Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

eloisebean I love this movie series! The only horror movie series where all the sequels are just as good as the original. I can understand why some fans might not like it, because it does take awhile for the multiple kills to start, in the second half. But I personally didn't mind. To me the characters were likeable and funny to watch, so it was never boring. The kills are just as gruesome, and kept me wincing in my seat. A nice mixture of wanting to see gore, but wanting the characters to survive. I can't wait for part 5!

recklesscow Aside from the fact that I never found the character of Victor Crowley to be frightening in any sense of the word anytime throughout any of the previous three installments, I could get behind the films for their level of comedy and entertaining, over-the-top gore that all congealed to make a fun throwback to 80s slasher franchises that never took themselves too seriously.So it's unfortunate that this, the fourth installment, is such a turd. Hampered by an obviously sub-par budget that forces the film to utilize mainly one location for the majority of its running time, the film treads water agonizingly before ending at an hour and sixteen minutes. Did I mention that the first five minutes of the film are a prologue? That means we get roughly an hour and ten minutes of actual film, with the great majority of the action taking place on a crashed plane.You'd think that once the character of Victor Crowley mercifully, finally shows up after what seems an eternity of foreshadowing that the ensuing payoff would be worth the wait. You'd be wrong, however. Crowley is simply "going through the motions" once more, doing what he does best yet failing to offer anything original. The franchise feels, by and large at this point, tired.What's worse, the jokes are either unfunny or are delivered by actors that manage to make their lines incomprehensible, rendering them flat. The director also deemed it fit to cast an actress with an annoyingly high nasal voice that grates on the nerves throughout.After the anticlimactic and, typically, abrupt ending, the film falls from the memory, completely failing to make any sort of lasting impression whatsoever. Too bad that a fourth installment in a previously fun, if silly, franchise wound up being without any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Fella_shibby Saw this on a rented dvd. Waiting to buy a copy of it. Have all the 3 parts in my dvd collection. Fans of the series will definitely enjoy this but those who havnt seen the series will also enjoy this as it has plenty of laughs, brutal n bloody deaths n claustrophobic atmosphere. Adam Green shud be applauded for making such an entertaining brutal slasher n considering its low budget, he did a mighty fine job. There is something sinister about horror films set in the bayou, especially Louisiana n Green made full use of the settings. I had complained in my review of the first part about the no usage of crocodiles in such settings. If only there was some short crocodile terror in this installment, i wud have loved it even more. Watch out for Dave Sheridan. His comic timing is very good n his character was a perfect sigh of relief in a very tensed n gory slasher.

GL84 Having survived the original massacre, a former paramedic finds himself in a group of people who crashlands in the same swamp with the deformed killer he escaped previously as they resurrect him for another rampage in his home swamp and must rely on his experiences to get away alive.This is yet another enjoyable entry in the franchise. Among the best aspects of this one is the way this one goes into dealing with the backstory to the previous entries. Not only does this one take great consideration in playing up the connection to the past involving the decade-long journey by the one character but also giving this a lot to like with the setup of the legend in the years since the original incident. Taking on the current form of publicity and exposure that would be found in a modern environment regarding those types of flash-in-the-pan celebrities that dominate the society. That gives this one plenty to like heading into the motivation for the upcoming massacre with the film really scoring nicely with the usual slashing antics which keeps this one hurtling headlong into the fun slashing antics that occur. The series of attacks here are just as much fun as they were in the past, from the opening assault in the swamp to the battle to get out of the rattled plane against the trap he sets up for the group as well as the different one-on-one battles out in the swamp where the creative encounters are just as much fun as they've always been. Managing to mix together the use of bombastic, over-the-top action that never once comes close to being realistic or plausible in any sense and some genuinely creepy or chilling as when he pops up out of the darkness at the shack or the surprise appearance at the plane which really goes well together towards creating some great action-packed attacks in the final half. Combined with the usually stellar special effects work on the graphic and gruesome kills, these here are what work as the film does have a few minor flaws. The main issue here is the rather long amount of time it takes to get to the main setup in the swamp as it takes too many storylines to get fleshed out to get to that point. This one too many that don't make too much of an impact which is quite surprising as it features way too many that hold up the pacing, and it gets worse as there's no reason to keep them inside the broken plane as long as they are which also holds up the pace. Likewise, the only small issue here is the rushed feeling this gives in comparison to the other entries which didn't need as rushed and breakneck a pace that this one flies through in the finale which just seems to end without really setting itself up for anything. These here are the minor qualities that hold it back.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
