The MPAA seam to be stricter now and mightn't object too much to the revenge scenes but I cant see them allowing 2 rapes as brutal as the original, to pass with an R.
Apparently they cut MSP pretty heavy, and if ISOYG remake goes for the same sexual violence, then it to will suffer.
I think the remakes and so called 'Torture Porn' movies of today might be bloodier than films from the 70's & 80's but they don't have the same viciousness or get under your skin the way the original ISOYG and CH, etc did.
I find them too glossy and am never left in any dout that its a film im watching, but some of the older films left you feeling guilty or questioning your morals for watching to the end.
No modern film has ever made me feel like that.
8MM came close with the 1st showing of the snuff film to Cage, then it just seemed to play it safe with the rest of the film, but watching that girls face in the film really had me disturbed and questioning myself, then it kicked into a silly thriller that had so many holes in it you knew you were back in a safe environment.

BTW, Sony Pictures has remade April Fool's Day.(NR)
Its currently advertised on DVD but I imagine this will get a Blu Ray release, as its coming from Sony Pictures .
Now they are getting desperate.
