The Hills Have Eyes

Tonight I saw the remake of the movie "The Hills Have Eyes" with a long-lost friend. We both agreed that it did not do us die-hard horror fans any justice, since it was extremely predictable and the movie used some cheesy cliches where it could have been so much more original. However, my friend pointed out that the copious amounts of gore, blood, and cool make-up effects (those mutants were really freaky!) made up for some of the cheesiness. I think the original movie was better for its time.

So many remakes have the potential to be so much better, especially with all the new technology that was not around when the first films came out. So far one of the only remakes I've seen that I liked was the one with Ryan Reynolds, where he and family moves into the haunted house and he goes crazy. I forget what it's called. If someone knows what I am talking about, let me know! I hated the original.

The new House of Wax sucked. And the new Texas Chainsaw Masacre did not hold a candle to the original.

Anyway, I also want to add that I want you all to forget about the goodness I once thought of that oil of olay moisturizer I wrote about in an earlier post. It is making my skin break out! Do you know how LONG it took me to get clear skin? A LONG ASS TIME. This stuff is going right into the garbage.
