development of her character occurs . director craven was unhappy with the film . the producers ran out of money and promised craven could shoot additional scenes when more funds were raised ( this was also how the hills have eyes was made ) , then changed their minds and released the film as it was .

roger ebert hated the hills have eyes . on his website , the film is given one - and - a - half stars . in his review , ebert specifically summarizes the film in relation to its nuclear content . first , when he describes the carter family , he exposes the absurdity of the setting the carter family travels through : “they have hitched up an airstream and are on a jolly family vacation through the test zones where 331 atmospheric nuclear tests took place in the 1950s and 1960s . ” [ 1 ] as discussed in “the historical context of the hills have eyes” , this is a patently false situation . ebert criticizes not only the falsehood of the situation , but its absurdity . in his critical perspective , how could bad things not happen in a setting like this ? ebert also laments over the lack of character development of the mutants in the film , who he describes as being “simply engines of destruction . ” [ 2 ] ebert’s criticism of character in the film is based on his favorable review of another horror film that actively works to develop the “degenerate redneck” characters . considering his criticism in the scope of nuclear horror , the mutants as “engines of destruction” criticism can be viewed as beneficial to the film . if they are engines of destruction , then they are metaphors for nuclear weapons . the nukes have left the hills , but their legacy remains as the cruelty of nuclear testing incarnate .

open to ridicule . . . the hills have eyes 2 . they ' ve also got one hell of a cheek , forcing this nonsense on us again : a sequel to last year ' s remake of the 1978 wes craven original . once again , we are out in the middle of nowhere . it ' s an eerie , isolated stretch of new mexico desert where nuclear testing half a century ago created a feral gang of mutant hillbillies hiding out in their own underground network of tunnels , killing innocent incomers and raping the womenfolk to perpetuate their deplorable race .
the hills have eyes is admired by fellow horror filmmakers , so much so that one of them— evil dead director sam raimi—chose to pay homage to it in a strange way . in the scene in which brenda is quivering in bed after having been brutalized by pluto and mars , a ripped poster for steven spielberg’s jaws is visible above her head . raimi saw it as a message .
fantastically gory sequel to the brilliant hills have eyes . the film keeps the fate of the carter family a mystery , in order to create suspense . first a science team disappears in section 16 , the area of the new mexico desert were the mutants live , the government still denies the place or the people exist , then a group of national guard trainees are sent to deliver supplies to the team but they have disappeared and the trainee ' s are forced to think on their feet as they are thrown into a life or death situation , they soon discover that the mutants need the female trainees , in order to use them as breeders to keep the mutant population afloat , the women as you can imagine dont have a choice ! with graphic scenes of rape , torture , mutilation and murder , this film is not for the faint of heart ! !
in 1977 wes craven first introduced us to papa jupiter’s family . the hills have eyes is a classic horror tale of a family trapped in the nevada desert and terrorized by a family of inbred mutants living in mountains . the film was then remade in 2006 with the inbreed mutants having been exposed to radiation via government testing . craven’s original nightmarish family outing and the remake both still terrify audiences today , and the story was actually inspired by the legendary story of alexander “sawney” bean .
the cannibalistic mutants in the hills have eyes movies reside in an arid , uninhabitable piece of desert terrain in new mexico , where they feast on wayward travelers , partly for revenge and partly for survival . yet as wes craven ' s original has been spun into sequels , remakes , and sequels to remakes , the revenge part hasn ' t been mapped out clearly , and that may be the films ' greatest undoing . it ' s important to remember that these mutants were ordinary people transformed by nuclear testing , and that they ' re victims , too , with good reason to work out their frustrations on the rest of humanity . the premise for the hills have eyes 2 , the quickie follow - up to alexandre aja ' s skillful but gratuitous 2006 remake of craven ' s original , seems like a perfect opportunity to give the mutants their due , since it deploys a group of military people back to the scene of the crime . and yet it stupidly does the opposite , reducing the mutants to mine - dwelling freaks who murder and rape because , well , that ' s what they do .
the remaining reviews lament or celebrate the graphic violence and eerie setting of the film . the reviews show a disconnection from awareness or engagement nuclear testing . the entire premise of the film is impossible without the ambiguous nuclear testing and assumed 1 , 300 square mile zone of fallout it created . the mutants would not be mutants without the nuclear tests , and the audience of metacritic is keenly unaware or uncaring about this . the lack of critical thinking in these reviews shows the casualty of nuclear awareness in these reviews , such that even in a simple and comprehensible film like the hills have eyes , the audience of the film is unable to consider the deeper significance of the film .

