The film premiere received rave reviews, and a word-of-mouth marketing campaign was launched by the cast and Warner Bros. that very evening.
Early the next day, from print media to internet sites, there was a chorus of praise for "The Hills Have Eyes."
"After 'Scream,' 'The Hills Have Eyes' is Wes Craven's best horror film!"
It's a pity it's not a series; otherwise, it would have been hailed as the best in the series time and again under the influence of Martin.
In this regard, only Craven could be the talking point.
Variety, Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood Reporter, and Los Angeles Times, among others, all offered positive acclaims.
The Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating opened the day after the premiere, soaring to 78% fresh.
On the MTC website, the average score given by media professionals was 68.
This is a horror movie!
The media reviews may not be explosive, but they're certainly above average.
