Well, I'm a COTC purist. Gatlin(or Hemmingford), corn, and some murderous kids are all you need for a COTC. Oh, yeah, and a good plot. Oh, yeah, and HE WHO WALKS BEHIND THE ROWS! Yes, I'm aware that Josiah was supposed to be He Who, but I still don't see it. I never thought that HWWBTR was the devil and I thought that's who his soul was sold to. Also, the death scenes were even more cheesy than III's and that's saying something. This might have had corn, and the kids but that was it. They might as well have called it something like "The Evil Preacher Boy". I guess it works as a horror movie, but not as a COTC movie.
