OK, but not that great...

Rating: 5/10 (8 August 2009)

I don't really understand why some folks on this board have praised this remake so much.
Less compromising than the original? What? - Hell, in the original the cannibal family is actually eating the baby! How can this be "compromising" or "mild" as someone wrote???
The remake has tons of gore and violence, alright. And it has a bunch of new twists in its plot altogether with some sort of explanation that nobody really needs.
But actually, the lame explanation and the "new twists" have taken away much of the story's power.
Don't believe the hype, the new version is OK, but the original is the more interesting film.
