This movie holds a special spot for me; it’s the sole franchise I’ve experienced exclusively in theaters, always as the only audience member present. The newest installment follows the central devil (Jack Kesy) who is traveling with a dangerous spider alongside an up-and-coming paranormal investigator called "Bobbie Joe" (Adeline Rudolph). An incident then lands them unexpectedly within the Appalachian woodlands, where they stumble upon deserted coal mines and a disconnected community that feels strikingly similar to “The Deliverance” (1972). The spider is nowhere to be seen, but they meet "Tom," a returning local (Jefferson White), and quickly find themselves assisting him in burying his father and preventing his former girlfriend/local witch "Effie" (Leah McNamara) from falling into the clutches of the actual devil. While the gloomy, foggy atmosphere does contribute somewhat to an impression of mystical danger, the rest of it suffers from poor acting and a script lacking any originality, with very few chances for action or comedy. Kesy appears satisfied simply collecting his payment by aimlessly wandering around, smoking, and gesturing with what looks like a red tail – which, I noticed, seemed like he was wearing goggles on his head, as if they were old horns. Just like those horns, whatever made the initial film successful has vanished, and I doubt I’d even watch this one on a streaming service during a dreary February evening. Enough is enough.
