The first two films are great. The third one is a worthy entry into the series. The TV show was great every other episode. The fourth movie was the weakest but it tried to take the franchise someplace different at least. This fifth film was made on an incredibly tight budget. Michael is the best part and worth every penny, but everyone else is serviceable and thats it.
The little girl at the end ruined the film though. The script was okay up until that point, then it was like the writers just gave up thinking and made a stupid ending from bad to worse with the final kill.
What was intresteing is the deleted scenes. They filmed an entire underwater escape sequence but persumably the special effects budget ran out and it was cut from the film.
The monsters are much scarier, having more teeth and fins on the back. But they are used sparingly. Persumably due to budget issues. In fact the Screeches are left out entirely. The same Grabloid effect was used repeatedly (mirrored to look different at least) but for the most part, they do a good job of hiding there limited budget.
Its not the best in the series and its not the worse. But as a viewer you can feel its restrictions limiting its potential to be great. If only they didn't have a stupid child ruin it completely at the end.
