An isolated lake house becomes a shelter for crazy psychopaths where two teenagers are also living. A game of chess becomes violent when the parents of the girls and psychopaths starts playing.
The remake deviates from its source material, giving something new for fans of the original to enjoy/moan about, and employ some imagination with a few of the killings.
Dennis Iliadis's remake retains its ferocious power and provocative themes, and thanks to a focused script that unfolds in real time, it ratchets up the suspense and sucks us into a remorseless cycle of violence and revenge.
