Hills Have Eyes, The
USA 2005, 103 minutes
Dir. Alexandre Aja
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Horror / Psycho
Aroview: Abject and rather kitschy remake of Wes Craven's 1977 B-grade classic which pumps buckets of blood and gore onto the tale of an all-American family on vacation in New Mexico who fall into the clutches of a family of mutants, the deformed product of the nuclear tests of the 1950s.
Dir. Aja (HIGH TENSION) displays a fair command of horror stylistics, delivering his suspense with technical aplomb and cruel plot twists. But while the setting of the 'A-bomb test site town' (complete with burnt mannequins) has its own original and eerie atmosphere, this mostly takes the expected route into cannibalism, baby killing and torture, never really reinventing Craven's original vision.
