Written by the once mighty Zucker and Proft, this is the weakest entry in the series since the deplorable second film. The film delivers exactly what is expected, but Number Five sorely misses Anna Faris and Regina Hall (Ashley Tisdale and Erica Ash, their unsubtle replacements, do not even come close). The parodies are surprisingly accurate - Mama, Black Swan, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and the Paranormals form the basis of the plot, and there are some reasonable Inception and Evil Dead sequences, but so much falls flat and leaves little impression. When the movie's highlights are slapstick violence inflicted on a game Simon Rex, you know you are in trouble.
