Certainly the lowest, dumbest point of the franchise thus far, but not **so** bad that I won't be willing to watch the 4th entry touted for a 2017 release.
Also does that super annoying thing where it is 100% a prequel, but still called "Chapter X".
_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

Another PG13 horror movie. That rating is like shouting "Don't worry, we aren't going to scare you!!!! Bring your family, bring the kids, we are as bland as tofu." And it is.
Like all the others they are going for one or two fast jumps and...that's it.
Pointless without the Horror/Comedy label, but Hollywood is afraid to attach humor to anything frightening under the belief the Millennials won't "get it." So you have, well, you have a film that is going out of its way to not be scary to keep the rating family friendly...
And for some reason I watched it.