the hills have eyes is the post - cold war film considered in this blog , and the specific consideration i give to the reception of the film is how the internet and technology influence and represent its reception . the relevance of the internet exploded rapidly after the end of the cold war , and has defined the growth of my generation . in order to maintain the theme of nuclear horror in the discussion of the film’s reception , i relate the late roger ebert’s review of the film to the popular responses to the film on the website metacritic . com . roger ebert’s criticism of the film shows a keen awareness toward its nuclear horror , and why it is dishonest . the reviews of metacritic users show a profound lack of awareness or care about the representation of nuclear testing in the film , and focus their criticism on the physical violence of the film .

from the dizzyingly psychedelic “ stargate sequence ” to the strange hotel room and the appearance of the nebulous star baby , 2001 signs off with far more questions than answers—questions that have been discussed and dissected for 50 years . but now we might have a concrete explanation of just what was going on from kubrick himself .
writer wes craven ' s initial inspiration for the film came during a casual conversation with producer peter locke . craven envisioned that the previous film ' s character , brenda ( emilie de ravin ) , traumatized by her suffering during the events of the hills have eyes , joins the national guard to overcome her fears . barely finished with basic training , brenda receives a call from her sergeant , who explains that they are sending a team back to the new mexico desert to eradicate the remaining mutants . her sergeant and the team need her , for she is the only one left alive who knows the mutants ' location . because of de ravin ' s involvement in the television show lost , her schedule was unable to accommodate the filming of the sequel . wes craven replaced her character , but retained much of the original concept , including the group of national guard soldiers in training .

directed by music - video veteran martin weisz—in the future , can producers please look elsewhere for talent ? — the hills have eyes 2 assembles the most motley group of incompetents this side of a police academy movie , yet somehow misses the laughs . but humorlessness is probably the least of the film ' s problems , lagging behind amateur - night performances from the no - name cast , a homogenous visual palette ( and from a music - video director , no less ! ) , and lots of pointless sadism . like the aja remake , the film puts a heavy emphasis on disgusting makeup effects and visceral action sequences ; whole characters are defined with less detail than the mutants ' unkempt toenails . the mutants may or may not live to kill again , but at this point , these fussed - over grotesques are better suited to wax museums than movie theaters .

urltoken it ' s simply impossible to dive in and watch the hills have eyes 2 without knowing exactly what it is that your getting yourself into . i watched it wanting nothing more than a good , solid , dumb , stylish , well - crafted exploitation bloodbath . plus i ' m a huge fan of wes craven , and the idea he was writing the sequel to the remake as opposed to sitting on the sidelines and producing made me think that this was going to be even better than i first anticipated . the fact of the matter is , it ' s not very good . a year before this was released alexandre aja ' s 2006 remake at first impact devided critics and audiences , however i personally had a differing opinion , i found it to be atmospheric and captured the landscapes in the same way craven ' s original did , but brought quicker pacing to the table and an exceeding amount of barf - disgusting gore that before the series had lacked . i for one have no problems with cash cow sequels that are terribly unoriginal , as long as they are either equally as good as their predecessors or better . but this remake sequel is predictably dissapointing , the fact it lacks the visual style of the remake , the atmospherics of the original , and also it ' s character profoundness , pretty much leaves you with nothing other than over the top gore . this isn ' t aja ' s the hills have eyes , or even the original in which craven took the directing chair , it ' s just proof of the depressingly low standard that horror movies have tragically succumb to in recent years . it ' s not terrible by quite some distance , it works hard to make sure that the deaths are as gory , bloody and revolting as inhumanly possible , but the problem is , it isn ' t scary , and i never winced once .
this time round there is no american family turning feral to combat new mexico desert dwelling cannibal mutant attackers , but instead wet - behind - the - ears national guard trainees who have popped by to drop off equipment to a group of atomic scientists who just happen to have gone missing .

