An unexpectedly solid entry in one of the better and smarter horror franchises out there. The filmmakers bring back all the fan favorites and give them something to do without destroying their legacy like so many other reboots/sequels/requels do and still makes time to introduce us to a new group of knife fodder. The good news is that these are characters likable enough to not want to see them get butchered within 5 minutes of meeting them. I'm curious to see where the filmmakers take the series next.
