After a lacklustre opening sequence, the film never really recovers. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely veering towards “cash-grab sequels that shouldn’t have been made” territory.

There are a few amusing moments of meta-humour, but it feels like it was just retreading the paths laid down by the earlier films and not really doing anything new.

The horror elements all seemed a bit tamer. Lots of off-screen deaths and very little attention paid to building up the tension.
