-=- The Hills Have Eyes -=-

This may shock and anger many of our resident horror buffs, but according to Yahoo (.co.uk) entertainment news Wes Craven has given the go ahead for his cult classic The Hills Have Eyes to be remade this time Craven's duty will be to produce and the directorial duties will fall to 'French Fright Duo' Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur (Aja will write and Levasseur will direct).

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.

Set Report from The Hills Have Eyes Remake

This is a remake that I think had to be done. I wasn't really a fan of the original film but I think now with more money, better special FX from KNB, and a better director this could be a really great movie.

Fangoria was able to get behind the scenes and talk to several of the producers and the director about "The Hills Have Eyes". The associate producer Cody Zwieg explains why they believe the remake was necessary:

“The original HILLS is a classic in its own way, but everybody involved would agree that it wasn’t necessarily a perfect movie. They shot it fast, they had no money, they made it as scary as possible with an incredibly original story, but they had their limitations. I believe we’re able to take it a step further, whether it’s with prosthetics, or visual effects, or expanding the story. When you look at something like that, why not try to update it, breathe new life into it?”

Nicely put if you ask me. You can catch "The Hills Have Eyes" remake in theatres on March 10th, 2006.

I am looking forwards to the remake a lot, didn't think much of the original, found it a bore.

And it has a fabulous director, Haute Tension's Alexandre Aja! Can't wait.

ya its coming out on march 10 2006

A Small Report from a journalist who has seen a preview of the movie :

After the reception, The Hills Have Eyes. This is where the evening wound down. I wonder how Wes Craven is feeling about this? The audience didn't really seem to be with it, and were joking about it afterwards. We were also shown a variation of a scene that might or might not end up in the film- mostly to do with the color. Anyone who had problems with High Tension will find that Alexandre Aja is up to the same shenanigans here.

As we were leaving the theater, we were treated to a couple of little goodies from the film. From Night Watch we got a box containing the doll with spider legs made famous in the trailer. It's a weird choice, since it's not exactly a big part of the film (although it's displayed in the poster). Still, the strange little windup toy gets a lot of interesting looks from my coworkers. From the Hills Have Eyes, we got this disgusting little squishy-ball thing. It looks like a red stress ball, but when you crush it in your hand the innards squeeze out of holes... and they're packed with body parts. I count 4 tounges, 2 eyes, 4 noses and 3 ears, along with a lot of blood. The pieces are ragged and bloody, as if they'd just been taken off a body. Needless to say, this is a great little toy to just leave around until an unsuspecting individual picks it up and tests it out. Probably the best thing to come from the movie!

I f**kin hate ppl who have to remake films and ruin them. Ive hated every remake ive ever seen all they do is destroy classic horrors. These b**tards looking to make money off someone elses work should not be allowed to make films. Im disappointed in Wes Craven for letting ppl ruin the hills have eyes.

The Hills Have Eyes isn't exactly a classic, well not in my eyes anyway.

Still a remake will not be any better. I HATE remakes there shit

Wow, I had no idea there was a remake coming out.
