House IV (1992) is the fourth and final film in the House tetralogy. The film sees the return of Roger Cobb, from the original House, but the film otherwise does not connect its storyline to the first film, and its overall tone is closer to the comedy/horror found in the first House and House II: The Second Story, although it is rated "R" from the Motion Picture Association of America.
Storyline
Roger Cobb (William Katt) is now married to Kelly (Terri Treas) and has a daughter, Laurel (Melissa Clayton) and lives in the old Cobb family house that is located on a deserted and desolate shoreline. Roger's cynical brother-in-law, Burke (Scott Burkholder), has been pestering him to sell the family mansion to some seedy Mafia real estate developers, without any success.
Yet, Roger is soon killed in a car accident, that leaves Laurel wheel-chair bound, and Burke is unable to convince Kelly to sell the house. Various supernatural events start occurring in the house, and after Kelly consults with an Native American spiritual guide, she learns that the spirit of Roger and some Native Americans have been trying to warn Kelly that Roger's tragic car accident was in fact cold-blooded murder and that Burke is trying to sell the land to the Mafia so that it can be used for the illegal dumping of toxic waste.
