] What follows, surprisingly given our times and political ] climate, is refreshingly vulgar, completely un-PC and, ] much like the original, an expected excuse for extremely ] sadistic humor and gore. Where the first film now seems ] boring and slow, the new version is upbeat and ] well-paced. Happily and sadly, the first and only fully ] clothed female victim to get tied up and quartered by ] horses is the film's only waste of T in a movie ] overflowing with T&A. Many viewers may be offended by the ] black humor and straight-up racist jokes that pepper the ] film's dialogue, but those of you can rest assured that ] everyone gets their due by the end. It'll be ] interesting to see how the red states will react to such ] a searing and scabrous document of the South. Englund ] seems to imbue Mayor Buckman with a well-judged imitation ] of President Bush, and even the lives of his two sons in ] the film appear to closely ape those of the Bush ] daughters.
