Critics Consensus

Faster paced for today's audiences, this Hills remake ratchets up the gore for the hardcore horror fans, but will turn away casual audiences.

Like Craven's original, Aja's version gets the job done - it makes your stomach turn, puts you on edge, and gives you a horror-movie ride. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper Mar 20, 2006
It's just nasty. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Mar 20, 2006

What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying. Go to Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times Oct 2, 2025
4/5
Yet while the killers' casualness is deeply disturbing, it's the ordinary family's shocking survival tactics that give the movie its lingering impact. Go to Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof Feb 12, 2020
A good movie that never aims to achieve perfection. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ellie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) Jun 5, 2019
2.5/4
For such a dark, gritty, ferocious film, the big, melodramatic finish betrays its creepy, low-budget aesthetic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ed B @EdLee 2 days ago The Hills Have Eyes , A family vacation turns horrific when broken down in desert inhabited by degranged, violent family disfigured by radiation. Beware. Very disturbing and gory. Still intriguing to view. See more Jacob W @SteelioTontos Oct 21, 2026 The twist/reveal was pretty dumb and the Grape scene was definitely not needed and with the mutated freaks involved made it worse for me then any from the I Spit on your Grave Franchise See more Jayn S @RT96669281 Oct 19, 2026 One of my favorites See more Robert P @Superbad Oct 12, 2026 The Hills Have Eyes is a *3* star Movie! See more Ryan T @RT91888008 Oct 8, 2026 Complete gore fest, and if you love that you will love this! See more Antonio U @Akhen Oct 6, 2026 This movie is creepy, and crazy. Cannibals hunting people and doing who knows what. This is a classic, even though it's a remake. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's still a wild ride. Maybe watch it with people with a beverage or two and have fun. See more Read all reviews
