Review – Children of the Corn 4: The Gathering

At the outset I should admit that as of this writing I haven’t seen the second and third installments in this set, so if either of them included anything essential I haven’t seen it yet. A woman (Naomi Watts early in her career) returns to the family farm to help out when her mom (Karen Black later in hers) suffers a mental breakdown. Shortly thereafter every kid in town comes down with a mysterious illness. They recover, but then they go all children-of-the-corny. Bad gore and low-grade suspense ensue. Mildly amusing
