The Hills Have Eyes is one of the earlier movies directed by the creator of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, Wes Craven. How this film was ever given the title as a "horror classic" is beyond me. It's really not that good of a film. Psycho, the Exorcist, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street; those are horror classics. This film just isn't scary. When the "monsters" in a film are borderline retards, it is a little hard to get scared.
Don't get me wrong, this film has some good scenes. When the "cannibal family" goes to take over the camper I was into it. However, the stuff before and after that was very mediocre. The latter part of the film was almost like a cat and mouse chase between the "good" family and the "bad" family.
Bottom Line: It's not a classic. It's not scary. Don't waste your time
