Children of the Corn IV |
"In a sleepy midwestern town... A horrifying evil is about to rise again"
In this movie, Naomi plays Grace Rhodes. She has been away at school and has returned home to her Midwestern Town. It does not specifically say where in the Midwest she is, but it is a state, which has a lot of farm country in it much like Gatlin in the first film. Grace has returned home because her mother, June (Karen Black), is unable to handle taking care of the house and her two younger children. She has some sort of mental condition similar to bi-polar. The house is a mess, she wears some sort of nightgown or muumuu most of the time, and she is agoraphobic, which prevents her from going past the end of her driveway. Grace’s brother James (Mark Salling) is embarrassed by June’s behavior. He spends a lot of time out of the house and when he does show up his anger that is aimed at his mother is apparent. The youngest of the Rhodes children is Margaret (Jamie Renée Smith). Though she is too young to really understand how crazy her mother acts, she knows life is better with Grace there. In fact, she even says she likes Grace taking care of her better then letting their mother do it. Grace does not know how long she is going to be on leave from the University she is attending so she asks for her job back. She is going to be working at the town clinic with the doctor that takes care of everyone in the town including her mother, Doc Larson (played to perfection by veteran character actor, William Windom). As Grace arrives for her first day of work, a pandemic breaks out. All of the children seem to be going through a transformation. Doc and Grace believe it is simply the flu. However, their fevers all spike up to nearly unbearable (105+) levels before dropping down again. The problem becomes so unbearable Grace spends more than one night at the clinic and asks for the help of her nurse/best friend Mary Anne (Samaria Graham). Meanwhile, back at home, both James and Margaret are experiencing the exact same symptoms. Margaret seems more affected then most of the children, who are also taking on different names/personas. Little do the adults know that their children are being possessed by the spirits of a dead cult of corn children. This cult was run by a boy preacher named Josiah, before Isaac was even imagined. Josiah, in fact, is often referred to as the original evil. Many COTC fans even believe Josiah is the evil spirit behind He Who Walks behind the Rows. While this fact remains undetermined, the plot twists and turns until the children are led to Josiah. At this point, it is only a matter of time before they take over and the adults are vanquished for good. Young Margaret, has a very special roll in this, but what Josiah has in store for her may shock even the most prolific horror fan
