Having not seen the original, I can't complain about how much this one ruined the spirit of it. In the new tradition of "torture porn" The Hills Have Eyes does its best with gruesome deaths and mutated characters, but it's kind of blah.
As an avid horror fan I am a big Wes Craven nut, so needless to say I was very excited about this film. And lets just say I was not disappointed. The acting is really well done the music is cool and has a retro feel to it and the action is very intense and graphic if you are not a horror fan DO NOT watch this. The violence is extreme and some of it even upset me and if you have seen my profile you I have seen quite a few horror films. Well I guess thats all Ill say about this one.
Badly-edited remake with the expected amount of unsettling moments; its sympathetic viewpoints and cultural statements fail and we can only tolerate so many axe blows to the head. Just another remake with the possibility of endless money-grubbing sequels. Final Grade: C-
