I knew from the beginning, when I first heard about 'Grindhouse', that I had to see it, then I heard that -here in Belgium- they would release 'Death Proof' and 'Planet Terror' as two separate movies, which I thought was stupid, but anyway... As the release date came closer I wasn't so sure anymore. You see, I've never had a big thing for cars so let alone a movie about a car, killer or not.

I went to see it anyway thinking I would regret not seeing it on the big screen and I was right, I loved this movie, I really did. Everything about it is different, it's something we haven't seen in a while. Keep an open mind and you'll love this movie too.

The music, the script, the actors, everything, great. I have to say my favorite part has to be the part with the second group of girls, especially the car chase and when the tables turn...

I didn't even notice the movie's almost 2 hours, but I guess this is the kind of movie you either love or hate.

It was funny, different, thrilling, action-filled at times and just kicking ass.

This has to be one of my favorite movies in the last 18 months (I go to the movies at least 1-2 a week + renting movies) it's totally up there in the top 5.

It just blew me away, from the first minutes till the end. It's not a very happy movie, I'll warn you about that, if you're looking for a feel good movie, keep walking. But if you're looking for a very good movie that actually requires us to use our brain, this movie is the one you're looking for.

It's fast-paced, you have to stay focused and be ready to see some amount of violence but not in a horror movie kind of way but more in a war setting which to me is harder to see. This movie really stuck with me because of well...everything about it. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD, because even though I don't like movies that kinda put you down at some points and don't have the happiest ending I absolutely loved this movie! There should be more movies like this, smart movies, that make you think but not fall asleep :) See it.

I rented this movie hoping for a good nice thriller, boy was I wrong. This movie makes no sense, doesn't really have a story and is just plain boring, I kept hoping for a nice twist in the plot or at least a surprise ending but no, sure Leslie dies in the end but I just didn't care.

I have to admit the part I liked best and I thought was so funny is when she goes into the pantry and finds curry and says: "But you didn't like curry" and then there's this violin that strikes up as if she had just found bodies in the basement.

To sum up, a strange, boring movie, I had high hopes but don't waste your time on it, it felt awkward and at times I felt more like I was reading the script rather than watching it being played out.

I saw this movie months and months ago so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, but I do remember being bored. When I walked into the theater and got my ticket I was expecting a fun, clever thriller, I got a boring sex-thriller-film that was supposed to make Stone a big Hollywood star again. Sure she looks good (who wouldn't after all that work she had done, she's 40 going on 20...impossible) even still she annoyed me.

A lot of money and hard work has been put into this movie and for that I give this movie a 3 and that's nice of me. The story just didn't grasp my attention, if during the whole movie all I could think of was, "no way in hell she looks like that without help" and "what is that 12-year old doing watching this movie" and I don't think that was the point of the movie.

Don't waste your time or money, but if you really want to see it, watch it when it comes on TV, because it's not worth the rental.

I have to start by saying, I didn't see this movie at the movies just because of what I had read here on IMDb. People were saying how awful some of the scenes were, that they got sick, even saying that this movie was sicker than 'I Spit on Your Grave' and 'Last House on the Left', I didn't see all of 'I Spit...' but I did see 'Last House...' and let me tell you I felt awful after seeing that movie, borderline physically sick.

Now back to 'The Hills...' sure this movie had some kick-ass pure gore scenes, the bad guys were truly evil and very well done, but at no point in the movie did I feel sick or even bad like I had felt during 'Last House...' not that I was hoping to get sick or anything. Don't get me wrong, this movie was really well done and I enjoyed it a lot, I was even surprised at some points, especially during the trailer attack, I did not see the Lynne thing coming, or the Ethel thing, most movie makers aren't that "evil" towards nice mothers, but it worked well in the movie. It made Doug become this revenge-killing machine.

I really liked this movie and all but it didn't scare me at all, sure I did go "ouch" at some points, mostly during the whole revenge part of the movie but then again, they had it coming. The characters have to face terrifying things and "people" and you really do feel for them, but this movie doesn't really keep you at the edge of your seat, waiting to know if there is or isn't someone behind that rock. Apart from that thumbs up for 'The Hills Have Eyes'

The one scene where I did get a little restless was when Big Bob had his...well lets call it 'hot scene' (so it's not too big of a spoiler) and Brenda was left in the trailer in a very bad situation, all I could think of was, forget Bob he's toast, get your asses back to the freakin trailer.

I guess my point is: good movie, great special effects, I saw the making of and really kudos to all those guys and girls that worked on the movie because it really really looked great in a kind of gory way but still everything looked so real. If you're easily shocked or creeped out you might want to stay away from this movie, but for all the other basket cases like me, enjoy!

Well I had hopes for this movie, the whole urban legend idea seemed good (eventough it's a remake) but sadly it wasn't what I had hoped for. I'm not one for dissing a movie because a lot of work and effort has been put into it by many people, but then again I feel I need to share this :p The whole -we're going to scare you in a minute so watch out- thing can only work a couple of times, not the whole movie, I didn't jump up my seat even once *dissapointment*. And then showing that it's only the nanny or only the cat or only the friend and so on, you can use that maybe once but not all the time.... I know that everyone that saw the movie knew Rosa wouldn't make it and that blonde girl well once they showed the "scary moving trees" well it was a done deal, she was a goner. The good thing was that it was pretty clear, the story made sense enough, no huge plot holes or anything so that was good, but really not that scary...:( I guess I'll always be a sucker for the -lets go to the abandoned cabin far away in the woods where exactly 20 years ago a bunch of kids were murdered and the guy was never caught- type of movie lol at least you can laugh. This movie wasn't funny-bad or terrible-bad it was just one in the bunch. It had potential...too bad. Decent rental thought so I'll give it a 5/10
