Go back and check out our review of the Last House on the Left Remake czcams.com/video/4SOnyagPpPc/video.html
Sorry if you've already answered this a bunch of times, but are you going to ever review the NOES remake?
I hate it too, but I really want to know your specific criticisms.
Fantastic videos,you all have so much chemistry.👌
If I was trapped in an RV in the desert with mutant cannibals outside, I'd like to have Crystal, Cayley, and Tony keep me company.
With a Remington, an 8th of Sour Diesel, and a case of Cheez-its White Cheddar
Don’t forget a badass dog
I'd watch that movie
Plenty of meat on them , especially tony
i think we all know who will be left behind as bait
LMAO at Crystal and Cayley’s reactions to Tony’s admission of the $100 lapdance. 😂😂😂😂
Also…agree. Love the OG Hills Have Eyes, but the remake ups the ante and is a better made film. It takes the ideas of the original and expands on it, but also benefits from having a budget and better actors - kinda like the remake of The Crazies.
Can I ask is Tony familiar with the historical urban legend that inspired this film, Scottish marauders the Sawney Bean clan who hid in caves, attacked travellers and partake on cannibalism, one person escape told of this to King James the 6th, and an crusade was taken capturing the cannibals and torturing them. Wes Craven revealed this research inspired Hills Have Eyes, how even the civilized normal people can be pushed to acts of barbaric heathenism.
I think the remake of The Crazies is actually stellar.
That's actually one of my favorite zombie type of movies. so many good scenes and tension, along with great acting
Played WAY to safe for me...
Reminded me of The Walking Dead if it was made into a movie. I loved both versions of The Crazies.
Cayley is definitely my new fav addition to the hack the movies crew. has really in depth thoughts and points on the movie reviews and definitely easy on the eyes and I think her voice is relaxing
I'm biased, I love the original better, but only cause I worked at a comic con that had Michael Berryman, and he is the nicest guy ever.
Lived in southern Utah when I saw this in the theater, and being familiar with "The Downwinders" gave this an extra element of realism (however unlikely) that made the film that much more creepy.
Read the graphic novel The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning. it's a prequel to both the first and second movies. It's really good. Very dark and violent and you feel more pity for the mutants in it and that's all I'm going to say.
Did Tony hear that during the 90's HBO were trying to make Hills Have Eyes 3, it ending up being retooled and became the 1995 HBO Horror TV movie "MindRipper/ also titled Out Post" in other teritories, it stars Lance Henriksen and Giovanna Ribisi, instead of cannibalistic hill people or mutants the monster of the film is an man whos found at the bottom of a cliff in the desert, there unaware he attempted suicide so they experimented on him to save him only for it to go horribly wrong, he's codename Thor and he's compelled drain fluids from human brains. They class the TV movie as Hills Have Eyes 3 but it isn't really. Thought I'd share that trivia.
I’ve been watching you guys now for about a week and I can’t stop watching these great videos,my mrs thinks im only watching them because of Crystal which im not but she is lovely to look at and to listen to.Great blogs guys 👌❤️👏
It's almost Tme. To. Hack. The. Movies! Talk talkin, talkin about tapes
Been loving the new eps recently... but I'm literally dying over here for the Return of the King episode. Any word on when that's gonna hit??
I know maybe it was alive episode. he said it's coming but it's going to be a little late so they can have everyone together
Crystal is magic! Thanks you for having her on.
Agreed! She can be on my channel anytime!
Even just hearing this movie talked about churns my stomach, so incredibly hard to watch, but such a well made horror.
I have 120 lb pit bull who actively opposes violence. He barks whenever someone hugs goodbye.
Only seen bits and pieces of the remake and i was very confused lol. It looks good though!
Hey Tony, Valentines Day is coming up next month and your episodes are all pre planned I assume. I would definitely like to see you with Casey and Crystal again, maybe
doing "Urban Legend (1998)" suggested in the Valentines Day episode last year. If it's the My Bloody Valentine 3D Remake I'm also ok with that!
agreed. we need another episode with dating advice
I have a playlist of my favorite videos from here and listen to them as I go to bed, my fiancée hates Tony now due to waking up in the middle of the night and hearing Hack The Movies and Tony's laugh. 😂 he asked me not to play the playlist anymore at night
You should be playing it 24/7
This was the weirdest first date movie experience I've ever had....
This was even better than the original. The make up effects were great especially the animatronic dummy that got burnt. Vinessa Shaw was still as hot as she was in Ladybugs.
I love the remake more, because I've only seen this version of The Hills Have Eyes. The opening always gets me with Webb Pierce's - More and More
Then can you say you love it "More" ??
