Miscellaneous: Isaac has supposedly been in a coma for 19 years. However, when they show close-ups of his eyes in the beginning (still in a coma, more or less), he clearly has contact lenses in his eyes.

Quotes:

Dr. Michaels: Well if it isn't the medical miracle!
Isaac: It was Hannah's touch!
Dr. Michaels: You leave that girl alone!
Isaac: You didn't, You took her from her mother!
Dr. Michaels: I took her from this town, I was trying to give her a chance! You're sick!
Isaac: Are you ready to pay for you're actions?
Dr. Michaels: I've been paying for them all my life! It's you're soul that's gonna burn in hell!
Isaac: I don't have a soul!

Avoid.

Bringing back the original 'star' of a TV show or film series is usually a gimmick employed to get a series back on track, with varying degrees of success. Here it only goes to prove that not only is John Franklin a bad actor, but his writing skills are similarly questionable. It may be 'interesting' to see how he envisaged the series continuing, but it makes a less than interesting film. This is dull, confusing sepia-toned drivel, with neither plot or substance, and almost no children or corn! What's that all about?

Even number 5 is better than this...
