It did have a story though, entertainment is debatable but it had a story.
Leila and Hunter have the same birthday, the reason Leila has to complete the ritual with Hunter is because Leila was marked inutero (in Emily's womb) like Hunter and Jessie was, In the unrated cut Leila asks Emily if she died when she was a baby, to which Emily replies that when she was born the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck which made it hard for her to breathe, so this could of gave Toby the chance to meet Leila in her near death experience, I mean why else would they of added that minor scene? it seemed to hold some significance.
Leila seemed to be more 'special' because when Kent told Katie about how there was a special girl just like her and they would need her to find her, and this takes place right after Julie's and Dennis's deaths, so this makes it sound as if Katie and Kristi with the help of Kent and Lois opened a doorway to the fleeges residence which was built on top of K and K's childhood home, which allowed them to send Toby to them because they opened a doorway in the same location but in the future basically, this sounds like some sort of weird
time dilation which means the events DID occur at the same time, but it was just delayed.
THIS is why Toby didn't abduct newborn Leila like he did with Hunter, because they reached out to Leila through Krist's trance state and when Leila played Bloody Mary and you saw a hand print on the mirror, Toby already knew of Leila before her conception, just like he knew Kristi would have Hunter even though she was still a child as shown by the words 'HUNTER' in Leila's room when the priest asks if it means anything to Ryan, AND the beginning of the movie when Kent tells Kristi she's going to have a son who is one of the chosen.
And Kristi's trance state in 1992 actually guided Toby through the fleeges residence, it's all occurring simultaneously, if that makes any sense.
