"The Hills Have Eyes" is a 2007 Blu-ray film directed by Alexandre Aja, known for its intense and stomach-churning horror scenes. The movie follows the Carter family as they encounter mutant killers in the desert, a result of nuclear testing in the 1950s and '60s. With a larger budget, special effects, and slick cinematography, this remake of Wes Craven's original 1977 film delivers a scarier and more thrilling experience. Featuring a strong cast, including Vinessa Shaw, and a mix of ironic allegory and tension, this horror film is a powerful and gory thrill-ride for fans of the genre.

Additional InformationWhen their vehicle breaks down in the desert, the Carters are too busy bickering with one another to realise they have entered enemy territory. With his 2006 remake of Wes Craven's 1977 slasher THE HILLS HAVE EYES, French director Alexandre Aja manages to accomplish what many directors fail to do by making his film a definite improvement over the original. With Craven on board as producer, Aja sticks pretty closely to the first film's script and storyline, but with the help of a larger budget, special effects, better actors, and slick cinematography, creates a much scarier story. While the film's setting is contemporary, it maintains a 1970s feel in parts, paying tribute to the decade in which the slasher subgenre was born. With an interesting opening-credit sequence consisting of actual nuclear testing footage, we are told that the film's desert setting was the site of nuclear testing during the 1950s and '60s. Warned to vacate, the miners that lived there refused to leave, thus subjecting themselves to high levels of toxic radiation, and breeding mutant babies as a result. It is this generation of now-grown mutants that the poor Carter family has the misfortune to encounter while driving through New Mexico on their way to California. When their vehicle breaks down in the desert, the Carters are too busy bickering with one another to realise they have entered enemy territory. But it doesn't take long for the demented creatures living in the hills to make their presence known. The gore fest that follows is packed with terribly frightening scenes of the deformed killers delighting in the torment and intended kill of each family member, young mothers, teen girls, and babies included. Much of the film is set in a government-created test city in which deteriorating mannequins take the place of actual humans. Posing lifelessly alongside their mutant neighbours, these waxy figures provide a chilling backdrop for the graphic war between the mutants and their victims.
ReviewsFilm Review - Intensely savage and stomach-churning... a fright triumph, New York Times - Directed in tense, concentrated jabs...the remake establishes a jittery family dynamic as well as the original, Time Out - A heady mix of ironic allegory and seat-edge tension., SFX - A seriously powerful horror, thrill-ride with guts, gore and bloodshed
