The Hills have Noses

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2009)

The hills Have Eyes. Have you seen this? It is horrendously garbled tat. The version I saw was the re-make and it made me start to wonder why it was ever made in the first place. A weak and flimsy plot scattered with Hollywood style philosophical lines that are guaranteed to have you squirming with hatred for everything that is American. lines such as; The lucky ones die first. My immediate thought was that the lucky ones never get to watch this trite pap. I did actually consider myself to be lucky. right up until the point when I had sat through this unholy epic, now I think I am probably more unlucky than the people who actually survived this ordeal. The premise is weak; A suburban American family is being stalked by a group of psychotic people who live in the desert, far away from civilisation, and that's it. Each member of the family is killed off one by one in hideous and unimaginative ways by these psychotic hill-billies. I think it is fair to say that there are a couple of humorous parts in the film, but I really don't think that Alexandre Aja, the director of this modern masterpiece actually intended them to be funny. The film is supposed to be hard hitting and scary. I found it puerile and boring.
