| Elevator Pitch |
The franchise continues to spoof current movies (of 2013) so the plot involves a couple who are looking after feral chldren in a house which is subject to psychic events while they are videoing everything with a hand held camera. Meanwhile the husband is working in ape intelligence, the apes are smarter than he is and the wife becomes a ballerina in a version of Swan Lake. |
| Content |
People lose limbs in a cabin in the woods, frantic events take place in the house, the wife becomes involved in a lesbian affair at the ballet school, the apes throw excrement. Quite a number of poor jokes. No nudity but some symbolism of lesbian sex. |
| A View |
Thankfully a very short film, and so far for me the least bad of the franchise I have seen. At least there is some continuity and Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan only appear before the opening titles. I admit to laughing a couple of times but I was a bit concerned that children were involved in what is quite a vulgar presentation. |
