What happens

The Hills Have Eyes is a 2006 American horror film directed by Alexandre Aja and co-written by Aja and Grégory Levasseur, in their English-language debut. It is a remake of Wes Craven's 1977 film of the same name. The film stars Aaron Stanford, Kathleen Quinlan, Vinessa Shaw, Emilie de Ravin, Dan Byrd, Robert Joy, and Ted Levine, and follows a family that is targeted by a group of cannibalistic mutants after their car breaks down in the desert. The Hills Have Eyes was released theatrically in the United States and United Kingdom on March 10, 2006. It earned $15.5 million in its opening weekend in the United States, where it was originally rated NC-17 for strong, gruesome violence, but was later edited down to achieve an R rating. An unrated DVD version was released on June 20, 2006. A sequel, The Hills Have Eyes 2, was released in 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
