The acting is serviceable to the needs of the plot, I liked the characters, the dialogue didn't irritatingly over-rely on the F word like earlier films, I liked how it was lit, it's briskly paced, it kept me guessing, and the twist is satisfying. Although it has its gory moments, there's nothing as extreme as say in 4... that is until the final scene. I actually liked that it didn't go for gross for the sake of being gross. Overall, it's nothing ground-breaking, but fans should be entertained.

Thanks. Seems like one for the collection when it hits dvd then.
