One of the better horror remakes of recent years, for several reasons: the title sequence is wonderfully disturbing, some of the scenes are really exciting and scary, the acting performances are convincing and their characters not entirely as stupid as in other films of the genre...( read more)
A family driving through the desert in their mobile home are hijacked by a group of mutants living amongst the ruins of a nuclear test site. I hated the original version of this movie with a passion. It seemed to me to be a load of gratuitous ugliness aimed at voyeuristic sadists...( read more)
If all the savagery and explicit carnage had a good story to support it, I'd probably have a little respect for this inane, purposeless trash.
And I quote...
It always begins with the Wrong Gas Station...in real life, most gas stations are clean...ish, well-lighted places, where you can buy not only gasoline but groceries, clothes and electronic devices. In horror movies, however, the only gas station in the world is l...( read more)
Shocking. Disturbing. At times hard to watch. But these terms also accurately describe this brutally vicious upgrade on Wes Craven's 1977 low-budget horror classic. The movie begins with the showing of original footage from some of the 311 nuclear tests that were carried out by t...( read more)
It was good. Some parts made me look away (because of the gore) but other than that it was a good action/horror/suspense movie.
It's actually just an improved version of the original, which I was pleased to see. The acting talent was extremely better, the effects were great and the music is some of the best horror score i've heard in a while. The freaks are handled so much better, giving them a truly cree...( read more)
I'm a man, and I can withstand a lot of crap... but this movie has a rape scene that sends chills. other than that this movie is Deliverance and Wrong Turn on steriods. intense and strange at parts. Leave your brain at the door and prepare to absorb some funky charactors
What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying. full review
It's pretty dull to watch people killing each other for an hour and a half, no matter how bloody the pickax work gets. full review
This is not a remake or reinterpretation of Craven's film so much as a recapitulation of ideas from that film and other movies. full review
There is a strange lack of tension and no real jolts of fear in this remake of the 1977 Wes Craven film. full review
It is not faulty logic that derails The Hills have Eyes, however, but faulty drama. The movie is a one-trick pony. full review
Using considerable creative intelligence and millions of dollars with no purpose other than profit by inspiring bloodlust is monstrous. full review
Aja also comes out squarely against nuclear testing. How brave. What good is a wallow in sicko sadism if you take all the fun out of it? full review
Oh my god i loved this movie very worth while seeing i watched it 4 times in a row im 12 and am a horror movie freak i loved it except it wasn't that scary. the second one tho is not the best the 1st is better.
the worse and sickest movie ever made the guy who thought of this shit should be put away in a small box and never let out
Great remake & a very brutal horror flick that's way better than the original.
this movie is really good. my dad got it and me him and my step mom was watching it and he got a phone call so he went outside to talk and left me and my step mom inside. She had nail marks on her arm when it aws over.
