Executive producer Mark Cuban underwrites a movie worthy of his haircut in this middling blood-and-boobs slasher remake about a psycho scrooge who runs through a house of sorority girls quicker than a half-gallon of Apple Pucker. Brought to us by the makers of the Final Destination trilogy, there's some similarly clever gore, hot-girl horror, and even this incredulous excerpt from our review notes: "Mom rapes 7-year-old son?" but not a whole lot else. If that's enough for you, feel free to check out some meaningless deleted scenes that are nigh-indistinguishable from actual scenes, three dramatically different alternate endings, a making-of that pays some thoughtful lip service to the original, and a second bullshit documentary we didn't watch. If this sounds like your cup of nog, there are worse ways to kill an hour and a half…or a sorority mother…or your own mother…during the holidays.
