Alright, I know all of you have seen the ad at the top of KMC flashing about the upcoming release of The Hills Have Eyes! June 20th, for those who haven't! Whose going to buy it?
Not me. I watched it yesterday and thought it was as bad, if not worse, than the original. People are trying to make some sort of social commentary out of it when all it is are some genetically deformed cannibals in the middle of nowhere. There were some unnecessarily gruesome and disturbign scenes that were actually pretty tasteless and probably used to make up for the lack of anything of true interest.
Sorry to interject again, but where's the rewatch value in this? The first 50 minutes, seriously, nothing happens. Aja resorted to cheap jump scares, which is a shame for someone who had the support of so many people before this. The remainder is just unnecessarily debotched, right down to the graphic rape scenes which have been done before, just not as tasteless, perhaps.
But, to each their own, I suppose. I'll leave a copy for you guys to let collect dust on your shelves.
You must not've seen it then considering they didn't even rape her, they raped the other girl.
Go watch it instead of getting information on it from your friends, you opinion might be different from theirs.
I watched the DVD Wednesday night, at my house, by myself, and the mother WAS raped, because the camera was clearly focused on the one guy, sucking on her breast as she sat there and cried. A lingering shot of a lactating, new mom, being violated.
I don't cite reasons for the sake of knocking a movie. I know what I saw, and forced oral sex is as much rape as penentration. They both got raped, and it effected me on a personal level.
Violation of a womans' parts is clearly different from rape. Sexual ASSAULT, maybe, but not rape.
And if that gave an effect on you, well, that's weird.
