Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering1996

Horror Vault's take

A young medical student returns to her rural hometown only to find the local children gripped by a terrifying and inexplicable affliction. As she races to uncover the source of the spreading darkness, the threat grows more sinister and personal. Set against the oppressive backdrop of Nebraska farmland, this fourth entry in the long-running franchise leans into mystery and supernatural dread. Familiar faces and a pre-fame cast elevate what is otherwise a lean, unsettling slice of mid-90s horror.
