Buffalo Bill takes his family out to LA and gets lost in the desert somewhere on the way. The real problem is that there is a family of mutants waiting to kill his family.
They turned The Hills Have Eyes into a gory Texas Chainsaw Massacre set in the desert. There's the big dumb guy, the smarter leader, the freak who doesn't move, the chick, etc.
I hate horror films like this one. It's all about the gore and shock factor and not about anything actually scary. Hey Hollywood, if I wanted to watch something that would make me nervous about my family's safety I'd watch the news. The horrors they show there can occur in my home. I don't even need to pack the family up and take them to the desert.
There's also a political message or two which is standard for Hollywood. Here, you had the "Nukes are bad, mmmK?" and something else that I'm not sure was intentional...
*SPOILERS IN THE NEXT PARAGRAPH***
Early in the film, a cop and his kid mock a Dem (It's what they call him) for being a pussy because he won't and can't handle a gun. Later, he comes to the realization that he is a pussy and could have stopped some things. That's when he mans up and fights violence with violence.
*END SPOILERS*
Again, not sure if that was political, but considering they went out of their way to call him a "Dem", it makes one wonder.
Anyway, the film is mildly entertaining, but nothing you haven't seen before.
4 out of 10.
The Hills Have Eyes - Remake
You can imagine which plot line disturbed me the most.
And I KNEW that was Buffalo Bill.... but I always refer to him as "That Dick General" from Evolution.
Washed-up directors like Ivan Reitman & John Landis need to form a support group or something so they can figure out why their movies now suck.
Stripes...Ghostbuster...Twins
Then Ghostbusters II...Junior...Evolution
Kentucky Fried Movie...Animal House...The Blues Brothers...Trading Places...Coming to America...Spies Like Us...The Three Amigos
