I don't get the hate for this. It's creepy, chilling, original and well acted. It's also light years better than most of the other sequels.
Sure, maybe it's not completely aligned with the world established in the original, but it's near enough, and considering this is something like the eighth film in the franchise, a fresh take was surely the best bet.
If viewers really think something like this is deserving of being scored four or less, then they'd have to go into subtracted figures to rate some of the REAL stinkers that are out there. And believe me, there are some horror films which genuinely are unwatchable... and I reckon I've seen most of them.
