Awful, awful remake. Takes everything that was great about the original and fucks it up the arse.

I knew I'd hate it from the opening gratuitous shot of an inordinately large bug splattering against their windshield while a Rascal Flatts-alike song played over the top. Took the terrific original and turned it into a stylish, vacant, OC slasher flick.


Yay!! Perhaps our agreement on this film will make up for our 28 Weeks Later chasm.

I've never seen the original. I'm guessing it's better, but I'm not in a rush after watching this. This was just flat out dumb. Miracouously, up to a certain point you care about the characters. Then they just make stupid mistake after stupid mistake, that you kind of want them to end up dead.

As a matter of fact, in the final showdown, I was hoping Bush's character would run out of bullets since the first place she shot Ryder was in the bulletproof vest. Way to go! As a matter of fact, that whole finale was stupid. Like Zing and Mat, one has to wonder how she survived while in the truck as it was completely engulfed in flames I know she ducked down, but where did she hide, as the bottom lit up as well? I would've loved it if she had run out of bullets, and Ryder shot her in the head after all that. It would've been hilarious, and a surprising way to end the movie. Instead we get......

"How does it feel?"

"I don't feel anything."

Clever.
