5/10
**SPOILERS** Thrills aplenty but the whereabouts of all the promised answers remains unknown

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this last night and I was hugely disappointed because the writers have gone on and on and on about it being this big finale that would answer all the questions - it failed massively to fulfill those claims. I expected an ending that would be slightly open for a revival but the actual ending was wide open and left me with more questions than I had before I saw the movie! I didn't mind "seeing the activity" - that, for me, wasn't the biggest gripe I had...that being said, I felt that their efforts were weak when showing Toby and they seemed to spend so much time messing about with the camera instead of getting on with some good storytelling. The whole prophecy reveal was pretty weak (I think the whole Toby needing a human body was pretty weak and somewhat predictable, and the whole Hunter/Leila shared birthday idea felt lazy), no adult Katie and I'm still none the wiser as to what the "ghost dimension" actually is! One thing that always intrigued me during the previous movies was what Toby was saying to Katie and Kristi to make them giggle and become friends with him...I honestly thought this type of dialogue would be included because of the special camera and that Leila communicates with Toby but we didn't even get that which was a disappointment. I liked the whole thrill-ride aspect towards the end but the story was really lacking and, I think, the writers did not deliver on their promises.
