Intense Horror film

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2006)

Just returned home from the theatre after watching "The Hills have eyes".
I have heard of Wes Craven's original but never had the chance to see it. Therefore I cannot tell you if it is better than the original, equal, or worse. What I can assure you is that is an highly intense movie. You get very attached to the characters, you feel like you are in their shoes. Frustrated and lost when the car breaks down in the desert, scared and helpless when they are attacked by the mutants, angry and revengeful when they attack the mutants. If you also consider that the plot of the movie is nothing special (a family lost in the desert is attacked by mutants), the director succeeds in keeping us at the end of our seats during the whole time.
Whether you are a horror fan or not you should watch it.
