Blogspot Reviews: The Hills Have Eyes

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2006)

The Hills Have Eyes, 2006 Horay! My first movie of 2006! And guess what? It's actually very good. Always nice to start a year of on a good note. This movie has a very good plot, a creepy setting, and a lot of good ideas for a horror movie. The villains are actually very scary, which you can't say of most horror movies any more. You end up feeling horrible for their victims, even though you don't particularly like most of those victims. It also contained what is likely one of my top 20 one on one fights from any movie ever. It may even be able to sneak in to the top 10, I'd have to make the list to be sure. That being said, the acting wasn't great, and it was a little slow at the beginning. However, I really did like this movie quite a bit, and it managed to do something that a scary movie hasn't done in quite a while... it scared me.
