1999 - 82m.

First we must admire the "wit" of the person who came up with the idea of the "666" in the title (yes, that's sarcasm - but perhaps it's the most original thing here).

In a "enough already" sort of way, this sixth entry in the series tells of Hannah (Natalie Ramsey) who heads to the town of Gatlin to search for the identity of her mother only to get caught up with those corn god worshipping kids and the return of Isaac (John Franklin, who also co-scripted) who's out of a coma and wants to get Hannah to bear the child that will bring the corn god to Earth.

Indistinct sequel suffers from the same problem as most of the entries in this series, we just could care less about it. And though you get the feeling that screenwriters Franklin and Sulka wanted this to be a sequel to the original; they've certainly come up with a muddled script filled with way too much pseudo-religious babble and hints at incest.

Ramsey is certainly nice to look at but her character is reduced to having too many out-of-place visions and (in the finale) wandering around with a shocked look on her face.

Completely wimpy and with a particularly lame (and anti-climatic) finale. Even a pretty cool machete head split doesn't make this one worth it. Let it be over.
