One of the few re-makes I actually prefer over the original. This one just got everything right, in my eyes. It's dirty, disgustingly torturous feel isn't a turn off, for once in recent cinema. The ending is satisfying and makes it worth the grueling experience. |

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- |

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. |

"The Hills Have Eyes" by Yojimbo |

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. I was willing to give this a go however because I was quite impressed with the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and generally try to keep an open mind (except where it comes to musicals of course.) On the plus side, it actually bothered to make the victims 3 dimensional characters, and they were in fact quite a likable, mildly dysfunctional bunch; pretty much like an ordinary family. It also avoids visual gimmickry, and the dreaded shaky cam, which I was thankful for. And it kept my attention til the end. On t... |
