Reviews for The Hills Have Eyes
As a mirror to the low-fi, sci-fi hero journey of Star Wars, however, The Hills Have Eyes is the far less damaging to its respective genre.

There's a difference between reiterating a theme and repeating what worked before, and you feel the line drawn here.
01/01/00
Craven’s latent sick streak gets a major workout here, and the rudest shocks seem to center around the “good” family’s parental figures.

...a sporadically effective Texas Chain Saw Massacre rip-off.
08/01/03
It has become a cult-status film...

As disgusting as the movie is, the ride is never dull, but there's no need to take on the film to begin with unless there's something a little off inside your head.
