I like the first two and while I can't remember anything about three or four but I thought the fifth entry from 2011 was pretty good. Given the profitability of the franchise it's surprising they didn't get ran in to the ground with one a year and actually let it sit.

It occurred to me I really had only seen 2 through 5 once each so I gave them all another go. Watching them one after another did them no favors. I was shocked to see Ramona Flowers was the star of the third one. Even for formulaic horror sequels these were formulaic.

Nice to see Tony Todd getting paychecks though and some of the catastrophes are visually interesting. It's too bad the "I Googled visions and this exact same thing happened before" kept popping up along with nothing really new for in-between stuff as far as story. Exposition dump, try and break the chain, kinda fuck it up, maybe we're good, time skip, everyone's dead. These are way better than true garbage like The Bye Bye Man but pretty forgettable.

That log scene from the second one will forever stay with me. Granted, logging trucks like that don't exist in Hawaii, but I will still forever never follow behind a truck carrying them.

The first movie was a clever take on how to deal with knowing your own mortality, with different strategies such as fearing it to seeking it out, and to accepting it. Then the sequels were all about doing weird rube goldman machines of death

I've never seen any of them which are worth a first time watch? 1 and 2?

The first one for sure and you can keep going through the sequels until you've had enough. They're all watchable with their own good and bad bits. Part three even stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead for some fucking reason.

If you don't feel like watching each sequel but are kinda curious you can watch the disaster that opens each plus the ending. The middles for 2-5 are pretty interchangeable. The second one has the best opening disaster though. It still occasionally gets meme'd on even.
