Summary: Not the best one... but close
Review: ... Not many of them are scary. I will admit though the first texas chainsaw massacre did. Recently ive been watching the COTC series(an exausting 7) and it seems the more they make the less of a story we get. It went from not many killings and a good story(COTC 1) to basically no story and alot of blood, killing, and horribly effected creatures(COTC 3)but i will say that of the series, 4 is definitly one of the best. Yeah there is a lot of killing, blood, and some baaaaad acting(the black girl who dies) but it actually has a story to it.. Honestly im not lieing. the story doesnt really get told till toward the end but the story is actually good and seems like it took more than 5 min to come up with. It starts with a mother who has 2 children living with her. she is suffering from bad dreams where children attack and kill her.They scare her so bad taht she is even afraid to leave the front yard. When her other daughter heres she is getting worse she decides to stop in for a visit to help around with things. From there she notices that all the kids begin to get sick with the same "illness." as the movie moves along, you find out about a certain child that did not age and when the people he was with considered him useless they burned him and threw his soul into the bottom of a well. A stupid drunk in the movie(arent they all) brings the spirit up and now he is needing a certain child to help bring him back to power. I wont go into it more since this is a movie you should watch not just read about. The movie itself is not really scary but it is fun to watch. If you enjoy the COTC series you will like this one. Dont worry, it isnt nearly as bad and corny as COTC 2 and 3. The other good thing about this movie is that it is a break from the "He who walks behind the rows" tale and there is no dark bible spouting like the other ones. This one doesnt bring up the rows monster at all. and its good that we could take a break from that for one movie. My only question is, how is it that the leaves are strong enough to wrap around someone and drag them all over the place? i wouldnt think the corn leaves would be that hard to break?

Summary: Don't feed the children
Review: An aspiring doctor returns home when her mother's condition takes a turn for the worse and a strange virus takes all of the children in the same town under the spell of another religious zealot. A huge noticable improvement over part III with some good performances, good effects and even a sufficent plot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A New Harvest
Review: Children Of The Corn 4: "The Gathering" (Based on the short story "Children Of The Corn" by Stephen King.) is riveting. Once again the legacy of the Children continues to horrify and thrill it's viewers. This mind numbingly terrific story of perverced innocence will capture your attention and egnite your imagination into the realms of the supernatural. (Don't forget to breath.) Fall into a world were your blood feeds the soil as the harvest becomes ready. The Gathering of the children is at hand and now there's hell to pay.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If only I'd seen the first two...
Review: Children of the corn IV is a pretty good scary movie, with lots of freaky scenes. Although the "special" effects are not so good this is a worth-seeing movie. Unfortunately I can't give it 5 stars because I haven't seen the firt two COTC movies which are said to be the best. (I've only seen #5 but I didn't like it).

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Best of the Corn Flicks
Review: How they ever got to a "Children of the Corn IV" beats me, but I have watched all of them now and this is easily the best of the first five! While it has little to do with the original story it is still a stylish and scarey little frightner in its own right and I enjoyed it. Naomi Watts is good, Karen Black is wonderfully over the top and some of the kids are really creepy (like these weird twin boys who get possessed -- ugh!) but it was fun and I had a great time watching it. Sure beats the heck out of the others!

Summary: pretty good
Review: i dont know if this is the best of all the COTC,cause i havent seen the 5th and 6th but i really liked this one cause it wasnt so damn annoying like the 1-3rd.issac and eli were just annoyed me a lot.Some people can't tell who the leader of all the children was but i think it was the one kid's spirit or the girl from "Dante's Peak".Some scary scenes in this one
