An unnecessary, shallow remake of a film that was never good in the first place. It's just not a good movie and could have been called something entirely difficult if they simply changed the killer.

It was an ok but overly thought out remake. I did the laugh when the classic trope was flipped and it was the guys slumber party that was doing the silly topless dancing.

The power drill killer is actually well played and creepy so props to that actor. The reimaging of the 1982 film had some good ideas. Switching the gender roles and having the male characters portraying how women are usually shown in horror films could have have been smart and made more of an impact but it was only used during one pillow fight and shower scene. Then its forgotten. This film also suffers from "quirky teen syndrome" with characters lines trying to be hard tomake the actors sound "edgy and cool" which becomes annoying very quickly as no one in real life ever talks like this. It was also disappointing to see smart characters randomly become dumbed down just to add numbers to the kill count. The first half was promising but unfortunately it fizzled out and the corniness took over.

Let's normalize not appreciating this kind of campy horror just because it's seen a lot in the genre, and unfortunately it's usually appreciated because apparently the gimmick and the cheapness adds something I just cannot perceive. The quality of this movie is abysmal.
