Pretty bad
26 July 2021
The first part is pretty well-done standard stalker mystery. It does have a lot of simplistic and heavy-handed feminism thrown in. It is so clumsy it seems like they are presenting a strawman argument. But the suspense builds and the suspects are lined-up, which works quite well in a cheesy kind of way.

The big old houses, icy conditions, dumb cop, and the creepy phone messages hark back to the 1974 original. This one has none of the atmosphere of that film though. It is filmed in a prosaic TV drama style.

But the main sorority characters are barely introduced when suddenly they are all getting murdered in quick succession. I could hardly recall who was who half the time then they are killed. The second half quickly descends into ridiculous superhero sci-fi fantasy nonsense.

Pretty bad.
