Watching Children of the Corn IV was a little different this time. My fellow garbage collector Steve Carpenter watched it with me (we a few hours prior went to Buffalo Wild Wings, with my wife for food and the Cubs game) after we came back to the house. I think it was actually more enjoyable with a second person because this one is just kind of there. It's part of the series, but it just mills around waiting for a curious fan to watch it as it sobs in the corner. Because I think it's mostly ignored. As expected, once you delve past the third entry, no one cares. And I think that's what happened here. No one cared. The one scene we both laughed at and questioned was when one of the doctors at the hospital gets cut in half with a blade sticking out of the front of a hospital bed. One of the possessed kids attaches a blade to the front of a hospital bed, rides it down the hallway, and chops the dude in half. Brilliant. What's not brilliant is just how this movie trudges. The pace gets slow at times and you kind of just want it to end. But even great franchises like Children of the Corn can't be fully cooked all the way. Should've kept it in longer. That's what she said.
