"Sonora Desert, Arizona Located somewhere in Arizona. It’s one of the largest desert areas, in America. Why you wouldn’t want to visit: Mile of nothing anywhere, and possibly cannibalistic families."
"Plot: A family becomes stranded in the Californian desert, soon becoming pray to a roving band of cannibal freaks. Something of a mix between backwoods horror and atomic age monster tropes that, as a result, feels very much its own thing. Packed with some striking moments of shock and a gritty atmosphere, Hills works more as exploitation fare than overt classic. "
"Off the beaten bath? Please, you won’t survive out there for very long."
" Notes: Eventually, I thought it was pretty good but I can't say I was really blown away by the whole thing. Indeed, basically, it has the qualities and default of many vintage horror flicks. On the bright side, it displayed a really raw feeling and I really enjoyed the mood. On the downside, many things which were shocking back then don´t move you much nowadays and the whole thing looked rather cheap. But still, it is a great catchy title and some scenes were pretty messed up (in a good way) "

"22.6. On elokuvalla hetkensä, mutta valtaosa elokuvasta on niin hetketöntä. Erämaassa meno on vain sekavaa ja järjetöntä vääntöä asuntovaunun ja kukkuloiden välillä, mille koko huoltoaseman vanhan herrasmiehen tarina ja elokuvauksellinen toteutus on hyvää vastapainoa."
"20.8. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Yhteinen taipaleemme alkoi niin aikaisessa vaiheessa harrastusta, että tuskin osasin vielä tuolloin edes harrastukseksi mieltää. Videosensuurin kumoamisesta oli kolmisen vuotta ja DVD oli formaattina löytänyt kotikaupunkini, jolloin VHS:iä löysi kirppareilta aina tyyliin 50 sentillä. The Hills Have Eyes oli etunenässä, kun Future Film lykkäsi leikkaamatonta kauhua liikenteeseen. En tosin tiedä tämän saksimishistoriasta, ensitarkistuskin on teetetty "
“When I first watched it, I got scared for the dogs getting killed and turned it off! When I finally grew a pair, I ended up enjoying it and I was sorta wrong about the dogs getting killed (only one died sadly poor thing) and the film was exciting and well acted. This was well done for a film like this and I wish Wes Craven were still here so I can ask, “How did you make a gory masterpiece like this”. This film is definitely one of my favorites” read more
