![]() ![]() Rather than being a spirit summoned by a cursed book, this one changes it around to be a masked human killer who has a tooth fetish and had electron an insane asylum. The biggest issue with this one is the rather bizarre change of course that occurs where it changes up the purpose of the villain and their origins. There are some problems to be had with this one. Alternating nicely between ambush encounters to generate a shocking kill as well as hard-hitting torture scenes designed to inflict trauma on the mouth for tooth extraction, these are generally fun and focus on enough to like here that it has some positives to make it enjoyable. The early attack on the mother during the flashback is a fine starting point, while the attack on the house where it ambushes the couple getting out of the car and confronting the killer on the driveway serves this well enough while dealing with the assault on the house. ![]() As well, there's also a lot of fun here with the attack scenes which are quite brutal. From the interactions at the house to the bar they frequent in the middle of town, there's a lot to like here while also getting enough on the group to make them likable. As has become a tradition in the series, the trip out into the countryside and getting everyone out to a remote house where the being can begin the rampage offers the kind of comforting familiarity while also doing what it needs to get to know the group quite well. Among the brighter spots here comes from the generally intriguing setup that offers a fine motivation for everything. This one turned out to be somewhat of an odd change of pace in the series. Taking a trip out to the countryside, a woman joins her friends at a mountainside cabin to enjoy a holiday together, but she soon comes to believe a stranger that's shown up at the house is there to threaten the children staying with them and tries to save everyone when the intruder becomes malevolent. ![]()
