    Well that was 90mins of my life I won't be getting back.

    Yet another pointless remake of the 1974 film, which was also remade
    back in 2006. But this one seems more akin to "House on Sorority Row",
    having very little in common with the original movie.

    This one focusses on a group of girls at a university sorority house who
    are being stalked by a group of cultists. However, nothing much happens
    for the first hour of the film, then the last half hour turns into a
    rehash of "You're Next".

    BUT, whereas the original was a straight up chiller and the 2006 film
    was a slasher. This one seems to have a supernatural element to it,
    which seems pretty pointless.

    Plus they decided to cram the film full of identity politics, about how
    all men are rapists, who suffer from fragile egos and full of toxic
    masculinity and how women are oppressed victims of the patriarchy, etc,
    etc, etc..

    Long story short, it's just not a very good film. Given how little this
    has to do with the original, they could have done something completely
    new here and called it something else. But for whatever reason, they
    decided to go with a psuedo remake.

    My advice, forget this ever existed and stick with the original.
