A family's horror

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2006)

Phwe...this movie is really hardcore, although it really has about ten minutes of violence in it. It concentrates on outbreaks of violence in two extreme hardcore scenes. I was very surprised to see the rape scene in a Hollywood movie, mostly because Hollywood doesn't like breaking with tabus. Maybe it was because the director is french and doesn't care about breaking with the rules. Anyway...the first scene takes place exactly halfway through the movie with a family lost in the desert being more less wiped out in about three minutes - the second scene is the son-in-law hunting down the mutants and killing them with an axe, dog and shotgun. I wasn't really shocked by the movie for being a splatter and gore fan, but I most admit it had some tough scenes in it (the rape scene made me shiver). And from all remakes at the time, this one is worth checking out.
