    I'll cut this one some slack for trying to be more than just another slasher film (though that is what it is at the end). The story includes ideas of about the reflexivity of horror films and film itself, which while interesting isn't used enough to really carry the film. A str...( read more)onger lead actor might have helped sell it, as well as a less model-esque lead female (though Sophie Monk certainly gives it her all in an almost unplayable role). I must say, the one moment in the film that gave me any chills at all didn't come with gore or vulgarity, but just simply a surprising moment of dialogue. That moment alone earned the film half a star in my opinion - totally didn't see it coming.

    An impressive and likeable newgen slasher marred slightly by an unimpressive ending. This doesnt ruin the overall enjoyment fortunately but it does lose half a star. I also enjoyed the little in-jokes scattered throughout the film like the fact that there is already a Western cal...( read more)led The Hills Run Red and the sly poke at torture-porn movies.
    Overall it's sure to please the indiscriminate slice-and-dice-em crowd.

    ok horror with decent acting and strong blood and guts.But the main problem is that we have seen it all before and better too.Production standards are high and given that its a STV fave.
    Watchable for a friday nite with beer and take out.....

    "The Hills Run Red" is bloody, brutal, violent, intense horror with a solid story, good acting, confident execution and some surprises.

    a bit corny, unrealistic and predictable, it's something we all have seen before..it started out ok but after the so called twist, it just got worse..I have to admit that the villain is pretty cool, but other than that, this horrormovie did not impress me..I really like William S...( read more)adler and I think his too good for this movie...

    One word for the movie.....CRAP. Three words for the stars.....Monk Can't Act. Do NOT bother with this shitous movie.

    This straight-to-DVD horror film is familiar as Friday the 13th meets Australia's Cut. I couldn't stand and watch at the beginning of the introduction of creep Babyface only because it was awfully strong gore. I see Aussie Sophie Monk and her co-star Janet Montgomer...( read more)y get naked in the first 10 minutes and the gore is plentiful.

    Terror com uma boa premissa, adorei o lance dos jovens buscando por um lendário e antigo filme de horror banido pela extrema violência. Também gostei do assassino Babyface, tem um visual interessante e marcante, é sinistro. As cenas realistas de morte mostradas no velho filme são...( read more) muito boas, mas outras tem efeitos digitais podres (uma praga que assola os novos filmes de horror, sangue digital é uó!). Até certo momento o filme é bom, diferente e intrigante, mas se perde em meio a absurdos e alguns lances que beiram o cômico na parte final onde as reviravoltas são ridículas, transbordam clichês e bobagens que estragam o filme e decepcionam. Peninha, podia ter sido tão bom.
    Nota 5,5

    Another horror film that's been hyped up beyond belief. And yet again is a total let down when I finally get to watch it. This has nothing new to add to the slasher genre. The plot is dull; the twists are predictable right from the beginning. Cliché' moments throughout with spook...( read more)y china dolls and children's Nursery rhymes. A deformed killer with complete with mask and mummy issues. That's not to say that it is all bad? I did still somewhat enjoy it. The acting is above par for a horror flick. William Sadler and Sophie Monk stand out in particular. Also there are some nice gore and unsettling moments of torture. But all in all I have seen much better attempts at 80's slasher homage's.
