Review of The Hills Have Eyes (1977) by Aaron N — 29 Jan 2009
Brenda Carter: We're gonna be french fries! Human french fries!
A family attempts to make a drive through the desert, only to have their car break down and then be attacked by violent, cannibalistic savages.
Another early Wes Craven horror flick, not as good or as disturbing as Last House on the Left, but it gets its points for being dirty and gritty. Despite its content, it also works with its premise without being mean spirited like the 2005 remake.
Problems involve how slow it is to get to being interesting. The characters actually do work fine, but the movie takes its time to get to where its going.
Good ending though.
Big Bob Carter: Do you always try to stop trespassers by hanging yourself?
