Whilst on a road trip a large family's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, suddenly they are attacked by the rural savages and must fight for there survival.

Wes Craven's tension filled survival horror is one of his best. Unlike a lot of similarly themed movies (& frankly the remake) this really does maintain a suspenseful feeling throughout, with many jump scares maintaining a high fear factor. Craven keeps up pace expertly from the opening through to the slightly sudden end, the action really never let's up and the writing is very tightly done with the emphasis on story never really wavering off track, all this clearly showing that big things were obviously destined for Craven. There are many strong sequences in the film the best is almost certainly the trailer attack, very well done and scary to boot. Performance wise this doesn't disappoint, soon to be big 80's star Dee Wallace (E.T., Cujo) and the striking Michael Berryman are arguably the 2 biggest standouts but the entire cast do a great job, as are the make-up effects which do a convincing job of adding to the overall horrific feel of the picture. The only (very small) negative is the silly dog sequence, pushing someone to their death & helpfully carrying a radio back the trailer, it's a little far fetched but doesn't detract from a hugely enjoyable film.

Definitely one of the most enjoyable and easy to watch of the movies that was unfortunately caught up in the video nasty debacle (this was a section 3 title). Along with Nightmare On Elm Street & Scream, The Hills Have Eyes is most certainly one of Wes' top 3 pictures, intense and scary that puts many bigger budgeted films to shame. 4.5/5

By far Wes Craven's best film. The Hills Have Eyes is grindhouse horror whacked up to the max.

A slow burner with characters and dialogue that keep you interested until the halfway mark where the mess hits the fan. Michael Berryman ever so delighful and a big softy in real life, is terrifying here.

The Hills Have Eyes is swamped in 70s nostalgia- a wonderful film that has not been bettered by the recent poor souless remakes.

Easy in my top 20 horrors of all time.

An essential purchase.

A derelict dump in a dismal, dusty desert. An old timer is planning to leave, hurriedly harbouring a feral girl who also seeks escape. A family of tourists - big car, bigger caravan - arrive in search of fuel and directions to a old silver mine. Despite the old timer's protestations that they go back to civilisation and stick to the main road, you know there's something out there and it might be crazed and demonic, but it's got more sense than they have. They're doomed, all doomed. This is a nuclear testing site and Air Force bombing range, and nobody is going to come looking for them. Did I say nobody?
What follows is a siege of the broken down car and caravan, the tourists slowly being picked off by a family of feral cannibals who watch from the hills then come looking for excitement and food.
Although marred by the cliché of the women doing a lot of emotional screaming while the men try to remain taciturn and phlegmatic, this is a superior horror movie. It's reminiscent of the Sawney Bean tradition famous in my part of Scotland. The horror gets a touch sentimental in places, and the bad guys are really just ugly nasties - there's little attempt to explain or elaborate their characters. The good guys, meanwhile, are probably just a touch too clean cut and stereotypical - and, I repeat, the women scream a lot.
"The Hills Have Eyes" builds on the tensions created by isolation and environment. This is civilised man confronted with the gradual stripping away of the trappings of civilisation - loss of wheels and mobility, loss of contact with the outside world, loss of food, loss of firepower, loss of life, loss of innocence. Surely anyone in this environment would return to the wild, become red in tooth and claw.

The Hills Have Eyes is a nasty, rattle-and-scream horror tale, which is a cut above the slashers that would follow due to its focus on suspense over simple gore. That said, this is still a sick and horrifying film, full of crucifixion, burning, rape and, no doubt most controversially, a baby in peril (no violence against it happens, thank God). Its plot is the stuff of campfire tales. An all-white, conservative family (mum's a Christian and dad's a casual racist) are driving to California when they stop at a gas station run by a bearded hermit (John Steadman) who warns them against a detour to an abandoned silver mine in the desert. Of course they ignore his warnings and find themselves stranded, surrounded on all sides by ominous hills.
The family consist of Bob (Russ Grieve), a retired cop with heart problems, Ethel (Virginia Vincent), their children Bobby (Robert Houston), Brenda (Susan Lanier) and Lynn (Dee Wallace), Lynn's husband Doug (Martin Speer), their baby Katie, and two dogs, Beauty and Beast. They seem like a normal, close-knit seventies family unit, the kind you'd see on old American sitcoms. When Bob and Doug go to look for help Bobby is given their spare gun and left in charge, despite being younger than Lynn. There's subtext here, especially when we meet our antagonists, a family of grotesque savages. Their patriarch is Papa Jupiter (James Whitworth), who with Mama (Cordy Clark) has four children, Mars (Lance Gordon), Pluto (Michael Berryman), Mercury (Arthur King) and Ruby (Janis Blythe). It's worth noting that only the men in this family are deformed. Mama and Ruby look comparatively normal, and would blend in with civilisation.
Such are the observations one makes while watching The Hills Have Eyes, which has a mind beneath its violence.
