![]() ![]() That said, historians are not confident that Bean's family ever actually existed, so despite "The Hills Have Eyes" garnering that coveted "based on a true story" status, this may all just be an interesting legend passed down over time. Legs, arms, thighs, hands and feet of men, women and children were hung up in rows, like dried beef.Ī great many limbs lay in pickle, and a great mass of money, both gold and silver, with watches, rings, swords, pistols, and a large quantity of clothes, both linen and woollen, and an infinite number of other things, which they had taken from those whom they had murdered, were thrown together in heaps, or hung up against the sides of the den.įrom there, the family was taken into custody by the monarchy and executed for their crimes against humanity. Now the whole body, or as many of them as could, went in, and were all so shocked at what they beheld that they were almost ready to sink into the earth. The monarch led a group of 400 men, according to the book, to the caves, where they found horrors beyond their comprehension. ![]() It's a vision of how quickly and easily people can turn. Almost no one is spared, not even the dogs. ![]() Such a dreadful spectacle made the man make the more obstinate resistance, as expecting the same fate if he fell into their hands. The original The Hills Have Eyes is absolutely iconic for how graphic and unsettling it is. Though eclipsed by other big studio films including Smokey and the Bandit, it ultimately grossed more than the expensive Dino De Laurentiis Jaws rip-off Orca, which was released on the same day. A family vacation takes a bloody detour thanks to cannibalistic mutants in this unrelenting remake of Wes Cravens 1977 cult horror film. This done, they ripped up her belly and pulled out all her entrails. The Hills Have Eyes was a surprise hit with audiences when it opened in the summer of 1977. The female cannibals cut her throat and fell to sucking her blood with as great a gust as if it had been wine.

A phrase coined by environmentalist when they try to persuade children not to dump litter on their hilly nature reserve. According to Alexander Smith's 1719 book " A Complete History of the Lives and Robberies of the Most Notorious Highwaymen," a man and his wife were attacked by the family during a journey on horseback. It is alleged that the family murdered and ate upwards of a thousand human beings over the years without ever visiting any neighboring villages.Īt one point, one of the family's victims escaped and lived - which prompted the King to send troops to find the cannibalistic group. They would capture people by night and dismember their victims in the cave, before pickling, salting and eating the body parts. The clan, much like the families featured in the films, would make meals out of clueless travelers who unfortunately came across their hunting grounds. This is only one of many bad ideas made by the California-bound vacationers (the first is to take the "shortcut" directions down an unpaved road).The exact number of children and grandchildren the pair raised in the cave is unknown, but over the 25 years they called it home, it is believed they raised and cohabitated with nearly 50 family members. He's so scared that when he makes his way back to the broken down trailer where the rest of the family awaits a never-coming rescue, he doesn't tell them what he found, concerned he might scare them. First, they kill one of the Carters' two German shepherds, leaving it for young Bobby to find. Their faces are doughy and misshapen, bodies bent and filthy, and snaggly-sharp teeth perfect for ripping flesh from bones. In the hills, a family of mutants watches the Carters, until it's time to strike. In one corner of the New Mexico desert traipse the Carters, including retired cop Big Bob (Ted Levine), his churchy wife Ethel (Kathleen Quinlan) and their mostly grown kids, new mom Lynn (Vinessa Shaw) and her liberal-leaning husband Doug (Aaron Stanford), adolescent Bobby (Dan Byrd), and slightly younger Brenda (Emilie de Ravin). Gruesome and then some, the new HILLS HAVE EYES again pits two families against one another. ![]()
