tonight's feature: The Hills Have Eyes (1977) on Shudder
This Wes Craven classic is up there with some of the all time greats. Sure, the characters are over the top and the Mad Max meets the Flinstones vibe seems a little far fetched for 1977, but you can't go wrong with the absolute chaos set loose in The Hills Have Eyes.
The Carter family are driving through the desert on their way to Los Angeles and decide to ignore Fred the gas station guy when he tells them to stay on the main highway. Soon they're stuck deep in the middle of nowhere and become targets of a brutal family of mutant cannibal assholes. Dad decides to walk back to the gas station by himself, one of the dogs gets murdered and then it becomes dark. Bad stuff happens then the baby gets kidnapped and gets slated for the next bbq.
After more murders, chase scenes, and dog attacks, the remaining Carters have seemingly become as bloodthirsty as the cannibals. Obviously essential viewing for any true horror fans. 8 blood-curling-can't-think-straight Brenda screams out of 10.
