Wissenswertes
A then-unknown John Larroquette provided the narration in the original Blutgericht in Texas (1974). Despite becoming a distinguished actor in the years since, he happily agreed to reprise his role for the remake.

Patzer
The young group is listening to "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd in the van at the beginning of the film. The film takes place between 18 and 20 August 1973. The song was not released until 1974, featured on the band's album, "Second Helping".

Zitate
Sheriff Hoyt: I smell bullshit.

Alternative Versionen
Originally was slapped with an 'NC-17' rating by the MPAA, cuts were made for an 'R'.
Hitchhiker's gunshot suicide reduced blood and brain guts, and a severed ear landing on Pepper's lap.
Morgan's death reduced a wide shot of chainsaw cutting him from below, blood splattering on the floor and his insides falling between his legs.

Way Better than I Expected

The original is a classic, I guess that's why there's a copy of it at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

Taken as a remake, this is a good film. The story was different enough to keep me guessing, the characters were, uhhh, fleshed out a little more. While the original at times seemed like a documentary, this one was a straight-up horror movie, though without too many of the cliches that make modern horror movies tedious.

On it's own, this was a very good horror movie. Well-filmed, well-acted, suspensful, with good characters. The kids in this movie are not all just obnoxious kids--they get into trouble because of a good deed, so I found myself rooting for them, even the annoying one or two. The casting of Lee Ermey as the sheriff is icing on the cake; he definitely brought the movie up a few notches.

While not a classic, this remake is worth seeing.
