More than 30 years after the original hit screens, along comes the very best of the sequels.

Reams of tedious exposition finally give way to a random jumble of horror movie clichés, rising to a shrill pitch of hysteria that is never remotely frightening.

It rates fairly high on both the Scare-O-Meter and Gross-Out Scale, with an early hyena attack guaranteed to have you flinching in terror.

Blood, flies, maggots, ravenous hyenas, power failures, grave-digging and much ineffectual voodoo ensue.

Contrived, cliché, murky, muddled, and an utterly gory mess...

Never feels like anything other than generic, brain-dead, Dolby-jolt, multiplex hackwork -- I kept expecting Skarsgard's habitually catacomb-prowling Merrin to bump flashlights with Lara Croft.

This is not horror. It's sadism.

As shocking as an Dokken album cover and, finally, as pious as The Passion of the Christ.
