I first saw the most recent film in this series, "Terrifier", and liked that. I saw the first "All Hallows' Eve" and found it decent, but not as good as "Terrifier". I thought that this film was far inferior to both. It felt almost like the material that wasn't good enough to put in the first one.
There are eight short films (some very short) that make up the film all together. The wrap-around sequence is similar to that from the first film in that a young woman all alone is left a VHS tape, but there is no babysitting this time. So little of the film is dedicated to the wrap-around that it is hardly worth including. The ending is absolutely pathetic, especially after the first film had such a shocking ending.
Of the eight films, the best ones are "Descent" and "Alexia". These two justified the three stars. "Mr. Tricker's Treat" seemed to be doing well, but it ended so soon that it didn't feel very satisfying. I felt bored during "The Offering". "M is for Masochist" was so short that it was pointless to include.
One last point is that there is a lot less gore in this film than in either the first "All Hallows' Eve" or in "Terrifier". It still has an 18 certificate here in Britain, but I can imagine that some people might have found the other two too gorey to stomach. I can stomach a lot of gore, but I thought that I'd mention it for those who are not so keen.
