There's a more action-packed third act, it really hammers home a nuclear testing angle to instill the violence with a political message, and a much improved ending. Only portrayed in a harsher, more sickening manner with better acting and pacing. The events are largely the exact same ones as before. This remake tops it in every way though, which is remarkable given how few changes were made to the script. It may have just been a toned-down, southern-fried version of his directorial debut The Last House on the Left, but it was a nasty, brutal film for the time with a creative setting and villains. This remake tops it in every way Wes Craven's 1977 original is a cult classic for good reason. Wes Craven's 1977 original is a cult classic for good reason.
HILLS HAVE EYES MOVIE
This was the most intelligently, well done movie I know of, and I loved it with a passion! Aja, I wish you would direct THe Hills Have Eyes 3 and continue the plot with Bobby, Doug, Brenda, Katheryne, and Beast. It wasn't shying away from the horror of what it would really be like to be attacked unawares by such vicious creatures. It wasn't TRYING to do anything, I don't think. You really feel like you know the characters before they kill them. That's what Lizard wanted to do, and though emotional, it was awesomely done. Rape scene not needed? What the hell? The Carter family didn't need to be attacked by the mutants, but they were. You really feel I wish I could give this a higher vote than 10. I did not go to war with the tailor, which was surprising.I wish I could give this a higher vote than 10.

It would be hilarious, but I expect it might kill her, too. I have a friend who lives in New Mexico, and I am pondering the idea of having him send anonymous notes through the mail with messages like: The random and inexplicable friend request frightened her so much that she deleted her entire MySpace account, which she probably should have done a long time ago anyway.

“That’s two cats having sex,” the police officer informed her.Ībout a week after watching the film, Kelli received a friend request on her MySpace account from an unknown person living in New Mexico, which will apparently be forever known to Kelli as The Land of The Hills Have Eyes people. Upon arriving, he asked Kelli to step out of her car, and when the howling began again, he asked if that was the sound that had frightened her. She closed and locked her car door and immediately called the police, reporting that someone who “sounds like The Hills Have Eyes People is outside my house, and I can’t get inside.”Ī police officer came to investigate the disturbance and escort my sister into her apartment. Upon arriving home after midnight, Kelli opened the door to her car and was greeted with an inhuman howling and screaming that terrified her. A film like The Hills Have Eyes scares the bejeezus out of her, and yet she watches films like this just the same.Īfter watching the film, the following typical, Kelli-like instances occurred. My sister recently watched the remake of the film, despite the lasting and traumatic impact that horror films have always had on her. Have you seen the film The Hills Have Eyes? I saw Wes Craven’s 1977 original and bits and pieces of the 2006 remake, both which center upon a band of psychotic mutants who target a family in the New Mexico desert after their car breaks down.Īn odd premise considering it involves the inexplicable existence of mutants in an otherwise normal world, but it was creepy nonetheless. She lives her life in a way like no one I have ever known, and the people who filter in and out of her life are remarkable in their oddity and ineptitude. She is a treasure-trove of blog ideas, bizarre subplots and characters for my books.
