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.

It's just nasty.

What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying.

If these hills only had eyes, it would be one thing but parents should know that they also have mutants wielding pickaxes which results in a disturbingly graphic movie not suitable for sensitive audiences of any age or species.

... Aja and his gorehound ilk are making movies that simply wallow in state-of-the-art displays of torture, sadism and sexual humiliation.

Aug 09, 2016Just shows how much farther horror films have come recently. This film was considered decent at the time of its release, and though it has an interesting setup, it's badly flawed.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Dec 04, 2015It started off like it was going to surprise us but a few poor jumps later it turns into a gory action film that was just weird and never offers anything new or memorable.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Apr 03, 2015One of the best horror remakes to come out in this most recent trend. Rather than ignoring its source material, or taking the other extreme of drearily rehashing it scene for scene, Aja and Levasseur's The Hills Have Eyes simply expands and improves upon the original.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Apr 09, 2013Ugly, brutal, unforgiving and unpredictable, this remake doesn't offer much novelty to Craven's subversive 70's horror flick, other than some fantastic effects, brutal violence and incredible desperate setting. It carries a very grindhouse feel through and through that is lacking on some recent horror movies, not afraid to take things to the next level and torture the audience while at it. It's a shame that the mutant clan doesn't have much exposition. Some of the dynamics presented are well-realised but they're never explored in depth. If they would, the final showdown between the two families would have a whole different impact.Francisco G Super Reviewer
