Not Worth Your Time

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2006)

The director is standard. The actors are fair. The film is mildly thrilling until the murderous rape scene, at which point it becomes offensive and sadistic. If the success of this film is to be judged on its faithfulness to the current horror film trend of trying to "one-up Saw," than this film may be deemed a success. Yet, on all other counts this film is certainly a failure. Even though I did not enjoy Saw, I sat through the whole thing. However, during my screening of The Hills have Eyes, I walked out as the rape scene was ending. This was not because I "could not take it," but because I found that watching a bunch of freaks torture, tease, rape, and kill an innocent family for no reason lacked importance in my Friday night.
