The Hills Have Eyes Reviews |
Chock full of gruesome jolts, wonderfully gooey mutants, shocking doses of intense violence, and an overall tone of dry, bleached-out, desperation, The Hills Have Eyes might not be any sort of improvement over Craven's original flick, but it does a fine job of delivering the goods ... and with just a little more beneath the surface than you might expect. [read review] 
--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
...gets points for gore and general creepiness, and for occasional periods of tension, but it's not scary enough to linger long in the subconscious. It's fair to say that this is one of the better horror films in recent months but that's more a comment on the weak field than it is a statement of unqualified praise. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
...will delight horror fans and terrify general audiences in all the ways a good horror film should. It's smart, stylish and inventive, capitalising on the strengths of the original and building on thirty years of cinematic evolution in all the ways a good remake should... [read review]
--Joe Utichi (FilmFocus.co.uk)
...can never achieve the taboo-shattering rebellion of its predecessor, no matter how much the commercials insist otherwise. It gains a great deal in technical flourish, artistry, and goose-your-date terror -- in many ways, it's the better film -- but noamount of spit or polish can entirely recapture the dark seeds it so earnestly wishes to plant. It needs to come from a different place for that: somewhere riskier, more unknown, a little crazier... [read review] B
--Rob Vaux (Flipsidemovies.com)
There is a little twist at the end that, if this proves as successful as I expect it to be for entertainment-starved filmgoers, may well spawn a sequel. In the meantime, if you are a horror movie fan, “The Hills Have Eyes” is quite satisfying. [read review] B
...If the horror genre is to move forward, guys like Jackson and Aja need to be mining and innovating new territory, not falling back on the familiar. With Hills Have Eyes, I didn't much care for the 1977 version, and now I like it even less. [read review] 
--Jeremiah Kipp (SlantMagazine.com)
...might not have the sneak attack appeal of Craven’s film, or the moral questioning, but it cooks in ways Craven has always missed in his own work. I’m positively itching to see what Aja has planned for his audience next. [read review] 
--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
...is a satisfying horror that fans of the genre should enjoy immensely. It is far from a flick that will hit classic status, but I can certainly see The Hills Have More Eyes down the pike... [read review] B
remake was for me quite the improvement on its stepfather. It was bigger, badder and better when it came to acting, plot, visual style and straight for the jugular thrills/chills/kills... [read review] 
--'The Arrow' (Arrow)
Enjoyable, gore-splattered horror flick – this is extremely nasty in places but it has some interesting points to make at the same time. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
What remakes should be like! Wes Craven is the master! A horror film that will really freak you out! [read review]
--Steven Chupnick (MovieWeb)
...gets under your skin on an almost primal level. [read review]
