Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Michael_Elliott Hillside Cannibals (2006)* 1/2 (out of 4)The Asylum's rip-off of THE HILLS HAVE EYES has five friends going into the desert only to quickly have three of them dead. The cannibals take a fourth victim and it's up to his girlfriend (Heather Conforto) to go back into the hills and try to save him. I'm not sure if The Asylum had their reputation in place back when this film was originally released but viewing it today one will more than likely already know about the company and the type of movies they release. This one here isn't nearly the worst thing they've done but it's also very clear that it's a pretty bad movie that only has a couple things going for it. I think the biggest problem is the horrible cannibals. There's not a single frame where you actually believe you're looking at some mountain cannibals who have been around for ages living off the land and people who enter their land. Their cave pretty much has nothing except for fake looking skulls and bones lying around. Was this meant to scare of? The cannibals also talk some stupid language and it's clear that it's never meant to make any sort of sense. There's also elements of the film that rips Craven's version including the young family member who at first goes against their families wishes. The performances in the film really aren't anything to write home about and especially those playing the cannibals but I think the majority of the problem falls on the director for not giving them some better range to act in. The only thing that really keeps the film moving along is the fact that it does contain some pretty violent and gory scenes. As a horror fan I really hate watching bad movies like this one and there not being any gore so at least they gave us that. I also like the way the film ended but most people probably won't get to see it as they'll have already turned the picture off.

CherryPie2308 right this must act as a warning stay away from this garbage film, I'm already miffed that i got suckered in and actually paid for the DVD. This tedious garbage seems to be utterly devoid of plot, all you get is some kids (of which it is impossible to care about devoid of personality as they are) go to the dessert get eaten by cannonballs who enjoy incest, thats it the plot save you watching this utter utter tripe. The only thing that is mildly decent about this is the effects are OK which hints at either a really good effects team or this film was funded far more money than it deserves. Terrible STAY AWAY. Seriously terrible not even in the so bad its good category

Jess-Dellen This is just a comment to the guy who flipped out and cried libel to this film: it says on the box that it's a rehash of the story that inspired The Hills Have Eyes. No libel there--the box says what it is; it's a movie about the inbred family that ate people in caves... the same family who inspired both Hills Have Eyes films. I just wanted to clear that up for everyone. I haven't seen this movie YET. I am going to rent it eventually because I think it looks like fun. I dig horror movies that a lot of people view as shoddy and uninspired. By the by, I was QUITE impressed with the remake of the Hills Have Eyes. I think the boys who did High Tension did a magnificent job with it. I've got to admit, though, that the animal violence made me cry not once, but twice. So, again: this movie isn't libel or a ripoff: it's another take on an actual story. Amazing how the same psychopaths can inspire more than one movie, isn't it?

doomsyer Man, oh man.....what a joke of a movie. Was this supposed to be taken seriously (well, as serious as a movie about cannibalism can be taken)? The gore was there, but done by what I would believe to be the bottom tier of the SFX profession. The acting blew....Z list actors and actresses reading cue cards.The "cannibals" looked like (to steal from another poster) rejects from Gilligans Island. White frat guys and sorority girls, dressed in grass skirts and rolled in dirt. This is the "horrible cannibalistic family". Ooooooooooooooooh, scary. They live in a cave in the desert and play with dolls. Oh, THE TERROR!!! They talk in their own language, which goes something like this, "ooga booga", "ugh", "woomba", "blah blah blah". The Chills are running up my spine! Yet, another turd in the toilet bowl from Asylum.....3 out of 10, and that is being generous due to the laugh-ability factor.
