The Hills Have Eyes #841
[DVD] [2006 - Alexandre Aja]
If you like your horror films then this is your cup of tea, if you don't then stay away. It follows the standard Horror genre trademarks- a family go on a journey, meet an odd petrol station attendant and are lured through a dirt road in the middle of nowhere to ultimate death. Because of these trademarks, there isn't much originality in the script or performances, although (spoiler alert), Kathleen Quinlan's performance in her death scene is quite moving. Because of the lack of originality, only the scary soundtrack and violent scenes are any reason to see this film. 1.5 /5

Film fact: The film set in New Mexico was actually filmed in Morocoo (with thanks to Horror and Sci Fan fan Jim P.)

Film Title: A metaphor on the fact that the hills where the family end up spending the night is inhabited by mutated humans watching them.
