As suggested, we watched Part V first and then watched the prequel. This was exactly what I expected and enjoyed every bit of it. The acting and storyline is true-to-form with the horror films of that era. The props and attention to detail to create that realistic feel of a movie made in the late 70's - 80s is fantastic. I enjoyed the familiar additions to recreate the boogie-man, babysitter, and unsuspecting group of friends. The diverse group of spectators for the "big game" make for amusing interactions and some instances of humor. There are several points in the film that we couldn't resist laughing at because it's just too ridiculous and that was by design; which makes it even more enjoyable.

This movie was exactly what I had hoped for. In the spirit of the old 70-80s horror films, it is clear that the intent was to amuse; not to scare. A true throwback to this era in every scene, including the diner which was a clever place to connect the characters. The acting and scenes were on point, even the grainy look to the film made it feel as if it's been sitting on the shelf in the Movie rental store for the past 25 years. You'll notice some of the classic additions of the old school horrors: group of friends, sheriff who does nothing, nudity, drugs, ie This movie delivered on the quirky films we all loved to laugh through.
