The ending is a tribute to Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs (1971)

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2006)

On the audio commentary of the DVD, art director/co-screenwriter Gregory Levasseur said that him and Alexander Aja were paying tribute to Straw Dogs. I thought this was a cool idea. They also mention that they were paying tribute to True Romance(1993). I still have to say that the original Hills Have Eyes(1977) was a lot better. The cannibals were more likable and normal in the original. Also, the themes and symbolism was great too. Having a normal family turn to their dark side and being just as savage as their enemies is neater than suggesting the negative after effects of atomic testing like in the remake. The best part about the remake was the tribute to Straw Dogs.What do you think about this smart idea? Please be honest.
P.S. STRAW DOGS IS ONE OF THE GREATESET FILMS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
