Yet another awful movie, that will be loved by most of teen America

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2006)

Let me start this off by saying, I have not seen the original "Hills Have Eyes", I do plan to see it soon though. However, that being said, the new 2006 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" is awful. I remember reading about it awhile back and thinking it might be decent because it had an original story line. Well outside of the initial concept of the movie, nothing else is original. For the first 50 minutes or so of the movie what we get is a very slow drawn out "charcter development" phase. This portion of the movie blows the concept of pacing the movie out of the water and really drags the film down as a whole. Outside of pacing problems, we have a lot of scenes that play out like a really bad version of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". This movie was made for the type of teenagers in America who are easily impressed by garbage. I'm getting less and less impressed with American cinema these days. One good aspect of the film, is that the sound is amazing. When voices are calling from off screen, they truly sound like they are from off screen, the sound effects are also really good. Outside of this though, there is nothing really salvalgable from "The Hills Have Eyes".
