Again, Hollywood thanks for letting a true-horror fan direct a classic horror film & make it there's for the next generation.

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2006)

Really cool re-telling of Wes Craven's classic horror 1976 film, where truthfully at first I started thinking at the beginning, where's the campness,& the black-humor dialog between the "hills folk", such as there's nothing sweeter than a babies meat! And, they didn't mention that they were even cannibals for the longest time in the remake. Then,the killings began & staying true to the original, the German Shepard gets killed, and the Dad,Mom & Sister get killed in the exact same way as the original, except the new one up it with the character of Jupiter (with the worse case of cleft palette since the dude in Wrong Turn) drinking the Lynne's breast milk from her tit, was very disturbing & definitely made me squirm! Gross! And, then the scene where Aaron Standford's character finds the nuclear test site village & goes to rescue his baby, that was a cool new addition. And, the new character of Big Brain was GREAT! Especially, his oh so very creepy rendition of the Star Spangled banner! And, the scene where Pluto starts eating the Mom after body-stealing her corpse was Just Brutal!!!! I'm surprised the MPAA being so scared of The Christian Right & their start of an Inquisition on the movie industry would allow this great re-make to be so BLOODY! Awesome.Alexander Aja brought him gem of a horror film from France last year in High Tension & thank you for showing us true horror fans that again a great remake is done from a legend of a horror film from the original. Very Cool! Also i liked that they brought up the ages of the characters of Brenda & Bobby, as now they look at least 16-19. Also, Michael Bailey Smith you are a great predecessor to Michael Berrymen. Even better than Monster Man, dude. Go see this if you like unrelenting horror films, who don't care if they offend the good old USA. **** out of ******
