The Hills Have Eyes (2006) | Movie Reaction | First Time Watching | More Brutal Than The Original

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I remember seeing The Hills have eyes remake as a child, then you must imagine how disturbing this movie was for a 11-years-old kid. In fact, I saw it with my entire family at launch time. On the other hand, I was waiting for this movie reaction, so you two did it a good job guys.

An absolute brutal horror movie, and an example of why remakes exists and aren't usually terrible some people believe. It does almost everything better than the original. The brutally, the tension, the hopeless atmosphere, the eerie isolation, the unsettling soundtrack... just a masterclass in horror.

Doug is such a sick character arc, he feels like an annoying toss away character that just suddenly goes on an heroic revenge spree, when he picks up his glasses and that music kicks in its genuinely fantastic.

I liked the part where the family got stuck, looked around and collectively said, "It looks like, THE HILLS HAVE EYES." And then the hills winked a couple of times.

The effects were made by Greg Nicotero and his amazing team. Same guys who do the effects for The walking dead. Greg also plays the hill person with the headgear named Cyst.

House of Wax from 2005 is a solid, underrated remake that’s worth a watch!

[@nsasupporter7557]

Since “underrated” is everybody’s favorite word and you people love calling everything “underrated” even if it’s inaccurate, you all should start a cult where you can worship that word. Every 2 seconds there is somebody saying that someone or something is “underrated” it’s annoying as hell

[@georgejrivera3388]

​@@nsasupporter7557your annoying as hell. 😊

[@oscartheamericanoutlaw4572]

Soundtrack was phenomenal.

[@jarodM6]

You know the director of that remake didn't even want to remake house of wax. He wanted to remake a movie I Believe from the 80s called tourist trap. I don't know about anyone else, I actually prefer the original house of wax. I'm not saying the remake is bad I just love the original more.

[@PyramidHead316]

There is actually a comic book prequel to this film called "The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning", which I highly recommend. It's definitely worth your time. So, the guy at the beginning in the gas station was actually an old ally of the community, before the government screwed them out of their land and turned them into mutants. If I remember right, he had a relationship with the matriarch who would give birth to the mutant leader. He tried his best to help them out, but after things went to shit, I think he felt he had to keep giving them people as payment. That's why he's apologizing just before he commits suicide - he felt he failed all of them, and knows what a monster he's become. As to what happens to Doug and the kids, you find that out in the comic book - I will say it's not a completely unhappy ending, despite that stinger in the film. The comic book is actually a pretty in-depth tragedy; it's not just blood and gore. Although there is one hell of a battle between the government troops and the mutants. It's available for free online. Fun fact: the images shown in the intro are actual mutations of children in real life from Agent Orange, which the government used in Vietnam. That's what chemical warfare does, folks. I like this movie, but it's not an easy watch, and I don't watch it often. It's greatly disturbing, which is what I feel a horror movie is supposed to be, and I think it feels more like Wes' complete vision of what he originally wanted to do, just enhanced with Alexandre Aja's input. One thing I think was sacrificed was the family dynamic between the mutants. With them being an actual community here and not just one single family, you'd think the ties would run deeper, but the film doesn't dwell on it. Jupiter is a shell of himself, and I prefer the version in the original. Hades, who is the actual patriarch of the mutant community, gets even worse treatment in the sequel. Other than that, I think it's a perfect example of how to do a remake of a classic movie while honoring the original, and not stomping all over its memory. You guys should check out "The Blob" (1988) one time, if you want to see another example of how to vastly improve on the source material, when doing a remake. As for the sequels...the original sequel is considered one of the worst horror movies ever made. But it has a dog flashback from Beast! 😂 The remake sequel is worth watching only if you want to see the gore and the brutal kills. If you thought Jupiter got no characterization here, or Mars or Pluto, Hades is even worse - he's a pure paper thin one-dimensional villain. Like I said, you have to read the comic book if you want any info on his backstory and the community of mutants. Ironic, since in the comic he gets a full character arc that is excellently realized and paints him as very sympathetic. Honestly, they would have been better off just waiting a bit and filming the comic book as is - it would have made a much better sequel/prequel.

[@АлександрАдмаев-ю1л]

And what happened to the family from part 1. Doug and others

[@oscartheamericanoutlaw4572]

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

I have that comic book somewhere in my house. Really glad they came out with that! Definitely an entertaining read. Would be absolutely awesome if they did a movie based on it 😵 I just don’t think enough people are interested in the story as some of us are. It’s nowhere near as popular as Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, or SAW. So I doubt we’ll ever get to see this 😢

[@grunions9648]

I remember the first movie being quite shocking at the time, and I think this remake does an amazing job of still being quite shocking in 2006. It sort of looks like an early-2000s generic US horror movie but ramps up to something more like a french new extremity film really quickly. It got a little bit drowned in the deluge of similar stuff like Wrong Turn at the time, but I think this really stands out as a great horror movie, and a brilliant remake.

[@cassandramcbride7007]

Its a good remake, with things i like more, others i like less, comparing with the original. Normally im not a gorish person, but here, the gore wasnt the star, instead had enough to add something to the story. The gore give a more brutal asthetic, considering the movie is just brutal. I like the fact, the remake gives this tension that anyone could die. No one is safe. Despite following the original plot very close, yet it have its own identity that anything can happen! I just wished, the mutant family wasnt show too much... specially because around this time, mutant cannibals were a thing in horror movies. Since we saw so many elements about the mutant family, that was in the genre mutant cannibal horror movies, that become just common. Anyway, this is just another example, that a remake can be well done!

[@PyramidHead316]

I think for me, it's almost the reverse: they didn't show enough of the mutant family. In the original, they were a close family, with Ruby being the outcast. In the prequel comic, you find out this is an entire community, and they were pretty close knit. So you'd think they'd have a lot more characterization for the mutants here. But no; Papa Jupiter barely speaks, and isn't really a factor outside of one or two scenes, and you don't really get a sense of the other mutants watching each other's backs, like in the original. I think it's one of the very few instances of them sacrificing something good about the original for the gore. They feel more like the last remaining shreds of the town, rather than an actual functioning family. If it weren't for that, it would be a perfect example of how to remake a horror movie, for me. It's still pretty good, though. 🙂
