  IMAX is a format designed to top anything that standard cinema can achieve. So five years after Jurassic Park here's the biggest wow-factor achievable with CGI dinosaurs, in less than half the screen time. The cute kid being ignored by her parents is Ally (Liz Stauber). Her dad is Palaeontologist Dr. Hayden (Thirtysomething's Peter Horton), and out at Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada he's just discovered what Ally theorises may be a T-Rex egg. The archaeological work is known as "digging into Deep Time". When she accidentally cracks the egg, Ally is suddenly propelled through a bone-strewn time warp. Floating through times surrounding the Cretaceous Era, she meets painter Charles Knight and then the "most famous bone digger in history", Barnum Brown. Both encourage her to pursue her theory of parental instincts regardless of anyone's indifference. With some impressive dinosaur scares, this is a fun if familiar ride.On the DVD: originally intended for 3-D viewing on the big screen, T-Rex is still effective shrunk to 1.33:1 widescreen. It's coupled with an excellent 5.1 Dolby sound mix that separates the roars nicely around the room. There's one trailer included, as well as a five-minute behind the scenes featurette with on-set interviews. --Paul Tonks

• Children Of The Corn | DVD | (16/10/2000) from £10.46   |  Saving you £-0.47 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  The murder rate is as high as an elephant's eye in Children of the Corn, a flaccid adaptation of Stephen King's short story. While driving through Nebraska en route to a new job, medico Burt (Peter Horton) and his wife Vicky (a pre-Terminator Linda Hamilton) nearly run over a mutilated boy who staggers from the cornfields. Seeking help, they enter the town of Gatlin, whose under-20 residents have butchered their parents per the decree of junior-grade holy-roller Isaac (John Franklin), who preaches the word of a being called "He Who Walks Behind the Rows". King's original story (from his 1978 collection Night Shift) was a lean and brutal mélange of Southern-Gothic atmosphere and EC Comics-style gore, which scripter Greg Goldsmith effectively neutralises by adding a youthful narrator (a grating Robbie Kiger) and putting an upbeat spin on the story's morbid conclusion. Fritz Kiersch's direction is TV-movie flat, with the sole inspired moment (hideous religious iconography glimpsed during a bloody "service") delivered as a throwaway. Aside from Horton and Courtney Gains (as Isaac's hatchet man Malachai), the performances are dreadful. The depiction of the monster-God as a sort of giant gopher inspires more laughter than terror. Amazingly, the film spawned six sequels; Franklin (Cousin It in the Addams Family films) later appeared in and wrote 1999's Children of the Corn 666.--Paul Gaita, Amazon.com

• Children Of The Corn 1, 2 and 3 Collectors Edition Pack | DVD | (12/08/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £24.99

  A box set that assembles the first three entries (of six, so far) in the Stephen King-derived minor horror franchise, Children of the Corn: The Collector's Edition puts three not-really-very-good horror pictures together into a fairly satisfying junk food platter than works okay as a demented four-and-a-half-hour miniseries. In the 1984 original, Linda Hamilton and her dead-loss husband are stranded in Gatlin, a small town in Nebraska where the children have formed a cult around the mysterious "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" and slaughtered all the adults. It has a certain creepy atmosphere in the early sections, but degenerates into a pointless run-around, with characters doing silly things that get them into further peril. Strangely, the sequels play better. In the 1992 The Final Sacrifice, a journo and his estranged son show up to delve into the Gatlin story, and one of the surviving cultists reorganises the gruesome business, with a few special effects hints that give a bit more form to the monster villain. And the 1994 Urban Harvest has another Gatlin kid adopted by a Chicago commodities broker and raising a patch of sinister corn in a backlot; this has a no-name cast and the usual dumb script, but make-up man Screaming Mad George stages some impressively gruesome stuff with a killer scarecrow and murderous cornstalks before finally bringing "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" on-screen as a Thing-ish vegetable monster whose rampage provides this set with something like a big finish. Incredibly, there are three more Corn sequels out there, presumably saved for a follow-up collection. On the DVD: Children of the Corn: The Collector's Edition's first film is in 16:9 anamorphic, though the original elements aren't in pristine condition and the soundtrack is mono; the 4:3 full screen sequels look sharper and have stereo to show off the Omen-like chanting scores. The only extras are "theatrical trailers", though parts two and three almost certainly didn't play in any theatres. --Kim Newman
