The Hills Have Eyes1977

Head and Shoulders over Wes Craven’s first feature. This film has actual effort put into it. It still feels long despite only being 90 minutes, but a lot of movies from this time are like that. Where I wouldn’t recommend The Last House on the Left to anyone, I would recommend this to just about any horror lover. This is the kind of interesting and influential flick that I would expect to be one of Wes Craven’s first films.  Rough around the edges for sure, but no more than a lot of other 70s horror. The setting is interesting and there’s even some subtext to be found (crazy). I’m not going to be throwing this on all the time but I could see myself watching it at least once a year.
