Lot Of 3 Horror DVDs The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007) Jackson Tutchener-Ellis a year ago An excellent movie. I've seen the original The Hills have eyes, The Hills have eyes remake and the remake of The hills have eyes 2. An overall my least favourite was the original and my favourite was The Hills have eyes 2. So this movie starts off fairly slow but then gets into the proper action. Its scarier than The original and remake and features more gore and kills. The cannibals seem scarier in this movie. And it has a decent plot, mutants vs the military.

Man, movie title marketing is confusing... My roommate loves this one a lot because she has a hard on for military horror, and while I don't love it, I'm still happy to give it a regular re-watch. Final rating:??? - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go. 2 people found this helpful. Profile image Benley ! 2 years ago Critics are rarely the way to go on movies. This was much better than the first movie. Surprisingly i liked the military environment characters here. A good sequel that doesnt copy the first. If you like the Wrong Turn movies, youll love this- it even has some of the same actors Friday the 13th: Killer Cut TechnoMachinima1996 5.0 out of 5 stars 35 years ago a slasher classic was created and its name is Friday the 13th! Reviewed in the United States ?? on September 24, 2015 Verified Purchase Some facts about the movie: Friday the 13th was directed and produced by Sean S. Cunningham. The gore and makeup effects were done by the great Tom "Sex Machine Savini. The musical score was by Harry Manfredini. The alternate title to the movie is A Long Night at Camp Blood. It was shot in and around Blairstown and Hope New Jersey. The camp used in the movie is a real life Boy Scout camp named, Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. The movie was distributed by Paramount. The budget was $550,000. The opening weekend saw an amount of $5,816,321. It's total domestic gross was $39,754,601. Finally, it's theatrical release was on May 9, 1980. The plot: After singing some songs with the kids, two horny camp counselors go to the attic to have sex. Meanwhile, someone unknown and unseen is creeping up the steps. This person stabs the male counselor and the female counselor is frantically moving around while cornered, then there's a freeze frame of her screaming. The opening credits roll including an eerie theme song by Harry Manfredini. The movie now focuses on a beautiful teen girl named Annie who got a job at as a cook at Camp Crystal Lake. She enters a small town and comes to a diner and gets a ride from a trucker named Enos. They come accross a weird old man known as Crazy Ralph. Crazy Ralph makes claim that Camp Crystal Lake is cursed. They just ignore his warning(s) and go on. Enos then tells Annie about the past misfortunes at Camp Crystal Lake; including things like, the drowning of an 11 year old boy named Jason Voorhees in 1957 and the water going bad in 1962. The new owner Steve Christy continues to keep the camp going all the same. We next meet 3 other counselors to be, Ned, Marcie, and Jack(Kevin Bacon). Next you meet Steve Christy and his handy girl Alice and Bill. Annie next accepts a ride from a silent and unseen driver. The driver passes the turn to the camp, Annie jumps out of the car while it's moving, the driver chases her, and slits her throat. Meanwhile, an obnoxious cop named Officer Dorf is searching for Crazy Ralph. No one knows that Annie is dead nor do they know the danger that's soon to befall them. Who the killer is is anyone's guess. This movie utilizes cool methods such as first person camera perspectives are a very clever and effectively scary element that's often used whenever the killer is watching and stalking the victims. The creeping camera pans work very well also, to say nothing of the killers eerie ki ki ki ki ma ma ma ma sounds are bound to send shivers up your spine. The night scenes are all beautifully lit. The night shots of the full moon make for some incredibly creepy feelings of unease. I particularly love the crossfade including the full moon, Alice running from the killer, and the up close shot of the killers mouth. Totally brilliant. Tom Savini's gore effects are incredibly realistic looking and at the time, beyond compare. The kill scenes are very unique and a great way to start the franchise off. Sadly there's nothing much going on with the nudity, but that doesn't ruin anything. Some of my favorite kill scenes are: One of the counselors getting an arrow through the throat, the axe to the eye that another one got, and Annie's throat being slit. All are very realistic looking and flawless. SPOILER ALERT: I will talk about the ending some. If you haven't seen this movie than you might want to skip this part. After it's discovered that Mrs.Voorhees is the killer and after quite a chase and struggle between them, the slo-mo used for when Alice charges at Mrs. Voorhees and decapitates her with a machete is just awesome and effective. The gore effect used for her head coming off is very well done. The next scene where Alice is in a boat with the peaceful and cheery new age like music in the background and Alice seeing the cops on land giving off a false sense of security was genius. Especially since what next transpires is little Jason jumps out of water and pulls Alice down in the drink. Lastly, when at the hospital Alice tells the sheriff about what had happened and he never came up with anything regarding a young boy jumping out of the water. That being the case, what really happened is a total mystery. The mystery and ambiguity to that ending is a very practical closer to the movie. END OF SPOILERS Overall, If you love a good slasher and/or 80's horror movie, with such events as beautiful and sexy people, realistic looking gore effects, campy characters, a complete murder mystery that keeps you guessing, well lit night scenes, eerie music, first person stalker camera perspectives, a location that boasts both an incredible sense of atmosphere as well as isolation, great suspense, and very unique and original kill scenes than this great classic slasher should prove to be right up your alley. House of 1000 Corpses spencer vogel 5.0 out of 5 stars All American Horror Reviewed in the United States ?? on November 13, 2003 Verified Purchase I just finished watching Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses for the fourth time and was once again amazed by just how good a movie it is; amazed enough to write a review. I remember seeing this in the theater a few weeks after its initial release. The few people that were in the audience walked out of the movie either completely traumatized or screaming like a bunch of demented Kiss fans. There hasn't been a true horror movie like this made in years. What has passed for horror over the last decade has either been gory Clearasil commercials (Scream and its clones) or ghosts-just-need-to-be-understood melodramas (the godawful Sixth Sense and its clones). It seems movie makers have forgotten that horror needs to be horrific. House of 1000 Corpses is not a perfect horror movie. It doesn't even come close to the terror induced by a movie like the Shining. However, it is one of the few horror movies out there that has what you could call a "vision". Rob Zombie took a generic plot (actually, he just stole it from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and beefed it up with some of the best mix of imagery, sound and emotion ever put into a horror flick. This movie didn't give me nightmares, but the images did linger in my mind for weeks after first seeing it. It is filled with an insane amount of detail that really holds up after repeated viewings. What seperates a good horror flick from a great one is atmosphere and this movie has it in spades. Every set from Spaulding's road side attraction to the lair of Dr. Satan reinforces the sense that we, the viewer, have come for a freak show and by God we are going to get it! This movie comes from a long tradition of disturbing and shocking movies that may not make you scream but are guranteed to get under your skin. In it you will find none of the elements that ruin modern horror: there are no digital images, there is no polished dialogue with clever refrences to other, better movies and the killers are about as far away from glamourous as you can get. What this movie does have is an incredible sense of artistry, an excellent pace, great camerawork and a complete disregard for good taste or moral boundaries. The villains embody everything that is disturbing about evil. They hate you, they'll hurt you and hurting you gets them off. The only way I could think of improving the movie would be to make the victims a bit more sympathetic. Excessive character development isn't necessary in a horror movie but I think that I would feel an even greater fear if I like the victims. The victims in this movie are complete jackasses and I almost enjoyed seeing them suffer. I think a villain is nastier if he preys not only on innocence, but on likeable, attractive innocence. This minor gripe doesn't ruin the movie though. I highly recommend seeing this movie, especially if you plan on watching it with someone easily offended....you'll have a field day trying to calm them down. Word around the campfire says that the sequel will pit the depraved Firefly clan against a new set of villains, hopefully nastier than them. I can't wait.
