Summary

Based on Wes Craven's 1977 suspenseful cult classic, The Hills Have Eyes is the story of a family road trip that goes terrifyingly awry when the travelers become stranded in a government atomic zone.

What to Expect

This Hills Have Eyes is a reboot of Wes Craven's original from 1977. It was actually only his third ever movie. His debut film was The Last House on the Left from '72.

You take a film from decades before that has a solid, worthwhile story and update it with sleeker production values and more visceral gore for today’s desensitized audiences.

– Sick Flix

The Hills Have Eyes isn’t one of Craven’s most well-known films and certainly not his best, but it still is a classic to the hardcore horror fans like myself.
