The Hills Have Eyes
Well ok, now everyone who has seen this can take a deep breath.
The simplist word to use to describe this movie is “intense” and thats almost and understatement.
Nuclear testing in the 50’s leaves a town of miners angry and mutated when they don’t leave the radiation infected areas and stay and continue to procreate and yeah, kill people to.
A nearby gas station owner will, for payment, occassionally send travellers down a wrong road only to be ambushed by these people and killed. And so begins this movie.
In the first encounter with the mutated people we leave with 2 murders, a rape, and a kidnapping. Be warned this movie is not for the faint of heart. I have heard it described as torture porn, and I find it hard to argue with that.
But for many people who go to horror movies, gore and torture is exactly what they are looking for and here that is exactly what you will get.
As scene after scene ended I could hear my movie companion sighing, trying to prepare for the next onslaught of violence wondering how much longer he would actually stay in the theater before he decided he’s had enough.
The plot is really no more complicated then to just get out alive with as many survivors as possible.
If you go to horror movies hoping for violence and gore, you will enjoy this movie. If you want more thought put into a story or if you are uneasy about graphic images don’t even think about it.
