Disappointment is the name of the game. This sequel jumps ahead five years and returns it closer to the gritty roots of the first film. Art moves on from Halloween and ruins yet another holiday. It ignores a lot of the pre-established mythos of the previous entry and doesn't push the story into any bold or exciting new directions. It's a noticeable drop down in quality, and the viewer suffers for it. There's a very fine line between slashers being fun, and being derivative and boring. Unfortunately, this series feels like it's spinning its wheels at this point. Worry not, though; Terrifier 4 is in development now! They will milk this franchise for all it's worth, just like the best/worst of them.
Oh well...it's more of the same if you enjoyed the others.
