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

The Hills Have Eyes | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brian Tallerico UGO 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. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper It's just nasty. Mar 20, 2006 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying. Rated: C+ Mar 20, 2006 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Alberto Abuín Espinof A good movie that never aims to achieve perfection. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 12, 2020 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) For such a dark, gritty, ferocious film, the big, melodramatic finish betrays its creepy, low-budget aesthetic. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review The Hills Have Eyes | Rotten Tomatoes (6) C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Aja's film is partly a critique of nuclear war, partly a horror fable about the divide between Americans and the violence it inevitably causes. Rated: 4.5/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Fun horror with all the classic sterotypes. Some good moments, found the ending a bit lacking. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Brad M Not a bad horror movie. The inbreeds were pretty gross looking. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review jason f Perfection in my opinion..this movie is what a horror movie should be..scary,gory,and it will even offend you..it’s horrifying Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Erica H I watched this movie with a couple of friends, and I gotta say, very in enjoyable. I personally I’m not a huge fan of the original. But this one added so much more that I really don’t think was needed and the R4PE scene was extremely uncomfortable even more the original and then some it continued for too long and added more uncomfortable scenes. Then ending sucks and the guy should’ve have died a long time ago no way he would have been walking out of it as if he isn’t super wounded Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Ethan G For a film that has no real reason to exist, Alexander Aja's 2006 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" is a modestly entertaining horror flick that serves up gruesome, fast-paced fun for gore aficionados. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Diana L E legal nunca vai ser bom assim mesmo assim é legal o roteiro é personagens bom a ter Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
