After subpar sequels 2 to 4, had lowered expectations for this final film in the franchise.
This film is different in comparison to the original but it works in a sense. The plot is creative and makes sense. There is a sense of intrigue as it starts out relatively mysterious and confusing where many things do unfold as the story progresses. Clever twists in the end.
The aspect regarding the toy owner and his creepy teenage son with these killer toys makes for an interesting story. How the intro began regarding the killer toy killing the character left us wanting more.
What ultimately makes this film watchable is not only is the acting passable, the characters are solid and the lead mother and her child son are easy to root for. There are some unique kill scenes, one highlight involving a young teenage man and girl in the bedroom where these killer toys go completely rogue.
A lot better than part 4, also noting that the lead female Kim and the boy Lonnie appear here with lesser roles. Perhaps not on the level of the original but it's certainly at least the second best of the franchise.
