Early reviews show critics really loved the acting and connection between Monroe and Winstead. The new film generally follows the same story as the 1992 original, but with a contemporary update. Opinions are split on whether this was a successful approach; some reviewers appreciated the changes, while others felt the new version lacked the intensity and felt forced when compared to the original.
Maika Monroe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are both well-known in the horror-thriller world, earning them the label of ‘scream queens.’ Monroe’s notable roles include the hit film Longlegs – Neon’s biggest success – as well as It Follows and The Guest. Winstead started her career with appearances in Final Destination 3 and 10 Cloverfield Lane.
