Viewing Notes
Not the worst of the series, but not the best by a long shot. There’s some pretty silly stuff in the middle of this movie before it delves into darker territory by the end.
Probably the least coherent in terms of the plot, given that the major plot point is such a jump from Beneath. Still, it does set up Conquest quite nicely.
