The Hills Have Eyes is a 2006 horror film and remake of Wes Craven's 1977 film The Hills Have Eyes. Written by filmmaking partners Alexandre Aja and Grégory Levasseur of the French horror film Haute Tension, and directed by Aja, the film follows a family who becomes the target of a group of murderous mutants after their car breaks down in the desert.
The film was released theatrically in the United States and United Kingdom on March 10, 2006. It earned $15.5 million in its opening weekend in the U.S.,[1] where it was originally rated NC-17 for strong gruesome violence, but was later edited down to an R-rating. An unrated DVD version was released on June 20, 2006. A sequel, The Hills Have Eyes 2, was released in theaters March 23, 2007.
Ethel Carter (Kathleen Quinlan) and her husband, Bob Carter (Ted Levine) are traveling from Cleveland, Ohio to San Diego, California. Along with them is their daughter Brenda (Emilie de Ravin), son Bobby (Dan Byrd), eldest daughter Lynn (Vinessa Shaw), her husband Doug Bukowski (Aaron Stanford), their baby Catherine (Maisie Camilleri Preziosi), and the German Shepherds, Beauty and Beast.
After driving a few miles, the tires are punctured by a hidden spike belt. Bob returns to the gas station for a tow truck. Beauty runs into the hills and Bobby chases after her, eventually finding her corpse. Frightened, he runs, slips and falls, going unconscious. A young female mutant named Ruby (Laura Ortiz) comes across him and is intrigued, while her brother Goggle (Ezra Buzzington) chews over the dead dog. When Bob reaches the station, he finds the hysterical attendant (Tom Bower), who ultimately commits suicide. In fear, Bob tries to flee but gets attacked by the mutant leader, Papa Jupiter (Billy Drago). He is carried off into the mining caves by Jupiter, along with Jupiter's eldest son, Lizard (Robert Joy), and Pluto.
When Bobby awakes, he returns and does not tell his family of Beauty. As the family tries to sleep, Pluto sneaks into the trailer and attempts to rape Brenda. The others discover that Bob has been tied to a tree and set on fire. Doug unties Bob, but he is already dead by then. Lizard slips inside the trailer, throws Pluto off, and rapes Brenda himself. Lynn returns to the trailer and is greeted by Lizard and Pluto, who are holding Catherine and Brenda. Lizard forces open Lynn's blouse and sucks her breasts. Ethel attempts to pulverize Lizard but he shoots her and Lynn as well. The gun is out of bullets before Lizard can shoot Brenda, and he and Pluto flee with Catherine.
Doug and Bobby return to the trailer and discover the bodies. The next morning, Doug goes off in pursuit of their attackers. He finds an abandoned nuclear testing village and enters the house where Catherine is kept. He is knocked unconscious by Big Mama (Ivana Turchetto), and awakes in an icebox filled with human body parts. He frees himself and tries to find Catherine, only to encounter Big Brain (Desmond Askew). Big Brain tells him the story of the mutants, who were mutated by the fallout from the nuclear tests. Doug is then attacked by Pluto and loses two fingers in the ensuing struggle. He momentarily distracts Pluto and then kills him with the blade of his own axe.
Doug surprises the mutant Cyst (Gregory Nicotero) outside and uses Pluto's axe to kill him, while Big Brain is ultimately killed by Beast. Lizard takes a cleaver and prepares to kill Catherine, but finds that instead of Catherine, it is a pig. Ruby has taken Catherine and run into the hills; Lizard chases her, enraged by her deceit. Doug starts chasing Ruby as well. At the trailer, Ethel's body is dragged into the hills, and Bobby finds Papa Jupiter eating Ethel's heart. Jupiter pursues Bobby to the trailer, where Brenda releases gas from the propane tanks. Bobby binds Papa Jupiter's hand to the window and he and Brenda escape. The trailer then expolodes.
In the hills, Ruby is about to return Catherine to Doug when Lizard attacks. Doug shoots Lizard three times. Ruby gives Catherine back to Doug, who does not notice Lizard stand up, having survived. Ruby throws herself at Lizard, plunging them over a cliff, to stop Lizard from shooting Doug and Catherine, and sacrificing herself in the process. Bobby and Brenda walk through the ruins of the trailer and find Papa Jupiter still alive, though impaled. Brenda kills Papa Jupiter with a pickaxe and then spots Doug with Catherine and Beast. The four are reunited. As they celebrate their apparent victory, a pair of anonymous binoculars watches from the hills.

The Lucky Ones Die First. . .
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) I just re-watched this for the first time in at least 10 years and it’s still a great film. It’s still brutal by today’s standards and just as claustrophobic as I remembered. I remember the huge controversy over the shot of the baby with a gun in her face. And rightfully so, because it is still hard to watch. The grittiness of this intense remake really makes it standout from a lot of other modern reboots. The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007) Gory and gritty - this sequel to the remake of Wes Craven’s cult classic lacks the magic of its predecessor. The body count is bigger and the gore is plentiful, but the gripping sense of doom and true terror is gone. It still does its job as an enjoyable slasher, but it doesn’t add anything fresh to the franchise. Still worth a watch for the fun factor alone. This Blu Ray 2-Pack comes housed in an appealing slipcover and offers the same special features you would get if you purchased them separately - and at this great price, it's a real bargain.
