Kudos for introducing the famous hockey mask - but that's about it. The constant obsession of showing us 'groovy' 3-D effects, which are cumbersome and tiring, and a lazy joining together of boring scenes and uninteresting characters with floppy dialogue, make this slasher film a chore to sit through, with very little slash for your buck. The ending would be pretty cool, if it wasn't already done before. A low point in the series.
