On a Scale of One to Ten...

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2010)

I would have to say it is a 7.
I give this movie props for being so gutsy to make a remake of the previous "The Hills have Eyes" in the 70's. I enjoyed this remake better than the original, I am like that with a lot of movies (TCM,House of Wax, Halloween..) yet this one just made me meditate on how well it was directed. I enjoyed the actors and I thought over all acting and dialog features were a plus.
Defects to the movie were, I have to say, should have been more gory. I have the feeling that the family shouldn't have been killed all at once, but then again, I couldn't imagine the movie without it.
I enjoyed the makeup effects on the "cannibals" yet I wish there should have been some flashbacks of the cannibals in their.. previous life.
If you want a good thrill for a night, than pick this up at your local rent shop. Or buy a used copy at hastings.
