The Hills Have Eyes

The Hills Have Eyes

This is a great date movie. J Boy took me out for some horrific fare the other night.

I expected all the loud noisey scenes where a person quickly runs through the camera and a quick sound of music occurs. But what I did not expect was the suspense and tension this film created. I felt played into the movie's hands, especially with a baby, a couple of pets named Beauty and Beast.

Strange but I must say this was a "feel good" horror flick...the dramatic hero scenes, the nerd who comes through, the dogs going after the bad guys, the cheesy and comedic music that strung along the movie, the good guys winning...really liked that.... I even had a favorite mutant, Ruby.

I loved the characters. They are just so likable even the grouchy dad (who unfortunately gets popped first).. The mom was too nice to die..to see her go really got me, even as she was dying. Her dialogue and acting skills were spot on. The ACTING was good in this film, I was shocked, honestly... and THATS how you make a horror film.

The Hills seemed to have no limits. And the rape scene is the big talk on the review boards. That scene is the platform which a lot of horror unfolds.. To make a successful horror film, this movie crossed the line and for that, this movie ruled. People are talking about it. What can I say?

That's hardcore rough diva material. Perfect prelude to the hot cocoa talk after getting home after the movie and through a rain storm.
