Better Than The First Two

Went to see the midnight premiere and 9 of the rooms in the theater were packed! The only disappointing things in this movie were
1) A lot of the preview clips ARE NOT in the movie, such as the girl jumping off the ledge in the room and the 2 girls in the bathroom doing "Bloody Mary" and the mother being dragged out of the room. I guess those made the cutting room floor, but why put them in the previews if they are not even in the movie nor is any reference made to it!
2)The ending, not to do a spoiler, BUT if you are/were a Sopranos fan and didn't like the ending of the series, you will be the same way when this ends, they are leaving it open for #4, which I will run to see again, but was a little annoying.
There were scenes that made you jump out of your seat, some you knew were coming, but just didn't know when, which made for a good climax. Some made you laugh, and some were down right creepy! If not for the ending and the previews being misleading, I would have given it a 5 star rating instead of a 4. It is in NO WAY one of those "Gee, lets see how many sequels we can make before people get sick of it" movies by a long shot! Go see it in the theater to get the true sound effects and creepiness of it. I don't think movies like this have the same effect on dvd. Make sure you see the other ones first so that you know where you are in the movie, and since it's been awhile since the last one, watch the 2nd one before you go so you don't get lost. Not that it really picks up where it left off, but you need to remember the history of it. Go see this movie, you will not be disappointed. My friend and I are both in are early, VERY early 40's and almost jumped in each others laps at certain points, so it's not a teen slasher film either. Go see it!

Yes, I recommend this movie.
