    Children of the Corn 4: The Gathering continues the gore factor established in the third film, and brings a whole new level of horrifying carnage to the screen. This fourth entry is a fun, well conceived film that gorehounds will mostly enjoy. There are effective horror elements ... read moreat work here to create a pleasant treat for Children of the Corn fans. The cast is comprised of Naomi Watts and Karen Black, to name a few. The film has an interesting story, and plenty of violence and gore to satisfy the most diehard horror fan. Sure, the film could be better, but considering that this is a fourth entry, the film is pretty good. Director Greg Spence delivers a horror film that is lots of fun, entertaining and never boring. Sure the film has its flaws, but for what it is, it's a good fourth film in the Children of the Corn series, and it manages to be a good little horror gem. Thought at times the film can be a tad predictable, this entry is worth watching and is lots of fun for horror fans, and it definitely delivers a fun, entertaining horror viewing experience. As far as sequels are concerned, this one has enough thrills going for it to make it an interesting watch. Children of the Corn fans won't be disappointed and though it lacks in some place, it more than makes up for it with the gore factor, which in the end is what makes this film a must see for horror fans.

    Surprisingly not too bad. It's the goriest of the series with nice gruesome kills and the plot is marginally different with not a grain of corn in sight. Interestingly it stars Naomi Watts in the lead already showing signs that she was destined for better things.

    I'm glad the heroine Naomi Watts survived in this final scene of the corn beastie from hell film.

    How many times can you have those creepy blonde-haired children come out of a cornfield and act scary? Who do they think they are? Those baseball players in Field of Dreams. So bad I didn't even finish it.

    Children of the Corn 4 wasn't as big of a failure as part three. However, it's a Corn sequel. It's neat to see Naomi Watts in this movie. It's amazing she's moved onto a fairly well-respected career.

    I actually loved this one. A young Naomi Watts, and the cute little girl from Dante's Peak. This one actually creeped me out in some scenes, I don't know why. Very worthy sequel, even if it's not about He Who Walks Behind the Rows.

Okay acting from Naomi and Karen but still a bad movie in a bad franchise.
