It's not a remake or a reimagining, it's just another sequel.
A group of young adults are a bit reckless last summer, and now that is coming back to bite them.. by first killing off people who are not them, so good aiming on that killer! When the actual friends start dying, you know you are halfway through the movie, and then it's a matter of surviving to unmask the killer, who is...
Actually, I did work it out before the reveal. To be honest, when this movie came out I saw others talking about, so there is a small chance I remembered, but on the other hand it is heavily signposted and if you take any moment to think about it, you can work it out too.
The problem with the premise of the series is that it starts with a group of young people doing something stupid, and getting punished for it... but the fact that they did something stupid (and it was quite stupid here) means that you aren't necessarily invested in caring about them, which leads to not caring if they actually survive or not. Certainly the main "hot" girl was extensively vain, making me wonder if the movie wasn't even pretending I was supposed to care?
I hadn't seen the first movie for a long while ago, so I'll believe the movie that they were the same actors for those cameos. And the new actors are fine, but see above about not caring about their characters.
We have a promise for another movie, but it's not something I'm hanging out for.
