Although the future is unknowable, it’s quite common for filmmakers to take a guess at what might occur in the coming years.

Once a film franchise reaches a certain age, creating satisfying sequels becomes almost impossible. Within horror especially, it’s exceedingly hard to develop stories that capture the magic of the original movie. However, every now and then, a series delivers a film that rivals all other entries in terms of quality.

Although the first act significantly outshines the rest of the narrative, this is still an extremely entertaining film.
