Ennesima variazione sul tema
"gruppetto sperduto - VERSUS - mostri mutanti",
Le Colline Hanno Gli Occhi (remake dell'
omonimo del 1977 di
Wes Craven, che non ho visto) si difende abbastanza bene.
Una allegra e numerosa famigliola composta da persone che già fanno fatica a sopportarsi a vicenda resta bloccata nel bel mezzo del deserto del
New Mexico, in una zona che fu sito di numerosi test nucleari americani negli anni '50 e '60.
Scopriranno che alcuni abitanti locali, che all'epoca dei test rifiutarono di trasferirsi, si sono rifugiati in delle grotte ed hanno figliato come conigli dando vita ad una stirpe di mutanti mangia-uomini.
Scontato dall'inizio alla fine e senza una trama vera e propria, il film preme l'acceleratore sul sangue e sulla violenza, pieno com'è di teste fracassate a colpi di accetta e sventramenti vari. Scontro finale tra quello che sembrava il più fesso di tutti - ma che per amore della figlia si rivela una macchina da guerra - ed un
Brian Adams mutante.
Unica nota originale la figura della bambina mutante (che non so se c'era anche nell'originale).
Voto: 6. Può piacere, può non piacere.

Cast:Trama:Wes Craven produces this remake of his 1977 classic of the same name, about the Carters, an idyllic American family travelling through the great American southwest. But their trip takes a detour into an area closed off from the public, but more importantly from society. An area originally used by the U.S. Government for nuclear testing that was intended to be empty...or so they thought? When the Carter's car breaks down at the old site, they're stranded...or are they? As the Carters may soon realize that what seemed like a car casually breaking down, might actually be a trap. This trap might be perpetrated by the inhabitants of the site who aren't pulling a prank, but are out to set up a gruesome massacre.
Trivia random: Make-up artist, Greg Nicotero, was featured as Cyst, the mutant with the halo head-gear.

Your people asked our families to leave. So we hid in the mines, and you brought out your bombs and turned everything to ashes! You destroyed our homes and made us what we've become. Boom! Boom! Boom!::Big Brain: [Laughs]::Doug Bukowski: What's so Funny?::Big Brain: It's breakfast time!::[Suddenly Pluto breaks through the door with an axe and swings it at Doug]

Hills Have Eyes, The (1977)
Colline hanno gli occhi, Le
Regista: Wes Craven Scrittore: Wes Craven Genere: Horror, Thriller
Valutazione: 6.2/10 (3091 voti)
Durata: 89 min
Paese: USA
Lingua: English
Cast:Trama:A family going to California accidentally goes through an Air Testing range closed to the public. They crash and are stranded in a desert. They are being stalked by a group of people, which have not emerged into modern times.
Trivia random: When originally submitted to the MPAA, the film was given an X-rating which would have relegated it to the porno circuit and severely hurt the box-office returns. Wes Craven cut the film enough to secure an R rating, and the original director's cut is thought to be no longer in existence.
Citazione random: Mars: Baby's fat. You fat... fat and juicy.
