Overview Three high-school students are witnesses to a violent murder. Joined together by this unforgettable experience in a way they cannot understand, their link to the world of violence strengthens when a group of rapists attack one of their female friends. Embracing the shocking underworld of savagery, the three teenagers make a pact to find the rapists and exact revenge for their friend.
My Impression It's been a while since I've watch this one (at least more than 2 years) and I've obviously forgot that this isn't a typical horror movie. It's more your typical familly friendly japanese movie
Of course this isn't true (at least I hope) since the movie is a "what if?" type of movie, in this case what would you do if your new girlfriend would be raped and murdered by a gang of teenage bad guy? Being a Japanese movie if your answer was "call the police" you are wrong... The real answer : go there with 2 new friends and beat the crap out of them and more. That can be sound like a piece of garbage, but a long time is pass in the film to show the love story between the 2 young protagonists (almost one hour) and this revenge doesn't sound gratuitious. Yes it's bloody and violent, but this isn't without reasons like in the stupid Hostel. You will see that no one can used violence and not be affected by it (it doesn't end well for neither the rape gang and the revenge gang). Some of the acting look over the top, but I see that more as a way to reflect what happen when your brain switch is at the off position.
2 others films were made in that serie, but I haven't see them yet...
I recommand this film, but it isn't a movie for everybody
The Hills Have Eyes(Remake), a review by addicted2dvd
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) The shock-a-minute chiller that scared the 'hill' out of audiences around the world takes terror to the next level in this Unrated Special Edition including additional footage not shown in theaters and DVD special features to die for!

Packed with gut-wrenching gore, ghastly makeup effects and heart-stopping suspense, 'The Hills Have Eyes' will keep you on the edge of your seat - and your sanity!
My Thoughts: This was a complete blind buy... never even seen the trailer before buying it the other day. Before watching a movie I always (Whenever Possible) watch the trailer first whether it is on the disc or if I have to find it online. The first thing I noticed when I watched the trailer today is that Emilie de Ravin is in the movie. I first became aware of her in the TV Series Roswell. Then I also notice Ted Levine who I know from the TV Series Monk. So I was happy to see that there will be a familiar face or two in it to watch. In the credits I also saw the name Billy Drago who I have become a fan of over the years. I first notice as The Demon of Fear on Charmed. Though I didn't notice him in the movie itself... so I imagine he was one of the ones that was buried under a whole lot of prosthetic make-up. I never seen the original to compare this to... but that may be a good thing because I was able to judge this movie on it's own merits alone... and I must say I enjoyed every minute of it. I have the Unrated version... and they definitely wasn't shy with gore in this movie!
One Good Man This episode is not bad... but there isn't really anything special about it either. This one feels like nothing more then a filler episode to me.
The return of Mackenzie King, the reporter from Episode 2. I think Pete was looking forward to her return. This time though the character is not played by a brunette but by a blonde (sorry Pete ). Maria Bello actually. (ER; Coyote Ugly).
Pretty good episode. Nothing great though. We do learn a bit more about Ray's background.
Rating:
Yes... I was looking forward to her return... and I don't like that they had to replace the actress playing her. Don't get me wrong... I don't really dislike blondes... I just prefer red heads and brunettes. Though they should have gotten a brunette for continuity sake!
