Could have been so much better.

I have mixed feelings. For one thing, it goes back to the old fashioned slasher movies, with some updates. Adds more nudity than would have been allowed in the late 1970's-early 1980's, adds a twist with the posting of pictures, but allows the actors to do really dumb things. In some ways, that is infuriating as it degrades the women making them weak. The idea that women have not progressed in over a decade is insulting. It is Halloween, and seven years since there was a terrible murder and it seems the father still hasn't been able to move on from the loss of his daughter. And this strange man with a white bag (pantyhose?) over his head is certainly busy killing off young women. But those at risk, when they have the chance, don't seem to know about 911. So yes, the movie is populated with attractive young actors with lots of nudity, but the story is stuck in the 1980's. So either set the movie in the 1980's, or update the skill set of the victims. They still may not survive, but they might do things differently. The acting is decent for the roles as written.
