What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper 03/20/2006
It's just nasty. Go to Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness 03/20/2006

What's fundamentally missing is the anarchic, irrational unpredictability that made the original so terrifying. Go to Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times Oct 2
4/5
Yet while the killers' casualness is deeply disturbing, it's the ordinary family's shocking survival tactics that give the movie its lingering impact. Go to Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof 02/12/2020
A good movie that never aims to achieve perfection. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mattie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) 06/05/2019
2.5/4
For such a dark, gritty, ferocious film, the big, melodramatic finish betrays its creepy, low-budget aesthetic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Aaron S. @Aaron0309 17m I think the original The Hills Have Eyes hasn’t aged well, but the 2006 remake The Hills Have Eyes improves on it in every way. It’s more brutal, has solid acting, and keeps the tension high. This is one remake that’s genuinely better than the original. See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored 6d A very brutal and wild horror remake! Definitely one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen! See more Priceless S @coolkitty425 Jan 5 1/4/26 Currently watched this movie after years of temptation ..Lets just say its one of a kind. First starters, The part where the woman was (graped) in front of the family by the mutant was very disturbing .. cringe asf.. this movie even though old had me crying its such a sad twisted gore movie honestly idk how there's a part two ... See more Koy @PlayingKoy Dec 11 You need to go into this movie knowing what you're getting: nothing insane in terms of dramatic storytelling and no deep analysis of the world as we know it. The first half also drags and does not always succeed at building tension. However, the second half is batshit crazy in the best way when it comes to horror. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 28 This was a great remake. It upped everything to fit the 21st century standards which was great. Again, don't watch the second remake. See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Oct 24 A completely unnecessary remake that adds nothing really new to the original story.......a story mind you that wasn't really that interesting in the first place.
