Yeah, this is nothing very special. There were only like 3 kills and 1 wasn't even on screen so there was nothing memorable in that department. The acting was decent enough, but aside from the two leads and occasionally the killers there wasn't anyone on long enough to really judge them. (Had also been hoping that Richard Brake would play a larger role but it was a non-speaking cameo.) The cinematography was well done and music was a good match for the atmosphere.
As for the plot, it's pretty barebones as this is meant to be a reintroduction of the killers for unfamiliar audiences. Why they are doing this is left simply as "Because you were here" (which is a callback to the original movies), though some religious undertones suggests it may be related to maybe fornication? The movie ends on a literal "To Be Continued" so I'd assume the sequel would pick up immediately after the events in this film. I have to hope they put a bit more effort and labor into the sequel because this was lacking.
Overall, it's decent enough and I am curious enough to go see the sequel which I assume will get greenlit based off this movie's small budget which it will definitely get back. So go see it if you like slashers.
