Very good recontextualizing of the original film's content into the town's very foundation and history, not that it is something it could be ignored less than 100 years on since the murders. It's also a bit more respectful in that since it isn't based on any real events it doesn't feel nearly as exploitative or ethically questionable as the original is. Sadly the ending doesn't stick the landing but it doesn't muddy what came before, which is mainly pretty solid.
