⌐■_■ Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 A friend of mine saw it. Said it pretty much sucked because of the high level of absurdity it contains. I love absurdity though Quote
RD Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 The Hills Have Eyes, although a remake of the original, was everything a horror movie should be. Typically, I'm not a fan of slasher flicks, but this movie had elements I like to see in a movie. I don't like to see the protagonists making stupid mistakes (the old "curiosity killed the cat" syndrome), I don't like being able to guess the villain 20 minutes into the movie (although this wasn't the scenario in this particular movie). I don't enjoy picking out who's going to do die first, and being correct. I don't think sex scenes have any place in horror movies. I like things to be important and advance the plot. Although the movie had some "MTV" elements to it, it still adhered to the classic horror movie thrills. The thing I liked about this movie was the fact that they repeatedly "crossed the line", doing things that you wouldn't expect modern movies to do, nothing is off limits in this movie. Horrifying elements that made you, well, terrified. Lots of "boo" surprises, but also more complex and twisted than modern movies have allowed. I spent most of the movie with my mouth agape... It's not just the gore, although there is a lot of that. They didn't leave anything to the imagination, did not imply anything...they showed you everything. It was admittedly a little slow at first, but then all of the sudden things began to take a turn for the wicked. One thing this movie did that most horror movies don't bother to do is go into character development. Not a lot, but more so than a typical thriller will bother to do. This movie was so disturbing, I'm not sure I'd want to see it again. That "Deliverance" mentality...you see it once, you're glad you saw it, but so disgusting you're pretty sure you don't want to experience that again. Any horror aficionado should see this movie.

skdr Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 It's a generic "splatter" horror movie. Saw it while ago. Quote
Dennispls Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Seen it too its a harsh mindless hack n slash movie nothing special Quote
Mojo Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 In terms of horror remakes, its up there with Dawn of the Dead, maybe even past it. Its mindless, but its not bad (like many an other horror movie). Well done and enjoyable. Quote
D3ads Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 I loved it, nothing new perhaps but it does well for what it is... Quote
Nysuatro Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 It was not bad, but ot some moment i think they went to far Quote
Grinwhrl Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Shity story, Awesome Violent, Insane Movie. The unrated Version rocks compared to the shitty theater version. I hate how they do this now a days. Quote
ginsengavenger Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Doesn't sound like i'd bother seeing it. That chick is so hot in Lost. Quote
