The gimmick returns! Did you know there are six of these fucking things? Don't worry, this is the last one we're going to cover. Wendy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) gets a premonition about a roller coaster coming off the tracks and manages to get herself and seven other people off the ride before the vision comes true. Now death is blah blah blah, same thing as last time.
The franchise was definitely losing steam by this point. The deaths are all in pairs which both lessens their impact and provides a lot of empty space with teenagers not dying in gruesome ways. Tony Todd makes another cameo but only in voice form and Winstead is the only name you'll recognize from the credits (though there is a guy named Texas Battle, which is awesome) and there's really not much more to recommend it. In some ways, this feels more mean-spirited in tone, more nihilistic. The other two had a kind of dark-hearted fun but this one seems to be more serious about hating irritating teens.
Pumpkin rating: 3.1/5
