This week we cover “The Hills Have Eyes” which was written and directed by Wes Craven. IMDB stated that “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.”

“The Hills Have Eyes” stars John Steadman, Janus Blythe, Peter Locke, Russ Grieve, Dee Wallace, Susan Lanier, Brenda Marinoff, Robert Houston, Martin Speer, James Whitworth, Michael Berryman, Lance Gordon and Cordy Clark. Enjoy the trailer, interviews and reviews below!

    I love the original version of The Hills Have Eyes, especially Dee Wallace’s performance. She’s one of my favorite actresses, especially after I read her autobiography, Bright Light.
    Honestly, I haven’t seen a modern horror movie that stands up to classics like The Hills Have Eyes. It’s so good.
