 Tagline: The lucky ones die first.
A hapless family makes a detour to a desolated desert to visit a silver mine they've inherited where they are preyed upon by a disturbing clan.
A new take on Wes Craven's 1977 film of the same name, "The Hills Have Eyes" is the story of a family road trip that goes terrifyingly awry when the travelers become stranded in a government atomic zone. Miles from nowhere, the Carters soon realize the seemingly uninhabited wasteland is actually the breeding ground of a blood-thirsty mutant family...and they are the prey.
In the annals of modern fear, few films have had as deep an impact as Wes Craven’s 1977 cult classic The Hills Have Eyes. With its gritty, ferocious and relentlessly suspenseful tale of a vacationing family who suddenly face a desperate battle for survival, the low-low-budget but no-holds-barred film was resonant with both intriguing themes and outrageous shocks to the nervous system.
Now, inspired by the wild imagination of suspense-master Craven-- who serves as producer along with Marianne Maddalena and Peter Locke -- comes a contemporary reinterpretation of The Hills Have Eyes from the cutting-edge young filmmakers, Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, whose recent hit High Tension won acclaim and controversy for raising the bar on horror films again with its graphic, white-knuckle take on psychological terror.
