The Hills Have Eyes
The thing about this film that makes it kinda scary is because it could actually be true. We all know families who aren't 'all there.' And we know that there are still tribes in South America that are untouched by modern civilization. As odd as the story sounds, it's a believable situation. The rapid dispatching of characterrs all at once made this one really interesting to watch, becasue I didn't know what the hell was gonna happen. The story is about a family getting stranded in the desert near a military base who gets attacked by cannibals. A good piece of work from Wes Craven in his glory years. 4.5 out of 5.
