has an arsenal of guns at his disposal. Problem is, he has a bad heart, so he dies of a stroke brought on by the corn kids near the end. After people keep dissappearing every hour almost, our red haired heroine still hasn't thought about getting her ass out of dodge because shes so concerned about finding grandma. The cop eventually decides to help her after she makes a return visit to him. However, he just lays the exposition on her about the cult 60 years ago, yada yada. A mysterious priest who we see in the film popping up off and on finally shows up at the end to tell us what exactly the hell is going on. He tells Jamie that the cult 60 years ago was about to be shut down by the cops, so the kids commited a fiery suicidal death. However, Jamies grandma decided she didn't wanna be a crispy critter, so she escaped the tent fire. Her grandma gave birth to a daughter, who then went on to have Jamie. He who walks behind the rows sees this as a betrayal, and now has sent the leader of the cult 60 years ago, Abel, back from hell to wipe out Jamie, who is the last of her bloodline now that grandma was run over by a train (seen in flashbacks), and Jamies mom died in a house fire a few years back. The main word in this film seems to be fire, and based on the cops findings, it is strongly hinted that he who walks was the one who took out Jamies mom and her grandma. The priest also tells her that hes been trying to get the message about he who walks out to others, and that he doesnt have alot of time left (this hints at two things). He also tells her her grandma is dead, but her soul has been used as a catalyst to revive her childlike form from 60 years ago. Despite the priests warnings, Jamie sticks around, and the kids capture her, and take her to Abel. A chase ensues after she escapes, and ends in a showdown in the hallway between her and the kids in a dangerous situation where the kids have turned on every gas stove in the building planning to kill Jamie with fire as they did her mom and tried to do her grandma. Jamie takes a corn wreath, lights it on fire, and hurls it at a gas stove which causes an explosion. Abel survives the explosion, but Jamie escapes to the elevator but only to get downstairs and be attacked by giant vines. The cop shows up to save her right before the building explodes.
All in all, it's a decent sequel, but loses points from me because it doesn't further the story from part 6 too much. The reason it's called revelations is because of a few things...
Jamie learns a secret about her family
We find out what the kids do with the adults once they've take their lives. (This also explains how in some of these films, we only see 3 kids, but later on it's 12 or more).
The priest reveals to Jamie he who walks behind the rows is actually the devil.
As for the priest, when he said he doesnt have alot of time left, he could've meant 2 things.
A. He was dying in his old age, or B. He who walks was planning on being reborn to earth through Hannahs kid which was possessed by he who walks at the end of part 6, signaling a hell on earth sort of deal. According to the actual bible, Revelations is the chapter which signals hell on earth.
Really stupid things about this movie...
When Jamie tosses the flaming wreath, it blows up one room. Yet, by every law of physics, gas seeping throughout an entire building, one spark would blow the entire building up. Then again, Abel did have powers, so it's possible he held the fireball back until he was ready for Jamie to die.
Why kill everyone in the building when Jamie was the intended target? This only gave her time to escape and figure out the whole story.
Note to ANY horror movie writer, when a person is tossed off a roof, make sure they get impaled on something.
Strange thing about this movie is a little girl is on the box, giving the impression that she plays a key role in the films plot. However, this is not the case, this girls character is only seen twice in the film, and shes basically irrelevant to the story.
