I've never been a huge fan of the genre/franchise, but for the first 'rebrand' of 2022 it's a plethora of nostalgia, comedy, and mild gore! With some fantastic slasher scenes, the effects are subtle without being stomach turning but should still sate the fans of the brand. Much like any movie of its type the only down side is the predictability. I'd give it 4.5 but rounded up for the amount it made me laugh as it took the mick out of itself for the duration. As someone who hasn't watched the entire back catalogue I'm sure some of the inside jokes went over my head. I don't, however, feel this took anything away from my enjoyment. Though I would say if you don't know the premise and content of at least the original, you'll be missing out a bit. It's hard to say anything else without spoilers so I'll leave it there 😂 Worth a watch 👍
