What a POS
I rented this hoping it might be a decent, fresh take on the material that I loved so much from the original. The only redeeming thing about it was Linnea Quigley's brief cameo dressed as Suzanne (similarly) recreating her famous bending over scene. Other than that, this film was completely forgettable. Shannon Elizabeth's take on Angela was totally wrong. Mimi Kinkaide's Angela was originally a bad girl who stole food and broke into Hull House to have her party and was knowledgable about Halloween and supernatural. Shannon Elizabeth's Angela is a ditzy, aging goth who rented a mansion to throw a party and didn't get a permit in order to charge people to come. The original was about teens partying in a possessed, delapidated mansion. This one is about 30-somethings pretending they're teenagers and getting possessed by incredibly stupid-looking "demons" who were supposedly brought into the house by a girl who used to live there and contacted them, then hung/decapitated herself when the demons attempted to possess her. LAME! I'll stick witht he 80s original - sure it's cheesy and acting isn't great, but it's campy and fun and has a much better demon mythos and interesting, likable characters. Tits and gore aren't always the best things in a horror movie.
