- 50Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesRosenthal observes all the ritual elements -- a veteran of the series, he seems to understand that its fans crave certainty over shock.
- 40New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufNew Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufThing is, movie's 100 percent mystery-free, but mildly creative, mixing Psych 101 with cynical Hollywood in-jokes with Tylenol-sponsored grainy-cam footage. Best revelation is source of Myers' superhuman strength: eats big rats, apparently.

- 10VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonMore uselessly redundant and shamelessly money-grubbing than most third-rate horror sequels.
- 0New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickIt's so devoid of joy and energy it makes even "Jason X" - a recent attempt to prolong the rival "Friday the 13th" slasher franchise - look positively Shakesperean by comparison.
