The Original
"The Hills Have Eyes"


1977 version
(Inspired lyrics for The Misfits Earth A.D)

The 1977 Wes Craven movie "The Hills Have Eyes" is now almost thirty years old, but still great(much better than the weak re-make).

The plot......
A family on vacation ventures from the main road and crash in the middle of desert(yes this basic plot has been used many times before and since...) and ends up stranded, and then fall prey to strange clan of inbred cannibals.

Though the story idea may not be very original - it has bucket loads of atmosphere and style. The acting that is of a good standard and in parts great, the characters Pluto and mars are in a class of there own. "The Hills Have Eyes" is only 89 minutes long so gets on with the slaughter and fear right away and dosent stop till the movie does.

What Do I Think Of it.....
"The Hills Have Eyes" is Twisted, violent, and even a touch symbolic. A classic piece of 70's exploitation horror.Yes "The Last House On the Left" by Wes Craven is better and the similarities to "The Texas Chainsaw masacre" are obvious but....it's still a great movie.

"The Hills Have Eyes" has inbred physco killers with no respect for the life or the family they hunt. It's a must.
