Posted March 12, 200619 yr Anyone planning on seeing this horror, a remake of the 1977 film? A family in a camper van miles from nowhere are terrorised by a family of inbred cannibals.Very gruesome the reviews say so it's an 18 certificate.I prefer a horror to be 18 though as it's bound to be gory!
March 12, 200619 yr Apparently it isnt scary at all, but I suppose that depends on what you find scary.
March 12, 200619 yr I saw it last night, and I LOVE horror films, I love gore I am really sick and morbid where horror films are concerned but I found this film FAR too much. There was women getting raped, dogs getting gutted, a father being set on fire with his children watching, 2 mothers being shot dead, corpses being dragged through the desert, it was all too much for me, I am a massive fan of horror films, but I was so close to walking out it was unreal, they pushed the barriers too far, I found it really really uncomfortable, so I guess they did their job well -_-

March 12, 200619 yr Exactly i felt physically sick after watching I know me and you were more concerned about smoking behind pizza hut :lol:
March 12, 200619 yr MySpace has put me off wanting to see that, they over-advertised it :mellow: . Some of my contacts started bulletins like, "I can't remember - What have the hills got?". Ahaha :heart:.
March 12, 200619 yr i really want to see this, i love gory films and i'm not put off them at all, This seems to be the film for me then! lol. unfortunately i'm only 16, oh well i'll just wait till it's out on DVD.
March 12, 200619 yr Exactly i felt physically sick after watching Well, jeeeeeez, isn't that kinda the whole fukkin idea of a horror film to be honest.....? I dunno, too many people too used to all this 'tongue-in-cheek', 'post-modern' "Scream", "Urban Legends" crap that they've forgotten that a good horror film is meant to be edgy, dark and, well, pretty damned uncomfortable viewing. It's a horror film, not a fukkin Feel-Good movie.... I really dug it, and being a huge fan of the original I was ready to totally slate it considering how piss-poor the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake was... But, this is one remake that really worked - a horror film for grown-ups and not 13 year-old Yank children..... But then, I suppose the fact director and screenwriter were French, as opposed to being Hollywood hacks certainly helped....and their previous film (Switchblade Romance) was pretty damn top. I loved the changes that were made, not merely content with making the 'monsters' some bunch of mountain, cannibalistic mad-folk like the original, they were also genetic freaks who were the product of Nuclear testing...Class.....
March 12, 200619 yr Louise and I went to see it together, and we don't mean it was horrible because of the goriness, which is never a problem for either of us, we love the Saw movies, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Ring, The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, all of the great horror films of the past year or so, but we both thought that this film pushed the barriers too far, some things in there were beyond sick, and we both found it quite disturbing to say the least, and we're massive horror fans. -_-
March 12, 200619 yr it's mutants in it! mutants that are cannibals!! that were mutated by nuclear testing!!! GREAT!
March 12, 200619 yr Been watching 24 on sky one and I must have seen like 3 trailers for it and it looks ok, apart from the fact it says "The Lucky Ones, Died First" which is a bit cheesy, but it seems really similar to Woof Creek(apart from the fact they ain't backpaggers) in that their in the mddle of nowhere and a physcopath wants to kill them.
March 12, 200619 yr Author Oh if it's gory and sickening then that's fine by me.Can't wait to see it this week then! It's only a film after all. Edited March 12, 200619 yr by coolchris
March 12, 200619 yr Oh if it's gory and sickening then that's fine by me.Can't wait to see it this week then! It's only a film after all. Yeah I hear what you're saying, but it was a little too graphic for my liking, but as I said earlier, if I couldn't bare to watch it then they have done their job right -_-

Horror aint meant to be cosy, it deals with taboos and pretty disturbing themes and thoughts; the best horrors work on an allegorical level, which is exactly what both versions of Hills Have Eyes does and what the original versions of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead and more recent films such as Wolf Creek, Devil's Rejects and Land of the Dead do as well. The Saw films have both been really good, but there's too much trash like House of Wax and those awful remakes of Japanese 'Ring' films being made....
March 13, 200619 yr I went to see 'The Hills Have Eyes' Today, Have not seen the original. It wasn't too bad considering. :)

And whaddya mean "It wasn't too bad considering...... :unsure:
