- Pluto = God of the Dead = Im not really sure how this one works out, to be honest.

Venus would have worked perfect.
except they probably didnt think of her as the pretty one ..

It seemed to me that they were trying to avoid being too thematic with the names. i mean really, backwoods mutants (or hillbillies, depending on the version) that have lived their entire lives isolated from society probably arent going to be experts on the planets or Roman gods....

Probably why the mad rapist kill freak in the remake is called Lizard.

I had a pet iguana called "lizard" [i'm not too original..so shoot me]

Very good remake. Refreshing to see a modern horror movie NOT loaded with WB teen stars. Also great to see Billy Drago in ANYTHING again.

The remake is way better in my opinion. The original was boring, poorly acted, and had horrible fx. I know they didn't have the means to improve those back then, but still, it was too bad for me to like. That and I hate Wes Craven and a writer. Alexandre Aja did a way better job writting and directing.
