SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Leofwine_draca Although the title and box cover openly copies THE HILLS HAVE EYES, THE HILLS RUN RED is much more of a traditional slasher flick with a masked weirdo in the woods dispatching numerous nubile victims. There's a little more plotting to it than that, involving a mystical old slasher flick from the 1980s that our protagonists are searching for, but it all boils down to a familiar, overworked storyline.Sad to say, it's not very good either. The execution is shoddy, with a dirt cheap look and unworkable editing. The most surprising thing for me is that David Schow, a respected horror author, had a hand in writing this thing - his talent must have deserted him for this one. THE HILLS RUN RED is an entirely derivative work, with poor effects, CGI augmentation, and needlessly nasty kills and torture scenes. The characters are as wooden as the trees surrounding them.Poor old William Sadler (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) makes a crucial appearance in this mess of a film, and it's sad to see that his fortunes have sunk so low. Also present is ROME's Alex Wyndham, playing another of his patented weaselly type characters, so if like me you were disappointed that he didn't get his overdue comeuppance in ROME then you can enjoy seeing it here.

subxerogravity An overzealous film student wants to make a documentary about the iconic status of a slasher film made in 1982 but never released due to it's violent content, and when he finds one of the actresses from the original movie, his documentary takes an interesting twist.Usually with movies like this, the filmmakers say they're paying homage to something, but they are just making a parody. The hills Run Red seem to know the difference.I loved how the movie tackles all of the slasher cliché's like going into the woods alone with no protection and no way to the outside world. It takes a little jab at the die hard audience who love this genre as well. Also loved the concept of the new slasher they came up with, Baby face. Everything about him screamed icon.It's very Texas Chainsaw in it's craziest, and it has a lot of real decent twist and turns that keep you guessing to the last frame without being too jumbled up with sub stories.Plus, it has nudity. It's a crazy movie to sit though, but well worth it.

dragongard_72 I started watching the movie, having no idea what it was about. I was pleasantly surprised. It had a really well written story-line and plot. Easily re-watchable and it'd actually make more sense the second time watching. For a B-grade horror film it certainly delivered. It had gore, suspense, great plot, all the characteristics needed for a great horror film.I was expecting a terrible movie, which sub-par acting, but even for a cast list I had never heard of before (except Sophie Monk) it was a truly great movie.

FlashCallahan Tyler is obsessed by the horror movie "The Hills Run Red", considered by those that had seen it the scariest movie ever made, with the deranged serial-killer Babyface in the lead role.However, the director and the movie vanished many years ago and there is no available print.His research is affecting his relationship with his girlfriend Serina that is needy and feels neglected. When Tyler discovers that te directors daughter Alexa works in a night-club, he decides to meet her and asks about the missing movie.The woman tells that the movie might be in her father's house in the middle of the woods, and Tyler decides to travel to the spot with Alexa, Serina and their friend Lalo.Along their journey, Tyler films and interviews some locals.During the night, they are attacked by the rednecks, but they are saved by Babyface.......It's a great movie for film geeks and horror buffs all around, because not only is it about the holy grail of cinema, the banned film with only one existing print, it's also a very good horror movie, and a sly poke at the gore-nography sub genre culture.The film starts off very well, we see the very genuine fake trailer for the titular film, and at once, this makes the audience intrigued as much as the chatachters, which is very rare these days for a horror film, and has not been evident in horror since the first scream movie.babyface is so so, but the film isn't about him thankfully, it's about the Herzog inspired director played brilliantly by Sadler. The ending lets it down ever so slightly, but it's a fresh welcome horror movie that is original.
