Gruesome Horror

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2007)

A cross country road trip turns bad when the family is left stranded in New Mexico, miles from civilisation. A clan of genetic mutants, with a thirst for blood are watching them, planning their attack on the unsuspecting family.
The Hills have Eyes is a very gruesome and spine chilling horror flick that surpasses the original made by Wes Craven. The characters are very well fleshed out before the carnage begins, and it really helps to bring a real sense of compassion for the impending victims.
The cast all portray the terror of the situation very convincingly, and the character evolution runs nicely along side the story and the events within it. The Direction captures the tension and the sheer brutality of the plot effortlessly and this, coupled with the realistic and stomach churning visuals, heightens the impact of movie very effectively.
7/10 Not a film for the feint of heart
