Hills Have Eyes, The
Michael PhillipsThe reasons the Motion Picture Assn. of America can't be trusted keep piling up like festering, bullet-riddled corpses, which happen to be among the MPAA's favorite things. The rating board gets all twisted up about sex and skin, yet it cannot give you or your kids enough ax blades to the cranium.
This week's evidence: the remake of the old Wes Craven horror item The Hills Have Eyes, which should not be rated R. It should be rated NC-17, or ITTS-OW, which stands for Is This Thing Sadistic, Or What?

Hills Have Eyes, The
An urban family taking a shortcut in the desert is preyed upon by a group of vicious cannibals in this remake of the Wes Craven classic. Directed by Alexandre 'Switchblade Romance' Aja
How much can you re-invent a film like The Hills Have Eyes?

Just look at modern films like Wrong Turn and Roadkill, or even Switchblade Romance, the 2003 French film created by Alexandre Aja and Gr??gory Levasseur.
After Craven and his producing partner Marianne Maddalena saw Switchblade Ro...
