Overall I liked The Hills Have Eyes. It was very atmospheric and very cool. The protagonist was someone that I could identify with right away. A laid back, easy going, Democrat, with a little bit of a smug edge, nice. The boy was somewhat the same. He says something that I thought was a very insightful little quip, about his mother's fear of rattle snakes. See good movies have the little things. This movie has a bunch of set up of the scene when the group gets stranded in the desert, and in the first thirty minutes you become associated with the characters. Low and behold, they are not your typical hey-we're-hip-hot-twenty-somethings waiting to get offed in appropriate order. These characters have depth. In fact everybody was a bit French trendy in this movie including the freaks. I love that the instant the group gets stuck every one is whipping out guns to do some desert target practice and the girl is doing a "Swimming Pool" and sunbathing in all her hot glory. No one is really concerned with the fact that, they are stuck in the desert. All of the mutants have defined characters too which is pretty much unheard of in a horror movie. Unlike most horror movies, the characters who you want to be alive at the end, live, and what starts off to be a slow movie really picks up the pace after the first 45 minutes. The music is awesome, with this crunching rhythm playing at the appropriate scary moments, though I wouldn't say the movie is necessarily scary, just cool, and the gore gets pretty gory in parts. It even gets a bit twisted here and there, and there are plenty of little twists and even a tenderhearted subplot. Add some good action, neato lighting, good cinematography, and you get a FLESHED out horror movie for all the family to enjoy. That is if you come from a dysfunctional one like me.
P.S. After I got home I watched High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes director's previous effort. Not as good as The Hills Have Eyes, but way scarier, and the first hour is definitely movie magic all around. I'm gushing too much. Boyakashsa, I'm out.
