A complete disappointment. As a fan of original series i was looking forward to the release of the new version. The history of the franchise has had its ups and downs. Unfortunately, this film is not a good one.
With great difficulty, almost out of sheer stubbornness, I mastered these two hours.
This movie is nothing special at all, unfortunately. There is no intriguing screenplay, no attempt to rethink or breathe new life into a cult film, not even spectacular special effects.
But the weakest part of this film is of course the script, or rather its complete absence.
I understand that for films of this genre to demand some kind of depth or logic is redundant. However, there must be some necessary minimum. Alas, the characters perform some very strange actions that lead to even more strange consequences. I can't force myself to empathize with them at all.
The only bright spot is the decent performance of the lead actress. That's all.

A wonderful independent film with an original plot, humor and decent acting. I had a great evening, thanks to the creators!
Surprised by the laudatory reviews.
An amazingly unsuccessful casting, a family conflict sucked out of the finger, stupid dialogues - an unusually weak film adaptation.
