Why? Stop the madness... no more remakes!

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2006)

As you can see, I did not enjoy this movie- not that I was surprised. Let's face it: we are talking about a remake of a Wes Craven classic (no, Scream does not count!) Taking a beautiful classic like the hills have eyes and then setting some idiot out to redo it... expect a nightmare.
The hills have eyes (2006) shows us just how low our debasement of movies and how low we have truly gone. See, the original did not glorify itself on blood and guts the way this one does- the deaths were intense and instead of thinking "thank god she's dead!!!" you feel sympathy. Well, I did anyways.
The characters have the same name- big deal, did the same thing withe when a stranger calls and managed not to royally screw thet classic over. Also, you can't replace your bad guys- the bad guys in this were plain disgusting and downright evil- in original, you kind of wondered just who was the good/bad in the movie.
What can I say? We have truly hit the lowest form of movie-making and this is just one pitiful example at our fatal attempts to keep Hollywood alive. My advice? Stay home, watch the original, and remember back when Craven was a genius and we had Krugger and all the greats because now, we must settle for these piece of crap remakes.
0/10. Skip at all costs.
