Might be one of the better horror flicks as of the present.

Rating: 8/10 (14 July 2007)

I watched this updated version before I saw the original and this movie was intensely scary. The ideas of being stranded in the middle of nowhere and there is (unbeknownst to the victims) a family of mutated cannibals living within and around the surrounding "Hills" is enough to keep me from driving in the desert. The theme of revenge at the end of the movie really impressed me, many horror flicks have omitted that technique as of recent. But I felt that the revenge was perfectly done and deserved. I don't know how Wes Craven feels about this flick but I really enjoyed it a lot, if you have seen the original, make note how eerily similar both movies are. The girl "Ruby", the family (portrayed exactly as the original) etc, etc, and so on. Where is Michael Berryman? He kicked butt in the original. 8/10, could've used some more "umph" but otherwise I was satisfied.
