Better than I expected.

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2006)

The movies have, as of late, been awash with garbage like Hostel and When A Stranger Calls. Cautiously optimistic of The Hills Have Eyes, I left fairly surprised - it was the first decent horror movie I'd seen in quite a long time.
The Hills Have Eyes is not for the faint of heart. The body count is high and the violence is gritty. Never before have I seen a movie depict a shotgun suicide quite the way The Hills Have Eyes does. Definitely a "holy s**t" moment.
If you're looking for something with an amazing storyline or lovable characters, look elsewhere. The Hills Have Eyes brings shocking amounts of gore and guts to the table, but that's about it.
