I think for this movie to have been a success it had to be different from the previous 3 movies in terms of the story and the scares, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I thought the plot was decent and it felt intriguing mostly thanks to Kathryn Newton who I thought portrayed her character very well, but I felt the ending was anticlimactic because it felt rushed and kind of similar to the previous movies. Although I did find most of the plot intriguing, I felt like it could have been better written as it didn't feel linked to the previous movies for the most part and I would've liked Katie to have had a bigger role in the movie or more insight of what happened to her after the events of the first movie.
