"The wrong time and probably the wrong filmmaker to tackle this project."

I'd vote for kind of a del Toro 'Pan's Labyrinth" demon-haunted fascist ambiance ot maybe a Sam Raimi 'Evil Dead' motif...

I mean you want to capture the hallucinatory paranoia, the Old Testament thirst for vengence, the never ending acquisitiveness. and the zombie-like disdain for non-believers of the Bush Administration in an accurate, realistic way.

And don't forget biting huge chunks out of people. They do that too.
