Nothing but a gore fest!

Rating: 3/10 (3 November 2008)

Horror films seem to be taking a turn for the worst at the moment, there have been only a few films in the last decade worth noting and a whole stream of ones that are forgettable.
The Hills Have Eyes is definitely one you will remember, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons.
The acting is one of the best parts of the entire film, which really isn't saying much as the characters seem deeply uncomfortable playing their roles. More so than they should be.
Positive things stop there. It seems that many horror directors realise that their film simply isn't scary enough so they turn it into a sick gore fest. The Hills Have Eyes is an example of this. Scenes in this film are too brutal for even the hardest of stomachs.
The effects are decent, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Overall, brace your stomach and brace your patience, because The Hills Have Eyes is instantaneously dull.
