Not great, but good enough...

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2006)

I'm very sceptical when it comes to horror movies. Most of them suck. The last really good horror film I saw that I had nothing bad to say about was The Ring. That was pretty good. Which brings us to The Hills Have Eyes. It's not bad, but not really great. I liked the violence. It seemed right that it should be so extremely bloody. The tone of it was pretty cool. And the actors did a good job portraying a normal American family, trying to survive in a desert full of cannibals. What I didn't like were the cannibals themselves. They're too funny looking. I couldn't help but think of The Goonies when I saw most of them. It would have been better if they didn't speak. It might have made them scarier. The only other thing I didn't like was the ending. I won't say what exactly happens, but I thought it needed more of a finality (if that's a word. lol) It was left open and I don't like that. But, overall it was okay and worth watching at least once, so.... hey! Why not?
