I cannot wait for the Hills Have Eyes remake to come out. I'm sure it will be watered down and shit, but still...can't wait. The original kicked ass.

I don't think it was watered down at all. I'm not a bit fan of the original, so I wasn't expecting much from the remake; but if anything, the new version is better.

The tone is inconsistent. Much of it is too grueling for the average audience, but gorehounds will love it. Sometimes the movies goes all "aint-it-cool" on us and we're supposed to get a campy kick out of how sick and gorey it is (you laugh and say I can't believe they showed that!) Then it stops being scary and turns into a Charles Bronson revenge pic when the heroes turn the tables.

If made me think of the old joke: "If you don't like the weather here, wait fifteen minutes." If you don't like what you're seeing on screen in HILL HAVE EYES, just wait fifteen minutes, becuase it will change into something else.

has a good cast, and a somewhat talented director (High Tension's problems were in the script), could be a good movie

It actually doesn't look that bad. I seen a trailer for it a couple of days ago, and it seems to follow the original well. And with the same director of High Tension behind the wheel, I think it might just me a good remake. Hopefully. Oh, and it's rated R! Yay!

Hopefully the original gets re-released on DVD as a promotion or whatever. I desperately want to see it, but no stores artound here carry it:(

The trailer for this did look pretty damn good though, I'll try to see this one in theatres...

Pretty good director and it just got away from a NC-17 rating so it's got a chance.

02-19-2006, 08:07 PM
why so close to nc-17?? is it due to the violence, sex, or language... or everything?

i'm not sure if i'll ever see a horror flick with as much language as the faculty though. damn.. he even says

Wow you'll miss out on a lot unfortuanatly, can't you just ignore it because, well you're not saying it and it's not being said to you. Oh well, not judging just wondering. I'm sure it's not all language though considering there's going to be plenty of violence and rape.

If that's the case then you most likely wont be seeing this one for a couple years.

That could be it but sometimes it's just difference in taste. I couldn't get my at the time 47 year old dad to sit through Nosferatu and I was 15.

The trailer looks decent. Since it's from the director of High Tension, I think it shows promise. Does anyone know an exact release date?

I was kinda hoping Michael Berryman would have been in it........even just a bit part...ya know...for nostalgic reasons.

no, i think some people misunderstood what i mean sometimes. i'm just never specific enough. for example dawn of the dead 1978, its a great movie, and i only meant it was boring because, as much as i remember, there was a huge lack of action in it, just, getting in the mall, and... talking, and occasionally shooting. i REALLY love the ending to dotd 1978 because of the bikers and such, and the one part where the elevator opens and the zombies literally shred the guy in it. i just liked the remake more, because the zombies showed a different side of horror, that isnt normally portrayed by zombies, the running. i'd be 20 times as terrified if a zombie came stampeding at me than bumbling along like they do.

I always assumed it was a given. Shit, if the guy's in a Rob Zombie movie he could might as well pop his head in this flick.

He might be uncredited, lingering in the background of a scene.

You're being to quick to judge. I already said.... Most of the time it isnt the whole movie, just parts of it, depending on the theme and setting. What gets me hooked is a danger feeling usually. Such as, again, old dotd vs new. I didn't feel like the 4 people were in any danger hardly until the end, where as, in the remake, the speedy zombies made everything scarier.

AUSTIN316426808

They(remake cast) were in practically no danger at all through the middle of the film. In the original there were zombies throughout the mall which they had to continuously go through to get food and supplies. So if you ask me the original had the cast in more danger throughout the body of the film more so than the remake.

I didn't like the original but the trailers for this one look sick. I'll definitely go and see it when it opens.

But the zombies were far too slow. The bikers threw PIES at them...

don't forget, in the original they went around and killed all the zombies in the mall and put them in a meat locker, then when the one guy turned Ben shot him, then they were Zombie-free. In the remake, Pfeifer's character was hiding his zombie lady and her zombie baby, and when the shit from that went down was when they decided to leave the mall.

Actually thats partly not true. They were forced to evacuate because when the people got back from rescuing the girl with the dog, the zombies infested the mall, and they had to run immediately or die.

my friend who reviews film just gave a giant thumbs up to this film on the radio today.

he's a huge fan of the origional and says this one is the bomb.

zwoti - feral cat ... you guys have more reason than anyone to dig this film (apparently it delves deeply into the western genre after the hour mark)

i'm now hyped to see it ..

hollywoodgothiq
03-10-2006, 07:52 AM
Western genre? More like the "Death Wish" genre -- i.e., a man's wife is killed so he goes on a rampage.

I guess it's a bit like a western -- you know, "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do," and all that bullshit.

eh .. i'm still interested ..

i generally see eye to eye on most films ..(certainly not all)
as my friend. I share his sense of fun in film and being a big fan of the western he was quite taken with this one.

there are a lot of things i'm sick of in films ... but this film, from your review and his - doesnt hit on any of my negative buttons - so far.

i guess i wont know till i see it.

Sooo... What kind of horror is it?

Is it like TCM and House of 1000 corpses?

Or is it good?:D

I don't really think it's like either of those movies. It's much less slavish than HoTC and more imaginative than the TCM remake. While it's obviously a remake, Aja clearly decided early on that he was going to take the story in the direction that he chose, rather than trying to imitate Craven's film. I'd say that it has a bit of the seventies flavor that those films had but, in my opinion, it's much more a modern film than either of those. It's one of the better remakes I've seen.
