A good movie that never aims to achieve perfection. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Feb 12, 2020

For such a dark, gritty, ferocious film, the big, melodramatic finish betrays its creepy, low-budget aesthetic.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 5, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 1, 2019

Craven was looking to simply scare some folks with blunt violence and a lecture on the primal nature of man. Aja's effort is an absolute declaration of war.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 12, 2017

Falls into the trap of delivering its relentless arsenal of painful images with almost sedated enthusiasm. The movie has no venom.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 6, 2014

On the strength of their 2003 slasher flick, High Tension, Craven hired director-writer Alexandre Aja and writer Grégory Levasseur, and the result is one of the most exhilarating, intense, and engrossing Hollywood shockers ever made.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 16, 2013

Still not a perfect film, but it's still superior to the original.

| May 26, 2012

Of considerably richer interest than the revampings of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Fog, not the least for having American-heartland horrors viewed through foreign glasses

| Aug 30, 2009

It is an artfully crafted exercise in high-octane style, bolstered by a stronger cast than most horror films could ever hope to assemble, but it's a bitter, sleazy little pill that leaves an ugly aftertaste.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 15, 2008

Some say this remake is better than the original, but it ain't so.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 3, 2008

It's self-conscious nastiness, once removed from its motivating source.

| Original Score: D | Mar 11, 2008

... a scary, if none-too-original, horror movie. (Unrated)

| Jul 10, 2007

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.

The film is intelligent and aware, if utterly gross, and on a technical level it's first-rate.

These Hills might have eyes, but they could have used some brains, or at least a steadier hand and a less contemptible sensibility to guide the grisly proceedings.

| Original Score: F | Aug 13, 2006

The Hills Have Eyes involves one basic premise: freaks with very rusty weapons eviscerating, disemboweling and decapitating stupid travelers lost somewhere between Point A and B ...

To describe this film as "pornographically violent" is an affront to pornography.

| May 4, 2006

I suppose what the core fans want to know is: is it really horror? The ayes have it...

| Apr 16, 2006

... Exists only to inflict an unfathomable amount of pain and suffering upon its characters and audience.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Apr 16, 2006
