Children of the Corn IV the Gathering-Dimension DVD
This is the second of the series to get released straight to video. Starring a very young Naomi Watts and Karen Black ,CotC IV seems to be completely unrelated to the previous entries in the series. But it has been revealed that in a deleted scene we find out the connection to the previous 3 films. Naomi is a young woman who is coming back to her hometown to help take care of her mom. But when she gets there she finds out over night most of the kids started suffering from a high fever and now seem to be possessed. It seems the spirit of a murdered child preacher,Josiah, has possessed them. The possessed kids assume the names of children from Josiah's time and try to bring Josiah back from the dead. It seems in the deleted scene we find out that Josiah has another name "He who walks behind the rows". Now I haven't seen all of the Children of the Corn films,I don't think I have seen 5 or 7. But this one is the best so far. The story is pretty interesting,the acting is way better than it has been. And the FX are really good considering how low the budget had to be. CotC IV earns a B+.
