Just kind of sad
This movie is simultaneously enraging and not worth thinking about. At first you're hopeful, because it seems to be trying to blend the "newer" films with the first two and somehow streamline a messy canon, but it eventually just turns into people walking around a house. Light jabs at the franchise, intended to be endearing, feel insulting because you, as an audience member, begin to feel that the movie hates you. And not even a cool, surreal house. Just a house. Christopher Jacot is wasted. Doug Bradley is somehow wasted, because they are mostly too afraid to be over the top with anything. At the very least, an attempt was made, but somehow that is more disappointing than if a random script was slapped with the franchise name. It kind of feels like the worst kind of filler episode, but in movie form.
