The remake of Hills Have Eyes was great and in some ways improved on the original. This, however is just sleep inducing and incredibly boring. None of the actors, besides Sara Paxton (Mary) are remotely interesting or memorable and it seems at times like none of them, particular the Krug character, even bothered to watch the original. That, plus the film runs at least half an hour too long! I think the scenes in the woods are convincingly done and some of the cinematography is impressive but seeing as Wes and Sean were both involved with the production, I was hoping for something a lot less slick and middle of the road. This film simply made me want to view the original again instead and remind myself how groundbreaking and powerful it still is. Oh, and the ending was just ridiculous.
