Unbelievably bad

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2009)

Where to start with this crap. It's trying to be like the original and Texas Chainsaw Massacre mixed into one huge melodramatic hunk of celluloid crapola. The Hills Have Eyes is geared for a teen audience and never lets you forget it. It's laughably bad. The acting is just a smidge above House of 1000 Corpses and the directing is possibly worse (if that's possible). The cinematography (hardee-har-har) is like an MTV music video of the lowest quality and just as irritating (jump cuts and illogical angles and edits). The characters are just stupid (both enemies and heroes) and I was just hoping everyone would drink poison and die together in the first five minutes and end the pain. I've seen more entertaining pre-school plays. I love good horror films but this is just an absolute lowest common denominator money grab. If you liked this film, congratulations on not finishing grade 8 and good luck with that service industry career.
