Being a fan (not a huge one, bug a fan) of the first and especially the second, which still remains the best and scariest, it does not take a blind man to see that this series has finally lost it. The suspense squeezed out of the original style (Night 1 and so on) has now turned into complete and utter boredom. As dull as a butter knife. Yes, Directors Joost and Schulman (whose Catfish was brilliant) has some inspired ideas, like the Kinect Night-vision, or a mysteriously vanishing knife that causes a bit of tension. But none of it compares to their better executed ideas in their third entry, like the oscillating fan cam, or the crashing kitchen. PA4 only benefits from it's amiable young stars, who are genuinely likeable and believable. Other than that, the franchise was ran out of steam, the final nail in the coffin has been hammered, and they should just stop now. Unfortunately, the 5th entry is already in the works. Let's hope this one was just a bad buildup to a scary follow up, if I even care to see it. SKIP IT!