the movie opens in the new mexico desert , with the mutants from the first film having captured a woman who is being forced to breed mutant children . as soon as she has given birth , papa hades ( michael bailey smith ) smashes her head in with a rock , killing her . nearby , a group of scientists working in the desert hills are attacked by letch ( jason oettle ) . it is also hinted at the beginning of the film that the surviving members of the carter family from the first film were not killed by papa hades ' mutant clan and managed to escape the hills .
wes craven’s 1977 film , “the hills have eyes , ” in which suburbanites battled mutant cannibals , was a pulpy parable of the thin line separating civilization from savagery . last year’s remake was basically the same movie with glossier production values and a less satirical , more bludgeoning approach to violence . this follow - up — in which national guard trainees are trapped on a former atomic test site and are stalked by flesh - eating freaks headquartered in a warrenlike mountain hideout — is essentially a catalog of transgressive images , lighted and edited like a heavy - metal video .

in a video posted to the eyes on cinema youtube page , as discovered by io9 , we see footage of filmmaker jun’ichi yaoi on the telephone in 1980 , with someone who is purported to be kubrick . this was all during yaoi’s documentary on the paranormal , so a natural interview subject would have been kubrick , who was making the shining at the time . during the interview , though , yaoi asks the director what exactly happens at the end of 2001 , to which kubrick gives a full explanation , as transcribed by io9 :
“i took it to mean that wes craven … was saying ‘ jaws was just pop horror . what i have here is real horror . ’”
as mentioned the start is strong acting and truly horrifying for a horror film , but blood and needless gore replace where there could have been more dramatic humanity and thrills .
stanley kubrick’s 2001 : a space odyssey is rightfully hailed as a milestone in science fiction filmmaking , but even its most ardent fans would have a tough time explaining the final scenes of the movie .

nobody in this movie has ever seen a dead teenager movie , and so they don ' t know ( 1 ) you never go off alone , ( 2 ) you especially never go off alone at night , and ( 3 ) you never follow your dog when it races off barking insanely , because you have more sense than the dog . it is also possibly not a good idea to walk back to the wrong gas station to get help from the degenerate who sent you on the detour in the first place .

the hills have eyes i to me was totally unrealistic and quite over dramatic , there was no part what made me feel safe whatsoever . however , i decided to buy the movie box set anyway as it was £4 . 29 on play . com , i watched the first entry and i thought it was disturbing , i gave the second one ago , even after reading the consumer advice of very strong bloody violence , horror and sexual violence . i must admit , this entry was much worse with the rape and the sex etc . but it was definitely the best out of the two . this is how horror films should be . disturbing and slightly unrealistic . it was brilliant . me and my friend think it is the most disturbing horror film we ' ve ever seen and the best . at times it gave me a chuckle with the mutants lusting etc . but the rape was realistic and what unfortunately happens in reality today . greatly written , amazing film
as part of a routine mission , a unit of national guard soldiers stop at a new mexican outpost only to find the isolated research camp mysteriously deserted . after spotting a distress signal in a distant mountain range , the team decides to commence a search and rescue mission into the hills . little do they know that these are the very hills that the ill - fated carter family once visited , and that a tribe of cannibalistic mutants lies in wait . and this time , there is an even larger force of evil at work that is intent on the soldiers ' very destruction .
after the carters turn down the wrong road , they ' re fair game for the people who are the eyes of the hills . these are descendants of miners who refused to leave their homes when the government ordered them away from the testing grounds . they hid in mines , drank radioactive water , reproduced with their damaged dna , and brought forth mutants , who live by eating trapped tourists . there is an old bomb crater filled with the abandoned cars and trucks of their countless victims . it is curiously touching , in the middle of this polluted wasteland , to see a car that was towing a boat that still has its outboard motor attached . no one has explained what the boat was seeking at that altitude .
six wide releases in a single weekend appears to have been at least three too many as most struggled at the box office . on the other hand , with so many new films opening and so many different demographics being targeted , it was a good week at the box office overall with receipts hitting $ 133 million , up 14 % from last week and 22 % from last year . year - to - date revenue has already hit $ 2 billion and is clocking in at nearly 6 % higher than last year ' s pace . more importantly , the number of big hits is increasing interest , and that can have a positive effect on future earnings . i feel confident in saying records will fall this year .
