Sublime Horror

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2008)

The Hills Have Eyes is a very good, detailed and genuine take as a remake of the original directed by Wes Craven. Cravens artistry bellowed power and significance among most of the horror films he had directed. The remake is by far scarier, more sadistic, more terrifying and gut wrenchingly bloodier than its original. Great horror to me hasn't been created by anyone since The Exorcist (1973) or The Shining (1980.) These two iconic films stand the test of time as great tributes to the horror genre, and i think The Hills Have Eyes (2006) has nearly reached this level. Mabe not as one of the defining classics but certainly a worthy mention.
