    An impressive remake that I preferred to the original!
    The Hills Have Eyes (2006) is a remake of the 1977 original and follows a family who get stranded on a government atomic wasteland, which they find is home to a murderous mutant family. I definitely prefer this to the original. It was a really good and terrifying film! I loved it!

    Firstly, The characters were very likable and the acting was great too, the performances got gradually better as the film progressed. I specifically liked Doug, he was an absolute sweetheart. My main criticism for the original is that I didn't care for the characters, but I was really rooting for them in this one.

    This movie had good visual effects and was very brutal, it was a hell of a lot more disturbing than the original! The gore was very impressive and looked very realistic, which made it hard to watch at some points.

    The film included a classic 2000s horror score which added to the experience of watching. Also the sound design was effective and really stood out in certain scenes.

    The cinematography was great; the film was full of bleak colour palettes and very well it scenes. Alongside this, there were also some cool editing techniques and good cuts between shots.

    The film started with a gripping intro, and some super creepy opening credits. It immediately had an ominous and eerie atmosphere, and throughout the film the tension just gets higher. I was hooked almost straight away! It really was a sad tale that made me deeply upset for the characters. The ending was great, and although the final shot was cheesy, I still liked it.
