Second Comings: The Hills Have Eyes

by Alejandra Gonzalez

When I think about the inspiration behind this column, I remember that the whole reason I wanted to look at horror remakes in the first place was to try to eliminate the popular notion that remakes are doomed to fail and be horrible. Because the remakes we’ve looked at so far have either shown to be extreme disappointments or proven that a remake can only be as good as its original, I wanted to look somewhere new for a retelling that surpassed those expectations and could be argued to be superior to its initial version. That’s when I looked to Alexandre Aja’s 2006 remake of Wes Craven’s classic: The Hills Have Eyes. If you know me, you know that I rarely ever tolerate Craven slander, but I found that it was a little difficult to get through his 1977 original upon re-visiting. I was afraid the same would apply to Aja’s remake (which was produced by Craven himself), but what I found was only the most pleasant of surprises.
