When people start disappearing in a small town, it’s up to a game warden, his girlfriend, a doctor, and the sheriff to figure out what happened, while dealing with their own interpersonal drama.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

This remake, although it has heart, is as mundane as its classic 1959 creature feature counterpart.\u00a0 \u00a0There are a few updates, most notably that the giant leaches aren’t people in giant rubber suits.<\/p>\n

The story followed the original to the point that I wondered for a while if they had even written a new script for the remake.\u00a0 They did.\u00a0 This is another of those films that would be easy to tear apart, but to focus on the positive, this was clearly a labor of love with the film makers wanting to emphasize what they likely believed were the good aspects of the original and update some of the antiquated bits.<\/p>\n

It was okay and I’m glad I stumbled across this, I’d actually intended to revisit the original as kind of a respite from the Horror Fest I attended this weekend.<\/p>\n

I would recommend this only for the curious who enjoyed the original, it’s very low-budget and it shows.<\/p>\n
