I don't understand why the writers and producers of this installment completely departed from the centerpiece of this franchise, the Warrens. I guess they had the night off. Instead they chose the easy, cheap and thin plot of a typical scream fest with teens making dumb and incomprehensible decisions. What a slap in the face to young girls everywhere. I couldn't believe that they baled out and sold out to this cheap, boring and predictable rut. If this is the new direction for this franchise, count me out. It will take an amazing comeback for me to spend another dime of my time. So disappointed.
