This film’s ethereal visuals and hypnotic soundtrack create an atmosphere that is both seductive and unsettling. Its deliberate pacing and understated storytelling encourage you to linger on subtle character dynamics and thematic undercurrents long after it ends.
This installment feels weaker than its predecessors, lacking the intensity that made the earlier entries so engaging. The villains fail to leave an impression, never truly rising to the level of a worthy adversary.
The script fails to generate any genuine tension or compelling narrative. Travolta’s overly hammy performance only amplifies the film’s overall lack of subtlety.
