In search of some pseudo-spring-break fun, a group of us went to see "The Hills Have Eyes" this past weekend. Could that movie be any more disturbing? I mean, really, it pretty much bypassed "scary" and went straight on to "f'ed up." Here's the run-down:
1 crucifixion/burning at stake
1 parakeet head bitten off
1 gun pointed at a baby
1 dog limb ripped off and eaten
1 very "meta" soliloquy by a guy with a tumor the size of Dick Cheney
2 rapes
4 axe blows to the head
7 creepy back-woods mutant cannibals
...and of course...
2 hours of my life I will never get back.
Anyone looking for a good scare, skip the theater and pick up a copy of "28 Days Later". You'll thank me later.

Well, I like fucked up movies, too, but this is just...well, it's just not even well-made. I was craving a good, disturbing movie, and instead left the theater saying, "Whu?" Aja could've done a few things to make the story more concrete and believable, but he totally skipped those in favor of trite political commentary.
I like 28 days later... I want to shoot zombies.
