How many times have you heard a teen respond to a question in such a manner? Eli Roth has captured very well the essence of of being a teenager in this very cynical society.The actions the characters take are, in context, very believable. When asked why he is hunting the squirrels, the character replies, "Cause their gay". The hunting squirrels joke is a perfect example. The characters are very good representations of the youth of the late 90's. Several reviews have been posted that say the characters are unlikable and do illogical things through the course of the movie. It shys away from the self referencing humor plague that Scream started and succeeds in being a very strange splatter/comedy. This film has been unfairly judged! It is in fact a very good 80's style, Splatter, B-movie. There is additional dialog among the townspeople, different shots, and it shows the FDA man walking around more testing and the Water supply truck is in view longer. Instead of just the cops drinking the contaminated lemonade followed by a country song with the townspeople, the whole entire town shows up and has a cup. Then they pour gasoline and one cop lights a match and cellar goes up in flames followed by more shots of blood and guts on the walls, ceiling, and floor. The human-bonfire scene when they say "We got another one in the basement" immediately goes to a shot of the cellar door opening from the inside, then a bunch of shotguns appear and start shooting like crazy.He yells at the hick as he throws him down there and says "When they get here, tell them I didn't do it!", then slams the door. An additional scene where Rider Strong grabs the long-haired hick after the attack and drags him down to the cellar.In the "R" rated version it cuts away quick and only shows the aftermath from a difficult-to-see angle. The gunshot to Burt's head in the cabin is bloodier.This immediately follows when they hear the dog trying to get Karen in the shed and they shoot a bullet and tell Karen that they will stay outside with her to keep the dog away. A scene of Burt sitting outside guarding the shed with his shot gun.An extended scene of everyone arguing around the fireplace when Burt makes a joke about his burnt marshmallow.When it is discovered that Karen has the disease during an intimate scene, there is an additional scene that follows the "Don't.Leave.Me!" where Burt comes into the room and yells at her about how the truck isn't ready yet, and they have to finish cleaning up the bum's blood.
