I' ve been wanting to watch that movie, The Hills Have Eyes, as I' ve seen it at the local Wal-Mart several times in passing. Can you give me a little description as to the plot of the movie?

Both of these are directed by Wes Craven...I always have loved his movies.

The Hills Have Eyes

When their camper breaks down in the desert on their way to California, a desperate family struggles to survive the attacks of a bizarre cannibalistic family, hungry for fresh meat and determined to terrorize the innocent vacationers. As members of the Carter clan fall prey to these inbred marauders, only a son and daughter remain to rescue their kidnapped infant and seek vengeance against the savages who have destroyed their family.

On an innocent outing, an all-American family runs into car trouble. Suddenly, they are hunted by a cannibalistic family, hungry for fresh meat. The families pitch war against one another in a desperate struggle for survival.


There is also a " The Hills Have Eyes 2" , and here' s it' s decription:

Crazed mutants with an insatiable thirst for human blood attack a group of youngsters walking along a lonely desert road in the dead of night. Everyone is killed except a man and a blind girl who are left to face the terror alone. This sequel to the beloved cannibal film is directed by famed horror auteur Wes Craven (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET), with a score by Henry Manfredini (FRIDAY THE 13TH).
