IMO it's one of the better ones of the franchise and wraps up the story nice and neat. It fills in some of the blanks that the earlier movies left as cliffhangers.

You've still gotta explain this one to me. I didn't see much connection to the other installments.

In Ghost Dimension, Toby was finally able to possess a real body, but that happened in like 2014 or something.

Spoiler!

Next of Kin takes place in 2021. We know that demon is named Asmodeus and the Beiler community has been using women of a certain bloodline to trap the demon inside them for 200 years.

Based on everything we saw in Next of Kin, Asmodeus had been trapped in the main character's mom for at least the past 20 years or so. Assuming that's the case, how would it be possible that Asmodeus and Tobi are the same demon?

Plus the midwives coven from the originals were a totally separate group from the Beilers. The midwives coven were the bad guys. They were using women, and first born sons, to try to bring Tobi into this world, meanwhile the Beilers had been keeping Asmodeus from having free reign in our world.

Unless I missed a bunch of big things, there really wasn't a connection.
