Description of Hills Have Eyes: The average American family on their way to California by chance passing through the area over which militaries conducted test flights of their new aircraft models; and now it is closed for civilians. There they suffer an accident and find themselves as prisoners of the desert that stretches for miles in every direction.
If that was all… But no. Ahead of them awaits a nightmarish encounter with a group of fanatics who are completely unfamiliar with modern civilization, and eager to kill the intruders. ..
Review: “The Hills Have Eyes,” I fell in love after the first viewing. The plot is simple – the typical American family travels the world on a car and a house on wheels, rolled into the desert, where the testing of nuclear weapons (or fighters, I do not remember) and get into an accident. After a few minutes of stay in the vast wilderness someone kills one of the dogs unlucky family, and at night they are attacked by fellow fanatics that kill half of the family, and then hiding in the hills with a small child.
First I looked remake, and only then learned of the existence of the original, shot by Wes Craven (Shocker and Fireworks Woman) back in 1977. Watch the trailer, I decided to watch a movie, and I liked it, and liked a lot more than a remake of the Alexander Aji.
The acting is far from ideal. One of the sisters constantly whines, about whether or not, and her brother, removing the burnt corpse of his father, with a stony expression goes nowhere, wanting to kill all the assassins. The only ones who please the soul, so is a family of mutants, especially Lance Gordon, who plays the role of one of the mutants. Game Michael Berryman also fascinated.
In short – the film Hills Have Eyes is perfect, the film is worth seeing, the film is much better his remake. See all lovers of horror and all fans of the movie Aji.
Review #2: We can say that this is the second film by Wes Craven. Porn “Angela – woman fireworks” I do not believe as a movie. “Hills” is very reminiscent of “The Last House on the Left” At this time, Wes worked more on the script and carefully recording with the installation. The story is simple, and those who watched the remake, know it. See “Hills” remake before the original, of course, is dangerous: do not like it, that a low-budget, and will not be interesting.
What’s not to like after Agi: silly story of the emergence of maniacs in the desert, very short scenes and no ending. The protagonist dolboshit maniac raises his head and looks at the camera and titles … On the plus side: there is an atmosphere, there is the old style slasher, the actors in the film are playing very well.
Most memorable of all, of course, Michael Berryman – besyachy bad actor. Remember the actress playing the girl from a family of savages and even a dog. Other actors have played well, but not memorable. I also liked that the old man with the original filling said, “will not displace”, and in a remake of the same old man says the opposite: “displace”. Still would like to note the scene of the accident in the desert – at Aji savages specially rigged car accident, the film Craven accident clumsy and unconvincing. However, at the end of a spectacular explosion in both films.
Wes Craven really began to take more professional after the “House,” but his “Hills” are suffering because of the logic in many scenes there. In the last scene Wes showed how an ordinary man becomes a savage and barbarian (man) becomes a man. Perhaps this is the main idea of the film.
