    THE BEST SO FAR

    I have only watched 1,2 & 3 but this ones the best.

    As the reviews are saying they really went to town on making more of a story than just this bloke in the same old strippy jumper going around killing people.

    This has more of a Jamanji meets the shining/chucky/hellraiser appeal.

    The story is based more in the dreams and the dreamworlds are quite frightening with one or two jumps instore.

    For me you'll never beet the head popping out the boat in JAWS for the most jump out your seat moment.

    Hope 4 & 5 are as good.
