Interesting, mind giving some details? I've never noticed anything in common between the two (aside from the obvioius naming of the main villains, and the fact that it has to do with people being killed).

Nancy sets the same traps for Freddy in A Nightmare On Elm Street that the Collingwoods set for Krug, Junior, Sade, and Weasel in The Last House On the Left. The entire sequence is nearly identical between the two movies and if I am not mistaken, both Nancy and the Collingwoods devise the traps from the same book.

Ah, that's right! Forgot about that sequence. I remember noticing that when I first watched them both in the same day, forgot since then.

well i'll be, you do forget shit about horror movies....

has anyone saw the sequel to the hills have eyes?

I agree but I thought the dog's flashback moments to the original's highlights were pretty nifty!

there are a few decent scenes within the sequel

From the dog's perspective... 🤘

yeah lol

Wes Craven recycled a large part of The Last House On the Left and put it in A Nightmare On Elm Street.

What? Wait a minute.....no..............no I don't think so. Please give an exampe of why you would think that.

He already did, although i wouldn't call it a "large part". It was pretty trivial.

It is probably one of the larger sequences in the entire film.

traps are also set in the hills have eyes near the end of the film for the cannibals

The scene may have been a bit lengthier then others, but it's importance is pretty minimal in both flicks. Seems that it was more or less a time waster then anything else, seeing as the traps never really did much in either film. I still don't see these as being a large part of either movie...

Unless you are talking about actual length, in which case - sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yes, I was talking about length.

Okie doke.

Saw The Hills Have Eyes last night. I didn't expect anything over the top, just along the lines of LHOTL. Got what I wanted, and I didn't have to sit through some debacle featuring the no-talent actresses that Hollywood is feeding us today.

I thought the hills have eyes was good it was one of craven better films better than the stuff he makes today.

this is being remade by the guy that made Haute Tension, chosen personally by wes craven

Just saw it today, I liked it alot.

hehehe The last post on this thread was 4/20 😮

Well, I for one am a fan of 2001 and the first time I saw it, it was in one of the theaters called Translux Cinerama, which apparently do not exist anymore. From what I have found, there were several of them in the US and this one was in St. Louis, MO. Here are 2 photos of the inside showing the screens covered with curtains before a show. There were 3 screens and if you were lucky enough to get down near the front, you felt surrounded by them, similar to an Omnimax, only better, IMHO. There were also 3 separate film reels going at the same time, one for each screen.

I managed to be down that far and the effect was totally awesome. One really felt that they were out there in space, too. When *forget the guy's name, sorry* was doing is jogging on that wheel, I thought I was going to throw up and had dizzy spells at the same time. 😂 It was very similar to a ride on a ferris wheel and everything was very three dimensional. I still love the film and the ones that followed as sequels but seeing the first one in that cinema was mind blowing!

Then again........one of the most beautiful and artistic films of all time goes unappreciated today......2001 : A Space Odyssey. People have become to jaded by films in the last 20 years or so..........instead of going to a movie to get inside a director's head and see his vision.......they just go to eat popcorn.

and yes.......people on this very board have talked down about 2001......which is why I don't take too many people's opinions on here seriously. There is a difference in my mind between cinema and your basic flick. Cinema implies art and vision........whereas flicks like T2 imply selling popcorn and making money.
