Critics Consensus

Faster paced for today's audiences, this Hills remake ratchets up the gore for the hardcore horror fans, but will turn away casual audiences.

Brian Tallerico UGO Like Craven's original, Aja's version gets the job done - it makes your stomach turn, puts you on edge, and gives you a horror-movie ride. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper It's just nasty. Mar 20, 2006 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying. Rated: C+ Mar 20, 2006 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof A good movie that never aims to achieve perfection. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) For such a dark, gritty, ferocious film, the big, melodramatic finish betrays its creepy, low-budget aesthetic. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Aja's film is partly a critique of nuclear war, partly a horror fable about the divide between Americans and the violence it inevitably causes. Rated: 4.5/5 May 1, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Steven D A classic horror remake done right! Truly disturbing movie that ramps up the gore and tension. My only issue is the ending didn't need the extra characters. They are a bit ridiculous and uninteresting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Paul S It was incredibly thrilling and suspenseful, and it was really fun to watch. I definitely recommend it for horror and thriller fans! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Daniel N Creepy, gross, disturbing but still entertaining. Could definitely use a remake but has withstood the test of time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review James B Absolutely amazing in every aspect the remake of Wes Craven's classic proves that remakes aren't always atrocious. The hills have eyes ramps up the gore and the characters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review B K Fun predictable horror. Juicy gory bits and it keeps one guessing as to who is going to make it out alive. The early scenes have a heavy threat level, but once the blood starts flowing, it is a simple but effective hatchet roller-coaster ride. The only question is, why did they leave the main road in the first instance ….. no one on planet earth would do it in the real world! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Movie C Super Family Friendly! Watched this with my girls and they absolutely ADORED it! I recommend for family movie nights, get that popcorn ready ladies! An amazing heartwarming coming-of-age film both the kids and teens will enjoy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
