David and Amy Sumner (James Marsden and Kate Bosworth), a Hollywood screenwriter and his actress wife, return to her small hometown in the deep South to prepare the family home for sale after her father’s death. Once there, tensions build in their marriage and old conflicts re-emerge with the locals, including Amy’s ex-boyfriend Charlie (Alexander Skarsgård), leading to a violent confrontation.

Um thriller decente se não conhecer a versão original de 1971. O diretor manipula habilmente os personagens (embora o elenco, em alguns casos, não seja o melhor), o enquadramento da paisagem que agrada aos olhos e a construção de tensão. Ele também lida bem com a mudança de assunto para os dias de hoje. Para um público jovem de Crepúsculo, o filme pode ser uma experiência decente (ao contrário de Psycho de Van Sant, cuja existência é um erro da natureza). Mas o conhecedor e admirador do original perguntar-se-á cada minuto porque deveriam assistir ao remake quando este segue os mesmos passos do enredo, mas sem as artimanhas de Dustin Hoffman e Packinpah. E a Sony Vaio na mesa do personagem principal será aceite com embaraço.

The new Straw Dogs is a fairly decent but awfully pointless film. It’s even more pointless than other remakes, because there are already two versions of the same film, and one of them is only two years old. Yeah, I’m speaking about Deliver Us from Evil, an excellent Scandinavian film that I recommend to everyone. The new Straw Dogs I can only recommend to those who want to be on top of everything new that’s happening in the genre. It’s just a better average.

Quite suggestive filmmaking with an ingeniously deceiving direction. What initially appears as another dumb teenage killing road movie eventually turns into a rough survival slasher, where everything fits together as it should, the characters play for their lives, and the plot has unprecedented twists. I haven't seen the remake, but it doesn't bother me that much. This movie works excellently on its own.

Rod Lurie failed to properly create an atmosphere. It's nice that the film tries to approach us with a more modern concept, but it doesn't really matter because the old one hasn't lost any relevance. The beast can manifest in us at any time. Peckinpah used to use nudity and violence to underscore the importance of the film, but nowadays, filmmakers are afraid to do that. The new Straw Dogs is just a poor example of the direction these "mainstream" horror films and especially remakes are taking. Empty confessions that don't hold a candle to the original films.

I saw this remake long before the original of the same name from 1971, and I have to say, it's not even close to as good the original. What is desperately lacking here is suspense and atmosphere. The bland lead actor James Marsden probably needs no mentioning, he will never be Dustin Hoffman. (45%)
