The Hills Have Eyes
Directed by Alexandre Aja
Based on Wes Craven's 1977 suspenseful cult classic, The Hills Have Eyes is the story of a family road trip that goes terrifyingly awry when the travelers become stranded in a government atomic zone. Miles from nowhere, the Carter family soon realizes the seemingly uninhabited wasteland is actually the breeding ground of a blood-thirsty mutant family...and they are the prey. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →That reminds me of the time I took a date to go see "The Hills Have Eyes". It was a dine-in theater, and I had gotten breadsticks and marinara. We just sat down and started to eat, and the date was going pretty good. If you've ever seen that movie, the opening scene is a jump scare right off the bat. I had a mouth full of breadstick and was actively holding the cup full of marinara that I launched directly into her chest because I jumped. Anyways, the date didn't work out and it was pretty…

Just me at a computer cleaning and repairing over 130,000 frames of film for 5 weeks. It was released by Arrow and their release was nominated for a Saturn Award. #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →The Hills Have Eyes (1977) holds undisputed masterwork status among horror historians and directors. It is a landmark of 70s grindhouse cinema and a politically charged commentary about the societal underbelly spawned with atomic testing and societal neglect. #splatterhorror #horror #horrormovies
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Serpent and the Rainbow on #MonsterVision. I know this is "herecy" among my fellow horror fans, but I am not a fan of Wes Craven (DON'T HIT!). I like this movie, plus The Hills Have Eyes, Elm Street, and Shocker...but I got really sick of him after Scream. #FrightClub #MutantFam

Similar to Dead Heat and the like.)

neutral · AI labelView post →So many horror movies centered on ppl traveling roads, but not sure they necessarily qualify as road movies or folk horror. Spielberg's Duel, The Hills Have Eyes, Wrong Turn, Joy Ride, Highwaymen, Death Proof. Psychomania's in All The Haunts Be Ours; undead bikers but is it a road movie? Not sure.

As an '80s Hong Kong film, a lot of the first half is comical, even if creepily awkward. It's a good survival horror movie.

In return, Craven’s A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) has a scene where a character watches The Evil Dead. 39/57

negative · AI labelView post →The Hills Have Eyes Part II, the 1985 sequel to Wes Craven’s original. When the financing fell through halfway through filming he was forced to finish it with footage from the first movie, as a result it’s about 50% flashbacks to things we’ve already seen.
