The Hills Have Eyes

THE LUCKY ONES DIE FIRST.

A family traveling through the New Mexico Desert take a shortcut and are stranded; they are soon attacked by a cannibalistic family of freaks. A remake of Wes Craven’s grisly 1977 film (with his blessing) that offers a good cast, a certain amount of tension and many terrifying sequences that are surprisingly well directed. The symbolism from the original film stays intact. However, it doesn’t take long before you begin to ponder the films purpose. After all, nothing has been changed, really, making it a somewhat pointless exercise. 

2006-U.S. 105 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Alexandre Aja. Screenplay: Alexandre Aja, Gregory Levasseur. Cast: Michael Bailey Smith (Pluto), Tom Bower (Gas Station Attendant), Ted Levine (Big Bob Carter), Kathleen Quinlan, Dan Byrd, Aaron Stanford.

Trivia: Co-produced by Craven. Followed by The Hills Have Eyes II (2007).
