Movies - The Hills Have Eyes

[Scrivener]

Don't have to go into much of a decronstruction here as it's fairly straightforward. I quite enjoyed The Hills Have Eyes... more than the original, I think. It was gruesome and bloody but not too serious. For the most part, the filmakers do an excellent job of shifting the tone of the movie along with the emotions of one particular character. In this way, it goes from being a jump scare movie, to a squeamish horror movie, to a revenge flick hauntingly similar (but certainly not unwelcome) to the original Evil Dead.

Much better than Hostel, and more over-the-top than The Devils Rejects - I can heartily recommend The Hills Have Eyes to anyone with a stomach for hardcore, old school horror that dosn't take itself too seriously (but just seriously enough).

9/10

I can't stomach gore movies myself, but I'm sure its a very good one for it's genre from what I've heard of it.
