This when i first saw it one the shelf, i really did think it couldn't be that good. So what did i do i never brought it that time then a couple of times i had done the same until one day i had a bit extra cash to spend so i thought i would buy it with another one thinking well i can still watch one good film. I really couldn't believe when i first put it on that it was going to be worth while watching but i did. This film had a exellent start that was surprising and with the graphics i thought maybe this could be something to watch. Its mainly about a abandoned area that got bombed by nuclear weapons for a test with people still in the mines. They turned into kind of human eating killers that had been deformed. The family that decide to take a short cut through the desert didn't expect to either die or see there family be killed. Some do live but then they have to rescue the baby that brings the film to a all time high. If you are looking for a great film for christmas this would be it. Even made me jump more than most films do and is a top of my list for the best i've seen for a long time.Read full review
The remake is a joke compared to Craven's amazing 1977 original. Young kids have no clue what a good horror movie is all about and that's why remakes actually make money(actually most of them lose money) I've said this before and I'll say it again, anyone that knows anything about horror movies realizes there is much more to it than pretty people on screen, loud bangs and CG effects. Craven's story about a family on there way to California stop off in the middle of the desert looking for silver. When their Vehicle breaks down they are in for the fight of their lives. A cannibal family living in the hills see a means to survive and plan on feasting on the "fresh meat". So the lighting isn't great, so the effects aren't as good SO WHAT!!!!!!!!! I'd love to see 'any' director take Craven's budget for this film or Tobe Hooper's budget from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and make half of a movie today. Directors today can't even think of an original story. Real fans of the genre will appreciate the originals, the classics such as "Halloween", "Black Christmas", "The Fog", "The Exorcist", "The Evil Dead" etc. People who still need to learn about the genre will prefer the remake fakes. "The Hills Have Eyes" (1977) one of the best movies of the horror genre hands down!Read full review
