The Hills Have Eyes (2-Disc Edition) description
Fans of Wes Craven's more recent major studio work (the Scream series) may be put off by the low-budget griminess of his sophomore feature, The Hills Have Eyes, but the director's longtime supporters and aficionados of '70s horror will be riveted by this unsettling culture clash fable. Originally titled Blood Relations, Hills strands a suburban family (which includes E.T.'s Dee Wallace Stone and future documentarian Robert Houston) in the desert and pits them against a clan of inbred cannibals. The resourceful killer brood quickly decimates the outsiders' numbers, forcing the survivors to fight back with equally savage means. Like Craven's debut, Last House on the Left, Hills is a relentlessly tense film which demolishes numerous societal taboos (fratricide and infant kidnapping, for starters), but it also delivers a powerful subtext about family and the fine line between civilization and animal behavior amidst the mayhem. Highly recommended for Craven completists and fans of no-holds-barred horror. --Paul Gaita |

Absolute rubbish

I never saw the remake of this. I watched the original recently. I have never seen such an amateurish, laughable mess. The acting is appalling and some of the cannibal performances are actually unintentionally hilarious. The blood and guts look very artificial. I dunno. I was lead to believe that this was a video nasty and quite shocking. I found it shocking alright...but not in the way that was intended.
Do yourself a favour and watch Deliverance instead. It is far far better |
