Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, the guys behind Frnech thriller "High Tension" are remaking the 1977 cult classic "The Hills Have Eyes" that's best remembered as the second film of the then budding Wes Craven. Aja will direct for Dimension Films, with Craven producing and the shoot set to begin next month. Today IGN Filmforce has an early script review, here's an excerpt:
"I was surprised at how engrossed I became in this script. I expected very little from it but, like the recent remake of Dawn of the Dead, I found The Hills creepy and thrilling enough to recommend (even to non-horror fans). The story works because, despite its preposterous villains and rather contrived premise, the family of protagonists are so average and identifiable.
While the Carters may be thinly drawn, I understood what they represent - Civilization vs. Savagery - and cared what happened to them. Doug, a modern urbanite faced with physical (and sometimes even mechanical) challenges that he is unprepared for, is the character the audience is supposed to identify with most. His downward trajectory mirrors the deformed and depraved state of the villains he must destroy..."
