The Hills Have Eyes

I wouldn't have thought there was anything that needed cutting at 10pm on Channel 4, but then they showed the Straw Dogs last week and I could have sworn part of the rape scene was missing.
 
Finally got around to seeing this remake.

Excellent remake,probably the best of the endless horror remakes this decade,next to Dawn of the Dead 2004.
It has all the predictable cliches and far from original,but it's a very well made gorefest horror movie.
 
I think it's technically 'uncut' by the BBFC, but I believe the filmmakers had to submit a version with certain changes in it otherwise they weren't going to pass it. You can see the history of it on their website, they rejected several versions before finally passing it.
 
I can assure you Straw Dogs is infact uncut on the 2 disc special Edition DVD. I realise thats now out of print to make way for a more cheaper, consumer friendly bargain priced dvd. There are many features on there dealing with the rape scene and problems they had and also the celebration of the fact that its now been released uncut. Not to mention on the special edition it had uncut written all over it.
 
I thought that the Hills Have Eyes re-make was fantastic. It's one hell of a roller coaster ride that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The original was dire (in my opinion).
Big Emille de Ravin fan, so have her to thank for influencing my decision to watch this film :p
 
Thats very kind of you Cooler, thanks but I windged to my sister about missing it and so her boyfrienRAB lent me his copy to watch over the weekend.

But thanks again for the offer. :D
