The Hills Have Eyes | Year: 1977 Classification: Horror Directed: - Wes Craven Actors/Actresses: - Susan Lanier - Robert Houston They should have hit that rabbit. If you are between 25-35 years old you were a young child when this movie came out. I am 28 now, when I first saw "The Hills have Eyes" I was at an age where it was extremely scary. As I watch it today it still has a chill factor and remains disturbing. The location is a big part of things and adds a feeling of the characters being trapped or stranded. The desert location is amazingly creepy and atmosheric. Wes Craven's idea was good and I believe he brought it vividly to life in this classic horror film made in the late 70's. This 2 disc DVD is in DTS ES 6.1 (soundtrack), which makes for much better sound. The second disc has two featurettes: Looking back on The Hills have Eyes (&) The films of Wes Craven. Both of the featurettes are nearly one hour long each. There is also an alternate ending, which was quite interesting. I won't tell you about it, you should just take a look. Actor James Whitworth's unique look and creepy expressions allow him to easily steal the show. One of the most underrated and frightening films ever After scoring a surprise hit with his shocking debut Last House on the Left, Wes Craven wrote and directed this primitive little shocker that just like Last House on the Left managed to be shocking and truly scary. When a suburban family becomes stranded in the desert, they fall prey to a family of cannibals, and as they're numbers quickly dwindle, fight back with equally savage means. The Hills Have Eyes was also another social commentary by Craven as we see the typical human family revert to they're feral instincts in doing anything to survive. A lesser known sequel would be released a few years later which Craven directed, but that film isn't worth tracking down one bit. Anchor Bay has yet again done another fine job on restoring a horror classic to DVD; just like they did with Near Dark and Day of the Dead, The Hills Have Eyes DVD is handsomely packaged and includes two discs worth of features including a commentary by Craven and producer Peter Locke, two hour long featurettes, and a plethora of trailers and TV spots. Highly recommended for horror buffs. Boring I watched this movie for 20 minutes until I turned it off. It was boring and going nowhere. The characters were uninteresting and the movie took too long to set up. I'm glad I didn't waste money to rent this.
