The hills may have eyes but they'll also have dismal box office returns

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2006)

I loved Haute Tension and thought it was the best horror movie I saw last year. I just saw this movie an hour ago and was completely overcome by bewilderment. This film is boring and does not have any sort of style. The actors weren't bad. Parts of the film looked great but overall the film had a terrible pace and was a complete mess. The main characters are completely unlikable and the villains are just downright hysterical. This film had potential but all it amounts to is bad decision making: Wes Craven had no business trying to remake this film and the director had no right to even attempt directing it. I was not turned off by the blood, violence or gore but rather, by the bad directing. Rob Zombie would have done this remake far more justice.
