The Hills Have Eyes (Remake)
Well, this didn't stray too far from the original, but it did amp up the gore quite a bit. I have always sort of thought the original Hills was pretty good, but not great and I guess I sorta feel the same way about this. The deformed family of inbreds maiming a group of stranded motorists is one of the older formulas in the horror film writing book so this film didn't really accomplish anything new in terms of plot. Aja did a good job directing, the acting was just fine and the story moved along pretty fluidly but like I said, there wasn't really anything new or groundbreaking here...
All in all, this is not a bad remake, but I don't think it's in league with TCM or Dawn of the Dead's remakes either....
