In
the annals of modern fear, few films have had as deep an impact
as Wes Craven’s 1977 cult classic The Hills Have
Eyes. The landmark tale, reinterpreted in 2005 by sizzling hot “Splat
Pack” filmmakers Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, delighted
and terrified a new generation of fans with its blood-soaked,
horrifying update. In addition to box-office success, kudos came
from the critics with The San Francisco Chronicle corroborating, “If
studios insist on remaking classis horror films, this is definitely
the way to do it… The Hills Have Eyes is a BLAST!”
Thus, with the public demanding more, film legend Wes Craven
teamed up with his son Jonathan to bring us THE HILLS HAVE EYES
2. The pair wrote a gritty, ferocious, and relentlessly suspenseful
tale of a very green National Guard unit which unwittingly ends
up in mutant territory where their nastiest nightmares come terrifyingly
true. The film is directed by cutting-edge filmmaker Martin Weisz,
whose resent film Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story has both won
acclaim and stirred up controversy for its graphic depiction
of modern day cannibalism. Thus, the combined talents of Wes
Craven and Martin Weisz create the ultimate horror experience
not to be missed, and never to be forgotten.

AN
INTRODUCTION TO THE TALENT BEHIND THE FILM
In a career spanning more than three decades, Wes Craven has become a worldwide
cultural phenomenon in film, television and literature. He reinvented the youth
horror genre in 1984 with the classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, which he wrote
and directed, and in the next decade, he deconstructed the genre again with the
megasuccessful Scream trilogy.
