The Hills Have Eyes: This movie has horrible synergy with 'good' people

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2006)

I sat down and watched this flick with high hopes. Its publicity made me into the typical 'experiment gone wrong' viewer.
I know in horror flicks people die and often you get a sense of right and wrong and what should be. If you make a movie like 'The Hills Have Eyes' you may want to consider the back-lash of ending it without closure!
The bloody movie, ends with some tool-belt looking through his binoculars and a hopeless situation in which the so called victors are stranded in the desert with next to know hope of escape.
Most people want the protagonists to win or at least be comforted in knowing that all is not in vain. The twisted individuals responsible for ending it in such a way make the viewer upset and even resentful for the lack of creativity in which the story finished. Maybe some would argue ending a movie in free-fall is suspenseful and allows the viewer to assume the 'post-mortum' which would undoubtedly occur or not, but it is just a stupid way of saving money and hiding the lack of brain cells involved to wrap up a movie with a little class.
Someone should give the people responsible a good shake because the reality is, if they want to reach more people and have good feed-back they will end the movie not cut it off.
