Better and Scarier than 2!, 20 April 2003
Author: scarecrowman from The Shed That Is Not To Be Used

I was not expecting this film to be the least bit scary when I saw it. Especially after seeing it's trailer before I got a chance to see it. This was, however better than the first sequel. It actually did a great job in creating cinema tension. That is not easy to do. Not well at least. The woods scene was the best part, though this film doesn't really ever lack. The acting in this one is actually the best acting in the series. This is definitely worth a look!
