What to Know

Critics Consensus

Faster paced for today's audiences, this Hills remake ratchets up the gore for the hardcore horror fans, but will turn away casual audiences.

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. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper 03/20/2006

What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying. Go to Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times Oct 2
4/5
Yet while the killers' casualness is deeply disturbing, it's the ordinary family's shocking survival tactics that give the movie its lingering impact. Go to Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof 02/12/2020
A good movie that never aims to achieve perfection. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) 06/05/2019
2.5/4
For such a dark, gritty, ferocious film, the big, melodramatic finish betrays its creepy, low-budget aesthetic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Carrington S @RT97516098 Jun 27 Phenomenal Fantastic Movie! See more Callum P @RT72988767 Jun 25 I am a big horror movie fan. I will watch at least one a week with my friends and we get across a pretty wide range. But jesus christ i have never watched a horror movie so attrocious. This does mot have scares, it just tries to shock with an obscenely boring start followed by a rather nonsensical climactic moment where the director clearly just wanted to see someone get SA'd. If you want a brutal horror taking place in the desert, watch wolf creek. If you want something to really scary there are so many recent horrors that are well made (smile, hereditary, invisible man). Do not watch this movie. Oath. See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 May 1 The Hills Have Eyes (2006) It's a really boring movie full of plot holes. The cast is a real disappointment, the central story is very generic, and the horror is quite weak. There are many people who really like this movie and consider it a classic. See more Tierney O @RT76648757 Apr 14 I remember seeing this first when I was nine it was a big heart racer the scenes were completely unecessary and really put a viewpoint on me of not watching movies that is straight up gore no plotline. It started of good but got concerning. Partial recommend because it wasn't the worst as it did give the characters some personality before the gore. But then again I can't be saying much given the age I watched it I was probably dramatic as hell. In my eyes it was greusome I stand by it. The r4pe scene was not necessary forever staying by that point. Trashy but acceptable. See more Poncho J @BoyBavvang Apr 6 Entertaining revenge flick without much substance. See more Carlos M @CarlosMZ Mar 21 Es muy buena me recuerda mucho a masacre en texas porque los canibales que se topan los emboscan y tienen modus operandi vale la pena verla si te gustan los thrillers / slashers See more Read all reviews
