First Time I've Left a Movie

Rating: 1/10 (14 March 2006)

I liked Saw. I liked Saw II. I liked Boondock Saints. I like all the horrible, gory, disturbing movies that no one else does. The Hills Have Eyes was the FIRST movie I have ever walked out of in my life. I was so disgusted, not with the amount of gore, but with the lack of plot and character development. There is a difference between scaring your audience into thinking that something could happen, and taking something that is not plausible and not bothering to create a background for it. The family's combined IQ could not have been greater than 70. This movie did not need to be remade. Nuclear radiation does not make people drink blood and eat raw German Shepherd flesh. I have never been more disappointed with the movie industry, and horror films in general. Do not waste your money.
