 "Director Stewart Hendler's highly unnecessary remake of a 1983 slasher.... It's all so '80s I could die." |

"...botches its attempt to have it both ways: naked, bleeding cuties combined with 'final girl'-ish, butt-whipping empowerment." |

"Even Michael Flatley infidels will find themselves starved for a well-lit close-up of those whirling feet, or maybe just the tantalizing illusion of a swift, blackout kick to the head." |

 "Solemn, unsubtle, and terminally self-conscious... maxed out on a number of fronts, beginning with the emotional investment of its director, Qasim Basir.... storylines play like an after-madrasa special..." |

 "...a sort of Keystone Cops sequence of events is set into motion. Except there are no cops, not much farcical energy, and none of the satiric edge it would take to pull off the film's grim denouement." |
