November 23, 2003 Brian Slevin 11 out of 13 found this review helpful Michael Berryman takes horror to a new level with his oscar worthy portrayal of a deranged cannibal punk. Laugh as Berryman spots the rabbbit, cry when big Bob Carter gets nailed up. A rollercoaster of a horror flick. Great extras on the dvd set too! SCARY, EDGE OF THE SEAT October 9, 2003 R. G. Williams (Cheshire, England , UK) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful Scared the life out of me in 1980 when i saw this. fantastic horror film. Great story, nerve tingling tension. Bit dated no specila effects, but don't need them. seventies flared trousers classic hooror March 29, 2004 2 out of 14 found this review helpful the first of a two part film in which a family living in the desert with an underground cavern in which they hack up innocent teenagers usually on scramblers(motorbikes) and their girlfriends. the star of the show looks like a well known brizilian football referee. All the usual blood and guts makes this film one of the classics to go down in history with the likes of The evil dead. (Brilliant) Superior horror movie July 25, 2005 Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) 15 out of 16 found this review helpful A derelict dump in a dismal, dusty desert. An old timer is planning to leave, hurriedly harbouring a feral girl who also seeks escape. A family of tourists - big car, bigger caravan - arrive in search of fuel and directions to a old silver mine. Despite the old timer's protestations that they go back to civilisation and stick to the main road, you know there's something out there and it might be crazed and demonic, but it's got more sense than they have. They're doomed, all doomed. This is a nuclear testing site and Air Force bombing range, and nobody is going to come looking for them. Did I say nobody?pWhat follows is a siege of the broken down car and caravan, the tourists slowly being picked off by a family of feral cannibals who watch from the hills then come looking for excitement and food.pAlthough marred by the cliché of the women doing a lot of emotional screaming while the men try to remain taciturn and phlegmatic, this is a superior horror movie. It's reminiscent of the Sawney Bean tradition famous in my part of Scotland. The horror gets a touch sentimental in places, and the bad guys are really just ugly nasties - there's little attempt to explain or elaborate their characters. The good guys, meanwhile, are probably just a touch too clean cut and stereotypical - and, I repeat, the women scream a lot.p"The Hills Have Eyes" builds on the tensions created by isolation and environment. This is civilised man confronted with the gradual stripping away of the trappings of civilisation - loss of wheels and mobility, loss of contact with the outside world, loss of food, loss of firepower, loss of life, loss of innocence. Surely anyone in this environment would return to the wild, become red in tooth and claw. It's the old Hobbesian paradigm of the veneer of civilisation being paper thin and fragile.pThis is, nevertheless, an exciting, entertaining horror film which is well worth watching and which does create moments of real tension. I'd advocate buying it as part of "The Wes Craven Collection", where it is packaged with three other films and a number of extras. You get a real sense of how much Craven had developed comparing this to his first film, "Last House on the Left". The comparison emphasises the sophistication of this film and will enhance your enjoyment of it. Good as the remake March 16, 2006 Ali (DA Film GENIOUS) (UK LONDON) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful I saw this film just 1 day before i went to see the new version in cinema. This version is pretty good for a low budget 70s horror. If you liked the new version i recommend you watch the old version. Showing reviews 1-5 of 11 1 2 3 Next »
