The Hills are alive!!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2006)

I would like to start to say that Alexandre Aja is in my mind one of the new promising directors in the horror genre. I saw the movie last night and it was great!! I've read a lot of bad reviews of this film, and i don't understand it. Who are these people writing crap about this movie??? This is a horror movie! Not the bridges of Madison county. If you are negative to remakes or horror in general don't go and see it!!! I think "Haute Tension" was a good contribution to the genre and Mr. Craven made the right choice in picking Alexandre to make the remake of his classic. If your a true horror fan this movie will blow you away, and i think that this is one of the best remakes up till this point. Alongside "Dawn of the dead". When i saw "HOSTEL" i was surprised of the gore. Although it took some time for things to happen. I saw the same in "THE HILLS" And that is the reason i haven't given this movie ten stars. But on the other-hand it has great character buildup. I've read somewhere that some people don't care about the characters in this film and what happens to them. This is because they don't seem too like each other in the film. WHAT IS THIS CRAP!!!? If you don't care about what happens to these people go have a cat-scan. Or commit yourself! These are realistic and believable characters. If you had to drive through the desert in a crowded airstream(RV) you wouldn't be smiling or having fun either.
The movie has great scares and the gore is even better. (Thank you KNB for everything you touch:)
But be warned. This is not for the faint of heart. If you don't like movies that has serious themes which escalates to pure and heavy terror, stay away!!! Far far away!!!
Thank you Alexandre and Wes for making two great movies for us:)
