Bloody, nasty, disgusting, and really good!

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2006)

I recently viewed the unrated version of "The Hills Have Eyes" (2006) and thought that it was really good (I didn't see it in theaters, so this is my first viewing). I didn't think that it was all that scary, maybe a little freaky, but not that scary, but it was very very disturbing. Very bloody, very nasty, very disturbing. But as disturbing and nasty as it was, I expected it to be more disgusting.
I liked the characters, and the dialogue was pretty good, thankfully it wasn't cliché like in most other horror movies. This movie is sorta emotional, it had me feeling for the characters, and cheering for them when they got away or "beat the bad guy". Unlike most horror movies (i.e. Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween), it didn't have you cheering for the villain(s). This movie had me hating the mutants and hoping that the protagonist(s) would get their vengeance.
The plot was decent, it wasn't cliché or predictable, there was some plot holes though, and it left some things unanswered. I felt though, that this plot premise is overused, stranded in desert, characters find they're not alone, etc (yes, I know this is a remake but it doesn't matter).
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, and highly recommend it to horror fans, 9 out of 10 for "The Hills Have Eyes" (2006).
