For those who have yet to experience the original the plot revolves around a hapless family who make an unwise detour right into the grasps of a disturbing clan who soon prey upon the family.

Well, I know this is really late to respond to this topic but I just saw the remake of the Hills Have Eyes. I actually thought it was great except for the begining. I DID NOT NEED THE TEXT EXPLANATION FLASHING ONSCREEN FIRST, OR THE WHOLE ENCAPSULATED BACKSTORY ABOUT A GOV. EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG WITH SUBSEQUENT COVER UP. This should have been saved for later.

THE MOVIE SHOULD HAVE JUST STARTED WITH THE OLD GUY AT THE AT THE GAS STATION. AHEM. I COMMEND MR ALEXANDRE FOR A JOB WELL DONE OTHERWISE.

I re-edited the film on my home computer. All I did was chop out the entire intro sequence. I inserted an 2-d animated title sequence with just a black screen and little white eyes popping out randomely like in the old Scooby Doo cartoon intros. The first frame of actual live footage did not start until the old guy at the gas station.

I feel that in the intro in the films theatrical release was the exposition, which should have been saved until the end of or middle of the 2nd act or the start of the 3rd.
