I had a lot of fun with this one. It's true the series has probably done what it needed to do by now, and this has just sort of devolved into a post-modern meta-mash of rules and forgets the actual horror and suspense parts, but it still has it's moments.

It fits in nicely with the rest of the series and It's certainly way better than the third film. The opening sequence is usually the most fun part of these films and that's no exception here. It's cool they managed to get back most of the original cast too.

There's so much meta commentary about sequels and remakes and franchise reboots, and while everything they say is true, it also doesn't ever rise above them with something fresh and original. But perhaps that's the point. I can't deny that watching this one with a good rowdy crowd and friends is the only way to do it. Have fun with it, and it's pretty enjoyable. However it is just more of the same, so if you don't like the last three I wouldn't bother with this one.

Hopefully this is done and Wes Craven and go onto something else now.
