The Hills Have Eyes. 2006.

This is actually a decent faithful remake to the original 1977 movie. Fans of the original film will be happy to see that the storyline does not deviate very far from Wes Craven's original tale, but fans of Alexandre Aja will be quite pleased with the gratuitous gore on display as pick-axes, baseball bats and even German shepherds are used as weapons. The film is very bloody and tense with a grim, gloomy atmosphere. Everyone turns in great performances despite some moments of clunky dialog. The desolate scenery is a character all its own, hellishly hot and red, littered with vultures and crows. and set in the middle of nowhere. What starts off with a slow build up of the family on a trip turns into a night and day battle of survival against mutant cannibals.
