This Time it Aint no Strawberry Jam
Chuck Russell constructs a great remake of the original and has the audacity to kill off Donovan Leitch (SP?), the Steve McQueen type hero, all-american boy nearly at the very start. But Kevin Dillon fills in wonderfully as the James Dean rebel without a cause but plenty of clues to help save Shawnee Smith and the whole town from a biological man-made weapon which the secret powers that be want to use to destroy communism forever. The problem with this weapon is that it wants to eat us too so the military and CIA types really anger this thing and it darn near kills off everybody until.....well, the ending is too horrible to be believed...you'll have to see it for yourself. This is an excellent remake. Wait...what's that? It's..no! AAAUUUUUGGHHHH!
