The original film follows a group of sorority girls stalked by a stranger over their Christmas break.
For the movie, the University of Otago's gothic registry building was transformed into the fictional Hawthorne College, before filming shifted to Campbell Park Estate in the Waitaki Valley.
The movie stars Imogen Poots ('28 Weeks Later, Green Room) and Cary Elwes ('Saw', 'The Princess Bride') and is directed by Sophia Takal, who co-wrote the re-telling.
