A decent horror film.

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2012)

I do not think that "The Hills Have Eyes" deserved the rating of 6.4 it received...it deserved better. This horror film actually managed to keep me gripped the whole way through. Although the use of deformed people as a scare tactic was indeed prejudice, this proved to be quite effective in scaring me. The use of a ghost town/testing village as the residence of the deformed people was also effectively chilling and eerie. The film, unlike any horror film has done to me for a long time, gave me a much- wanted adrenaline high. I also liked the fact that "The Hills Have Eyes" didn't use excessive amounts of gore and the film wasn't centered on one or several torture scenes. The fact that the film a) kept me entertained b) had a successfully chilling plot and c) kept decency due to less gore has inspired me to give this film the 8 that it deserved.
