Shot in Romania back to back with the equally terrible fifth in the series, this was both badly conceived and executed. It marked an obvious huge downturn in quality from all concerned. Even Thomerson couldn't save this turkey from roasting.

Weak fourth Trancers films seems more like a cash grab than a real attempt to make a decent film. In this film, Jack Deth lands in the 22nd century where vampires rule a medieval society. Even though it's supposed to be the future, the film mostly takes place around a Romanian castle that was also used in several other Full Moon films. My suspicion is that Full Moon had a deal to film in and around this castle and they wanted to make as many films there as possible, regardless of their quality. The castle does give the film some impressive production value, but the story is just dull and even though Tim Thomerson returns as Jack Deth, he seems more a parody of the character (which was already a bit tongue-in-cheek). More likely though, it's just badly written dialogue that comes off as just ridiculous. The film was directed by X-Files regular director David Nutter, but he sadly can't bring any real suspense or intrigue to tis awful script. This film was made back-to-back with "Trancers 5: Sudden Deth." And according to IMDB, Tim Thomerson is embarrassed by his involvement with this film and part 5.

Filmed at the same time as Trancers 5

Filmed at the same time as Trancers 5: Sudden Deth in the Full Moon castle — how did they avoid it for so long — this Trancers movie finds Jack Deth without his wife Lena and having lost his other wife Alice to Harris. So now, all alone and angry at everything, he agrees to go into the past again. Due to an attack by a Solonoid, Jack finds himself in a whole new dimension that's a lot like medieval times where the Nobles — proto-Trancers? — sick the life force out of humans — like vampires. This would seem like the perfect time to crossover Subspecies with Trancers, but come on. We don't have the budget for that. To battle the evil Lord Caliban, Jack must travel to the Castle of Unrelenting Terror and perhaps even work with the evil ruler's son Prospero. And because none of his technology works, he might not make it out alive. Written by comic book writer Peter David (the Oblivion films), this movie's budgetary challenges were solved by director David Nutter taking entire pages out of the script. Nutter would go on to much bigger and better things, including directing multiple episodes of Game of Thrones and Disturbing Behavior.
