If you hated the original, yo'll hate this. If you liked the original, you still probably won't like it. In my eyes, it was good enough to make 5 stars instead of 4, which isn't a huge achievement.
The worst thing about this film I'd say is is the acting. In the original, Malachi and Isaac were scary, believable scary and intimidating. Isaac is like, absolutely a terrible actor. He wasn't scary at all - it was as if he was just reading from the script for the first time. Terrible. Also, Vicki and Burt were likable in the original, now you really couldn't care if they die or not.
I feel bad for Alexa Nickolas! She had to carry a terrible cast - and I hope for her career's sake they don't associate this only film to her acting career. She deserved more on screen time because she was the only really good actor in this film. Even when the little kids die, you really don't feel bad because they are not likable characters - no one in this film is a likable character.
Overall, I give this a film a 5/10. It wasn't the worst film, but in no way was it the best. It had its moments and was a little enjoyable, but chances are I won't watch it again.
