I am not a fan of the original three films. I love Ron Perlman, but the films he was in (and the 2019 "reboot", which he wasn't in) just were not that good. Lots of source material to choose from and yet, they never really matched the tones and themes of the comics.
This one, however, did. Some inventive camerawork, solid cinematography and excellent location work really elevated this film well above the other three in spite of the meager budget.
The plot is straightforward enough and it's really a character-driven one about a small town where all the inhabitants are seemingly cursed, and rather than relying on flashy effects (which would detract from the look of the film, IMO) or quippy one-liners, the film concentrates on the characters, both good and bad.
It's well worth your time to catch this film if the other ones never appealed to you.
