The series gets a bit of its fucked up charm back in this fifth entry. A young albino girl has awful nightmares concerning her vanished father and a violent ritual. She also talks to herself in a raspy voice and tortures her favorite doll. There’s obviously some past awfulness hidden in the family closet as her mother and grandma hang around all day at their crap-shack making moody eyes at each other. Her aunt seems to be the only stable one, she’s just started a job she likes and is in a relationship with a jewelry store owner who may already be thinking of marriage. Sadly that family strife buried out of sight is about to rear its ugly head and make life miserable for everyone. Disturbing visions and demonic bargains cause a shit-ton of depression and death. After the less than impressive previous entries, part 5 brings back a bit of an edge and offers up some proper wickedness. There’s still a lack of focus slowing things down but it’s pretty much been that way since the opening act.
