By this stage the franchise had really gotten tired, the previous few had been very poor, almost an insult to the fabulous original.
Of the first six films I would place this third overall, after one and two. It doesn't deserve its reputation as a bad film, because it isn't bad, nor is it great.
On the plus side, it has some scary moments, Michael's character is well used. The acting in general is rather good, it's quite slick, in a nineties way. On the debit side, the story is a little far fetched, and I didn't particularly like the cult element, it's like they tried to rewrite the show's past. It's a bit silly I guess, but....
At least it has Paul Rudd and the wonderful Donald Pleasance.
Not that bad. 6/10
