Title: Well (re)made but completely disturbing
Product review: I honestly can't recall seeing the original movie so I won't compare the stories between the two. This remake wasn't toned down at all in theme or footage, probably a good indication why the movie never hit theaters. The rape sequence(s) was so incredibly disturbing I had to fast forward through it...couldn't watch it. The rest is revenge fantasy and works well. The ending cuts out making you wonder how far she would go for revenge and whether or not that would include the sheriff's pregnant wife and kid. It's a good guess that for politically correct reasons they ended it there; not for a sequel. Truth is that this was a well made movie and the only truly horrific thing in the movie is the scope of human nature and behavior. It leaves you feeling that the revenge, despite it's gruesome nature, was justified.
