Lol, geestar wanted me to hold him when the scary parts came on Just watched it again this afternoon with another buddy of mine - he loved it.
I saw the '77 version about twenty years ago so technically I've seen it but in truth I remember so little of the original that I couldn't make any real comparison. The '77 version is in my netfix queue
One thing i find about watching originals, is that the inevitable loss of effects kinda drags the film down. A brilliant plot makes this not matter, but u rarely get them
i have seen the hills have eyes, and it was a good movie. not too brutal and not too soft , nice plot and good actors. i recommend it for horror movie fans!
personally few things make my stomach turn, the new movie i felt was not good as it should be, the hills have eyes, had a dual rape scene that made me uncomfy "mainly coz that sort of thing" along with scenes from movies like "once where warriors" showing husband beating his wife to a pulp is the sort of scene that i find depressing maybe im getting old, or maybe i was expecting to sit on my ass and get brain damaged by a horror movie, not made to feel like vomiting blood the last good movie in the horror genre i watched was the amityville horror "the remake" and previous to that "white noise" was not bad, i felt movies such as silent hill based on video games are a bit lacking
See theres where we differ aramisk. I dont have the physchological strenght to withstand the "brain damaging" type horror movies, im just not cut out for them. (wuss...yup) Lol. I do agree that the amytiville horror was good though, did its job, i didnt open my wardrobe for weeks so i didnt meet that girl. Lol. I do agree though, that rape seen sent a chill down my sign. I hate them kinda thingzz........
Hey. Thought I'd add my view lol. I've seen the original and think it's the best! Gr8 film - v scary! lol

I'm with you guys about the rape scenes - I can't stand them and don't want to see them. I can watch all kinds of beatings, stabbings and shootings because I know it's just a movie but rape is too vile an act even in a movie.
see the thing is when you get to a certain age, ur bound to know someone close to home "friend, familly, x g/f" etc who has been raped so you automatically get very uncomfortable but the one in the new version of the hills have eyes is a bit extreme, if theres a scene in a movie thats violante etc its suppost to enhance the plot in my opinion the rape scene did not
Good to hear nephilm. Dear me. I must have been half asleep when i typed that or something. Seen should be scene. And "chill down my sign" should be "chill down my spine" Awful, excuse me.
Well i barely started watching those movies considering im 14 i probably shouldnt have watched it anyways, but i think that the rape scene was worst then any part of the movie (unrated) even all the pickaxes going through heads and lying in a box full of body parts. For some reason im not sure if there is something wrong with my brain but i couldnt help but let out a chuckle when that guy came out with a dog leg in his mouth that was pretty ridiculous ha.
