Synopsis:
Regarded by many horror fans as his best work to date, Wes Craven`s second genre feature (after The Last House On The Left), The Hills Have Eyes is an acknowledged classic of shock cinema. Recently retired from the Cleveland police force, Big Bob Carter decides to head off in his motor-home for a Californian vacation with his wife, Ethel, their son and two daughters, son-in-law, infant grandchild and their two dogs.

En route they decide to make a detour to find an abandoned silver mine in the Nevada desert bequeathed to Bob and Ethel by a late aunt as a silver wedding anniversary present.Unknown to them, the area is also home to a family of primitive, cannibalistic scavengers who have been watching the travellers. The horror begins when opportunistic theft turns to rape, murder and kidnap, and the unscrupulous savages unleash a brutal onslaught of terror upon the helpless family...
