watch me

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2006)

I was so emotionally disturbed after I saw this movie that I had to walk around wal-mart for an hour just to shake it off. And after that feeling of despair finally left my gut, all I wanted to do was watch Hills Have Eyes again.
It's like in your bad dreams where everything unspeakable happens at once. Your dad is burned alive, you mother- shot in the head and your two sisters raped by radioactive coal miners. Alexandre Aja is a brilliant man and a master of his craft. His uncanny ability to evoke raw human emotion from his actors and his audience never ceases to amaze me. An example you ask? After the sense I just described (raped, burned alive, etc..) 20 people in the audience got up and walked out of the theater. Not only because it was so intense and gor-ific... but because it was so real. Real enough that those people couldn't handle the thought of people , even imaginary ones, being put through such tribulation.
Before i ramble on any farther, I must insist everyone see this re-make at least once in there life time. You'll never look at horror movies the same way.
