Not gonna lie, this was a completionist viewing. I’ve watched the other films in this series and figured “eh, it’s Halloween, might as well check out the latest chapter…”.  It looks great, some of the sound design was pretty effecting at times and the acting is fine for the most part.  But that’s where it stops. Pretty mediocre writing, uneven cinematography  with a few surprisingly amateurish shots, mar the good stuff sprinkled throughout. But even that good stuff doesn’t save this film from the fact that it’s just straight up boring.  Which is always a shame because you can tell the creators are really trying to spin what I imagine they feel is a pretty complex story arc. 

What else…. OH! There’s a Bic lighter in the first fifteen minutes, that puts out an absurd amount of light. That made me chuckle I guess.
