I am a big fan of 1.

Disliked 2.

Enjoyed 3.

This latest installment is have to say was a huge disappointment.

The constant direction of "this happened and then this happened and then this happened" was so wasted and useless. That said I think like part 2 it was the actors and acting that ruined it for me.

The character of Margot Bentley played by Bridget Rose Perrotta was so far off mark. Her relationship with character Rebecca Vickers played by Destiny Leilani Brown was absolutely not convincing, they certainly didn't seem like lovers but more like good girly friends.

The acting by Bridget was really weak, over exaggerated and mistimed on many back and fourth dialog scenes.

Some of the plot set ups were also very bad. *SPOLIER* When the ladies arrive at the Carmichael mansion with Donald (I think was his name) to get the keys and be show around, Rebecca asks Donald regarding the internet signal and he states "as I said to Margot when we last spoke, the internet is just fine". The reason this is a red flag is because Rebecca mentioned a few times before they arrived at the mansion that she will be happy as long as it has internet at which point Margot could've simple said it does. It also foreshadowing the internet going down.

I was super excited when this movie was announced, even more excited when it dropped but now having seen it twice, it is by far the weakest link and the worse produced out of them.

Believe the bad reviews!!!! Even for a horror movie, the acting is the true horror story here. Obvious low budget tactics. Strange noises unexplained items and people magically appear or move. But somehow no one leaves the house until it's too late. Even while dying victims still want to film operate there cameras. Spoiler here!!! " My mentally ill brother is missing, let's keep filming" Im getting tired of trying to meet the character requirements for an honest review. I bet this review will be deleted. I don't care if only a few people see it. I honestly can't get past the stunningly bad acting efforts or the lack of plot.

I enjoyed this instalment. Even though the story model remains more or less the same as the others, the tension and unnerving feelings managed to be effectively executed. I only have one gripe which was the main character was insufferable from beginning to end. I don't know why the screenwriter felt the need to make Margot obnoxious, arrogant, pig-headed, fundamentally unlikable and self-interested, especially seen as how we are supposed to be empathising with her the most, but it created a real divide between my willingness to root for her and my contempt towards her. The girlfriend and brother were likeable enough and I was on their sides when they were faced with conflict. But the lead was painful for me (the character not the actress). If they had written her differently I think I would've enjoyed this so much more. Regardless, as horror goes, this film produced enough sufficient scares to justify its existence.
