a remake thats better than the original!

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2006)

this is one of the best horror remakes of the last few years.the original wes craven film was good but it looks very dated now.it follows the original script closely but adds in some new fodder for the mutants to kill in some very inventive ways.some scenes are shocking especially the rape scene.the director doesn't shy away from the violence at all.this film is very similar to wrong turn.so if you liked that you will love this.its a shame Micheal berryman wasn't included somewhere because he made the first film what it is.the acting throughout is good.ted levine is very good.the make up effects are very good.some of the best seen in a flick like this.i liked the end of the film.the mutants get what they deserved.in my opinion they got off too lightly in the original.a must see horror film.
