This reboot picks up where the original left off: The only survivor is a baby, who returns as an adult to claim her heritage. After too much dialogue the killings finally begin: bloody, blunt-force-trauma butcherings. Of course, they’re more explicit than the 1974 versions, but they still have the same grungy, low-budget brutality. If you liked the original (which is one of my faves) you won’t be disappointed. That being said, in striving to maintain the style of the original, they’ve abandoned any hope of freshness. NOTES: Saw it in 2D and didn’t miss anything. STAY THRU THE CREDITS for a final surprise.
