The Hills Have Eyes Cinema Review Something I didn't do much of last year was go to cinema, I was pretty broke last year cause of saving and did manage to see a couple of films on the big screen during the year, this year I hope to remedy the fact, and Tuesday is the cheapest day to go to cinema, the Cinema Review on this blog might become a regular fixture.

So this the remake of the 1977 "classic" (the original though enjoyable is not or never was the greatest horror movie out there) the first horror remake to hit this year in what will be the year of the horror remakes (The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man are coming) and some people have been trumpeting this and a whole bunch of other horrors as the return of grown up horrors and there are moments when this film is pretty brutal, but in all honestly it's bit meh.

It comes across closer to the Wrong Turn then to the original movie (it is a lot better then Wrong Turn though) and is pretty well cast: Aaron Stanford, whose a very underrated actor is very good in the lead role as Doug and the quest towards the end nearly almost fully draws you in, the rest of the family that get stranded in the middle of the desert are pretty good: Kathleen Quinlan (from Breakdown- never go on anywhere with her) and Silence of the Lambs serial killer Ted Levine playing a good guy her both good in the parent roles. whilst Dan Byrd as the son and Emilie de Raven (Claire from Lost, not another woman to travel with), both give suprisingly strong performances, the mutants though though never reaching the peaks of Michael Berryman are pretty memorable, but it's the dogs that steal the show (Beauty and Beast). Whilst I complained that Final Destination 3 did not have any character development, this just seemed to last an age to take off.

Overall, I'd probably would watch it again (I promise to review this again the future, after a DVD release), because part of me feels it does deserve another watch (I'm admitting I might be wrong on my first viewing). P.S I can't be the only one who feels a bit uneasy when a baby is put in the path of danger.
