Not a remake by any sense of the word. Reimagined as someone else had stated, I'd go along with that. The only thing this movie took from the others were the names of the characters. What was with Dr. Loomis?? No way would the original turn into such a money grubbing parasite. The original Laurie was a goody goody and this Laurie was ?? I don't even know. The word of the day was F@#K!
I gave it 2 to 3 stars for the intense, brutal and horrific killing scenes. Lots of blood and sound effects. Not for the faint of heart or for the kiddies. Leave them at home. Found a few mistakes too, that makes it fun also.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Highly anticipated the 4th chapter of the FD series. I was kind of disappointed with the results. Lots of CGI made the "cool gory scenes" look very cartoony. Some of the potential good scenes were shown way to fast to allow the time for the viewer to achieve the shock or gross out effect. Although some of the gross out scenes were done fairly well. Storyline wasn't very strong and way too many flashbacks or it was a dream scenes. Overall this film was not as good as anticipated. I guess it would be okay for a rainy day if nothing else was playing.
I was ready to walk out after 15 minutes and I have never walked out of a film. Stupid, stupid, stupid. This film was nothing like I expected. It attempted to be a very poorly filmed documentary about what seemed to looked like giant cockroaches living in the slums of Detroit that were trying to get home with the help of a really bad acting cockroach mutating man. We should have stayed home.
