Reviews for The Hills Have Eyes
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.
Even a dog has his day, and among the few tolerable features helmed by Craven is this early cult item.
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.
Craven’s latent sick streak gets a major workout here, and the rudest shocks seem to center around the “good” family’s parental figures.
