Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play With his 2006 remake of Wes Craven&39;s 1977 slasher &39;The Hills Have Eyes&39; French director Alexandre Aja manages to accomplish what many directors fail to do by making his film a definite improvement over the original With Craven on board as producer Aja sticks pretty closely to the first film&39;s script and storyline but with the help of a larger budget special effects better actors and slick cinematography creates a much scarier story While the film&39;s setting is contemporary it maintains a 1970s feel in parts paying tribute to the decade in which the slasher subgenre was born With an interesting opening-credit sequence consisting of actual nuclear testing footage we are told that the film&39;s desert setting was the site of nuclear testing during the 1950s and &39;60s Warned to vacate the miners that lived there refused to leave thus subjecting themselves to high levels of toxic radiation and breeding mutant babies as a result It is this generation of now-grown mutants that the poor Carter family has the misfortune to encounter while driving through New Mexico on their way to California When their vehicle breaks down in the desert the Carters are too busy bickering with one another to realise they have entered enemy territory But it doesn&39;t take long for the demented creatures living in the hills to make their presence known The gore fest that follows is packed with terribly frightening scenes of the deformed killers delighting in the torment and intended kill of each family member young mothers teen girls and babies included Much of the film is set in a government-created test city in which deteriorating mannequins take the place of actual humans Posing lifelessly alongside their mutant neighbours these waxy figures provide a chilling backdrop for the graphic war between the mutants and their victims
Wes Craven produces this remake of his 1977 classic of the same name, about the Carters, an idyllic American family travelling through the great American southwest. The family's trip takes a detour into an area closed off from the public, but more importantly from society. An area originally used by the U.S. Government for nuclear testing that was intended to be empty - or so they thought. When the Carters' car breaks down at the old site, they're stranded - or are they? The Carters soon realise that what seemed like a car casually breaking down, might actually be a trap, perpetrated by the inhabitants of the site planning a gruesome massacre.
