Title: The Hills Have Eyes
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away: Alexandre Aja was asked to make this movie by Wes Craven after Craven saw High Tension. No joke. I’m on an Aja kick now, if you couldn’t tell.
Introduction: I’m pretty sure that I got this from Games Plus, but I might be wrong.
Location: In the hills, duh (and not Beverly)
Plot: Some family going on vacation for some dumb reason decide to stop at a gas station and give the guy there some trouble. Seriously, I don’t care if you’re a retired cop. If you tell a guy it’s illegal to smoke near gas pumps, whether you seem to upset him or not, do not- I repeat DO NOT- take his directions for a road off of the beaten path. It will only lead to your doom.
Acting: The little girl mutant, in the red sweater, reminds me of a cross between Gollum and ET.
Production: It looks good and there is obviously lots of blood.
Sex/Nudity: Not so much, no.
Special Effects: The dad (who is from Monk) gets burned alive. It’s kind of neat.
Overall Verdict: I like this movie. I like almost any horror movie, but I really like this movie. If that girl from Lost hadn’t gone and done Lost, we might have had a completely different sequel as well.
