Trying to manufacture camp on purpose is as fruitless as trying to make primitive art in a factory. But that's the blatant aim of this remake of a 1973 occult cult classic--hence the over-the-top visual effects, the showy lesbian overtones and the general '70s-horror vibe. Casting Kate Jackson, from the original Satan, shows how desperately this 6-6-sex flick wants cult cred.

To think a "trial" conducted within the council, itself a body lacking in legitimacy, will yield anything close to the truth is foolish. To proceed with such blatant disrespect for the will of the students is dangerous. We are dismayed that the council voted last night to proceed with the motion even after a significant minority supported killing it on these philosophical grounds...
