I've been a huge fan of HH LLC since I first saw it. The sequel was ok, but undoubtedly inferior. The one after that was so bad I decided it didn't exist. When I saw this film was out, I had hesitation given that non-existent swill. Boy was I surprised. I haven't written a review in a while, but had to about this. It went back to basics. Had really scary parts and some decent, well executed jump scares. I didn't appreciate the music. It takes away from the FF. I understand there's a frame documentary, but they should've added a disclaimer about music for effect so it didn't seem so unnatural for this format. Anyway, those clowns are freakin' creepy AF. You'd think it would get old. Nope. Still creepy. I haven't been that unsettled in a movie in a while. I miss that. It's why we watch scary movies.
I really couldn't stand the character of Chase. I was initially glad that another person was going to be staying with them. But he ended up being super pointless. He made irritatingly bad decisions and it was extremely frustrating. Like, why are you whispering...and walking away slowly? Why aren't you running and screaming? How about getting the attention of the sister and her gf? Oh and why are you still there after the first incident? That wasn't subtle. That's a huge, fat nope for moi.
Anyway, if you liked the first, this brings back the formula that made it appealing in the first place.
