I first saw this in the late 90s on cable tv.
Revisited it recently.
Part 3 is so horrible that inspite of being on the series' marathon, i took a 5 months gap between this n part 3.
Late 80s n early 90s were my vhs days. Late 90s n early 2k were my cable tv n theatre days. Those were the days man.
This is the fourth in the series n much better than its predecessor.
Also this time the rural settings is back.
The film marked the first time Naomi Watts received first billing n she did a fine job.
The movie has lots of jump scares via dream sequences.
It is also very gory.
Fingers get chopped via a scythe, a fat doctor gets sliced into two parts, a fat alcoholic gets decapitated, etc.
A cop while investigating a murder along with other cops goes in the corn fields chasing a kid and later he gets killed while the remaining cops doesn't seem to bother where he disappeared or what happened to their fellow cop. Some mighty good direction there.
Also, a girl is submerged in a bathtub of blood n hell lottuva time passes but she is later revived back. This is another feather for the director.
