Mini-review: The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

The Hills Have Eyes
Directed by Wes Craven



One of the earliest crazy hillbilly killer movies, and one of the most genuinely creepy. The acting is a bit stiff, but the characters are compelling enough to give you a reason to care what might happen to them (a statement that wouldn't apply to a majority of movies like this). Much like Wes Craven's first film, The Last House On The Left, this movie is violent, controversial, daring, and more than a little disturbing. It may not hold up as well as some others from its time, but still quite effective.

★★★★★★★☆☆☆
