Raw and vicious done well.

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2006)

I like to think of myself as fan of all genres of movies. I also like to think that I know what the difference is between good and bad movies. This movie,"The Hills Have Eyes",is a good film. I would like to iterate the fact that if your not a fan of this genre then your not going to enjoy it. this movie does horror well. It's really violent and gruesome with very tense moments. The movie plays close attention to detail especially in the gore and makeup effects and the setting and atmosphere also plays a large role. Unlike many movies in the same genre this movie is not cheesy and the acting is believable. with that said there are weak spots in the plot and some parts which are very predictable. But what Horror movie isn't like that? personally I believe thats what makes a horror movie. I think this movie is definitely at the pinnacle of the gore genre and people who want to see a brutal, vicious and raw horror movie will see it in "The Hills Have Eyes."
