Lots of Gore with plenty more

Good ole Wes Craven did it again !
Awesome ! I finally watched the latest version of the above movie and I was totally happy with it. The story stuck directly to-the- point and never once wavered in the wrong direction. The acting was very-well done except for the scene midway through the movie when one of the freaks was chasing the young boy. This kid appeared earlier to have great knowledge of firearms but when he was being chased, it reminded me of a toddler with a water pistol. If these mutant rejects had just killed my family, I would be just as blood thirsty as the freaks were. All in all, If you're into suspense and horror, this movie is worth checking-out. The crew who looked after make-up, special effects, and costumes did an amazing job on the freaks. They looked authentic and a lot better then the ones in the original 1977 version. I especially liked the setting of the nuked-village with the old cars, houses, furniture, and mannequins. It got me wondering if there really are places like the one in the movie ????
