Viewing Notes

Due to all the Wes Craven chatter on Twitter (ex. “what’s his best film?”), I decided I needed to revisit The Hills Have Eyes (1977), a film a barely remember from my childhood. Actually I recalled so little of it I don’t even count this as a rewatch. In fact, Michael Berryman is the only thing I do remember. Glad to see this as it really is a terrific horror film and definitely up there as Craven’s better work.
