Hills Remake......Not as visceral as everyone is saying!!!
27 March 2006
First of all lets start out with all these people who are writing comments and people writing reviews about how GORY and Visceral this movie is! Well it's not that gory, so apparently these people did not see Hostel which I thought was a far more gut wrenching and visually scary film. This film had it's moments but if you have seen the original it kind of takes away from this movie. I left the theater feeling a little uninspired. I know I know it's a remake but the plot followed so closely that it seemed to take away the shock value of the special gore effects. The gore was good when it was there but still was not what I was expecting. Out of the 3 recent horror movies that I have seen at the theater I would have to rank them: 1. Hostel 2. Final destination 3 3. Hills have eyes as far as the gore factor, don't get me wrong the acting and story line in this movie is far superior to FD3 but FD3 had more astounding kill scenes! Overall you won't be disappointed with Aja's effort here but it is lacking something.
