Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest

In the rural expanse of Gatlin, Nebraska, brothers Joshua and Eli find themselves hiding in a cornfield from their abusive father. As their father approaches wielding a scythe, Eli takes a brave stand against him, leading to a fateful encounter that will change their lives forever.

Eli, clutching an ancient pagan Bible, calls upon the dark power of 'He Who Walks Behind the Rows' to exact vengeance on their father. This act transforms the father into a grotesque scarecrow, sealing Eli's fate with dark magic.

After the tragic events, Joshua and Eli are placed in foster care with William and Amanda Porter in Chicago. The cultural differences are stark and unsettling as the brothers struggle to adjust to their new life amidst skepticism from their foster family.

Feeling out of place in their new surroundings, Eli stealthily escapes the Porters' home one evening. He takes his cherished suitcase filled with corn to an abandoned factory where he invokes the malevolent presence of 'He Who Walks Behind the Rows' again.

As Eli casts corn seeds upon the desolate ground at the factory, they quickly germinate and grow at an unnatural pace. This act marks the beginning of Eli's dark influence spreading into Chicago, hinting at the chaos to follow.

The next day, while at school, Eli's frustrations mount as he nearly gets into a brawl with Joshua's classmate, T-Loc. His anger grows as he observes his peers indulging in life’s comforts, fueling his desire to unleash the darkness once more.

In a desperate bid, Eli decides to transport the dark presence of He Who Walks Behind the Rows to the heart of the city. This horrific decision culminates in a violent death of a homeless man, signaling the catastrophic influence of Eli’s actions.

Amanda Porter begins to grow suspicious of Eli's increasingly erratic behavior as she attempts to reclaim control over the unnatural cornfield. Her efforts are met with unforeseen resistance, as the plants seem to protect their dark secret.

In a frantic attempt to escape the dangers surrounding Eli, Amanda suffers a tragic accident when she trips and falls, resulting in her death. This event leaves a haunting reminder of the mysterious forces at play within Eli’s cornfield.

William Porter becomes enamored with the unexplained fertility of Eli's cornfield, viewing it as an opportunity for financial success. Unbeknownst to him, the corn has sinister effects, leading him toward a warped reality and loss of agency.

As Eli exerts his influence, he begins subtly manipulating his classmates. Their minds fall under a blissful spell created by the corn, leading to a chaotic and dangerous atmosphere within the school, reflecting Eli's tightening grip on reality.

Joshua uncovers the horrifying truth about Eli’s dark past and his gruesome deeds, which include the slaughter of individuals he once respected. Determined to stop him, he teams up with Malcolm to confront Eli's growing menace.

Joshua and Malcolm venture back to the ominous cornfield in Gatlin to face Eli's evil once and for all. They confront a resurrected version of their father, leading them into a terrifying showdown that tests their resolve.

In a climactic battle, Joshua confronts the monstrous entity known as 'He Who Walks Behind the Rows.' He targets its vulnerable roots, seemingly vanquishing the beast and managing to rescue the remaining students trapped in its grasp.

As the nightmare draws to a close, a shipment of Eli's cursed corn arrives in Germany, suggesting that the horrors unleashed by Eli in Chicago may soon extend beyond borders. This ominous finale hints at a global catastrophe just waiting to unfold.
