Line 20:
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]/[[Adaptation Expansion]] - Oddly, the remake is a case of both. While Aja's 2006 film adds an extended sequence in a nuclear testing town and adds considerable depth to the characters of the Carter family, it also greatly dials back and [[Flanderization|Flanderizes]] the mutant characters, who barely have any dialogue, and are portrayed almost entirely as soulless monsters, {{spoiler|besides Ruby}}. Also, it reduces the role of Fred, the gas-station man.
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Not even the pets were safe. In the original {{spoiler|the director talked about possibly killing off the baby, only for the crew to threaten to leave if this was done}}
** The remake's promotional comic plays this trope shockingly straight when {{spoiler|Doug, the undisputed walking badass [[Papa Wolf]] of a man, and his baby both bite the dust. This was most likely done in order to demonstrate how much the new family does not fuck around.}} See below for further complaining on the subject and [[Canon
* [[Attempted Rape]] - The "stopped violently" part of this trope is {{spoiler|acted upon by the rapist on the victim's mother...}} yeah.
** Only in the remake. In the original there is no attempted.