@deontecoleman7047 Yes
12 likes for this really? the idiocracy has begun
@@steveb7932 womp womp
Can't wait to listen to this during work today! 🙌
The Hills have eyes remake is a lot like the Texas chainsaw, massacre remake, both very different styles, but good in their own way
"i knew a guy who shot his own balls off..." WTF
I don't know where you guys land on this, but the Friday the 13th remake is really good. I liked the misdirect with the first group. I liked the tunnel system
Your bird story made me choke on my coffee ☕️
Well done
Has Tony seen the infamous Hills Have Eyes Part 2, the sequel to the original released in 1985, it's not very good and Wes Craven had a horrible time making it disowning the film, it has music from the Friday the 13th composer Harry Manfredini, actor Kevin Blair who played Nick in Friday the 13th Part 7 has a role, and RoboCop 2's Willard E. Pugh who played Mayor Kuzak is in it as well, funnily there apart of the film where the dog Beast has a flashback t the first Hills Have Eyes.Doubt it's worth covering in a video, Tony may prefer the 2007 Sequel to the Remake.
Yay! Chrystal!! 😁😍
The Wrong Turn Slander is MADNESS !!!
Wow, I'm jealous Tony Yeah you had to pay for it but still You got a lap dance from Gianna Michaels how many other stories do you have?
@13:20 She was also the love interest in 'Ladybugs' starring Rodney Dangerfield.
ALEXANDRE AJA also wrote & produced the 2013 Remake of MANIAC starring ELIJAH WOODS,,,,Thats a Really Good one with ELIJAH WOODS completely surprising The HELL outta Everybody with his Demented Portrayal of FRANK ZITO who was so Brilliantly Portrayed by The Late Great JOE SPINELL in The Original 1980 HORROR Classic 😀🤘🤘
My high school sweetheart wanted to walk out of the remake, I begged her to stay. She was not happy with me that night lmao.
Sweet more crystal!!
This is probably one of my favorite remakes! It’s really good 😊
The scene-for-scene approach really brings this one down for me. Now Night of the Living Dead remake appears to be the same story, bur there're all these small differences throughout.
The term the hills have eyes refers to people living in the hills keeping eyes open for trespassers got the remake of the hills have eyes 1 and 2 first film is good the sequel not as good have seen bits of the original hills have eyes seems hard to get on dvd blu ray there are changes with the first movie cannibals in the and in the remake they were mutated people i think this movie was one of the earliest examples similar to being in dense forest cell/mobile phones lose signal on them which in reality cell/mobile coverage you will be covered unless you are out of range which is what would be the case for the family in hills have eyes love your guests both are amazing around 3 minutes The photos of mutations that play during the opening credits are not of atomic mutation, but birth defects caused by the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam.
james bonds iconic pistol is in fact a walther PPK
Always good to see a mint salad cameo even if not part of the actual video nor said anything 🤣💚
Robert Deniro's waiting..
..talking Italian.
There’s a scene in the original film where Jupiter has Bob’s corpse propped up and he is eating parts of him while yelling at him in a sort of “You think you’re better than me?!” Kind of way.
I love the remake more, i grew up on the original and the terrible sequal. Similar story to your's Tony. Didn't see it in theaters bc i was already tired of remakes. Rented it when it came out and i was impressed. I did go to see part 2 in the theaters however. Oufff..
I really enjoyed this as a 15 year old teenager who was on all kinds of drugs at the time of watching it lol
Ruby was laura Ortiz shes in alot of Adam greens stuff, shes rose in victor crowley and she's in hollister.
Every time I play Fallout 4 and encounter the mutants in the game, I'm reminded of the cannibal mutants.
So yeah, I proceed to take all of them out
I hope I don't get heat for this, but I actually like the remake of The Crazies.
I've never seen the original. I thought the remake was pretty good.
🫡 I got a salute Tony for bring up Gianna Michaels
Tony's pet bird had the same name as LL Cool J's bird in Deep Blue Sea!
Loved this movie freshman year of high school
Jordan Peele is doing The People Under the Stairs.
Hey Tony, have you guys reviewed the hills run red?
The only new info I learned from this video is that Crystal is based and a hardcore gun enthusiast. Check and check 😂
CrYsTaL iS BaSeD- shes clearly left wing besides the gun thing… youre not smart
I remember seeing the original when i was like 14, and loved it. Never gave the re-make a chance, and maaaybe i should.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAH I'm glad you mentioned giant micheals ! Lollllll I was in high school when I saw it and I was like hey! I definitely don't know her lol
Hack The Movies- Is the computer that we see around 0:16-0:20 an original Windows XP by Gateway & does it still work as far as connecting to Wi-Fi/using Google Chrome/issuing Internet Explorer/etc., for example, or, has it been upgraded to something more modern & the original stickers are still on it?...
My 2 favorite slobber heads 😈
There’s a lot that I really love about Aja’s film, Craven’s original to me is more interesting. It really drives home the juxtaposition of two really different families, both of which have their own distinct family dynamics and values. I love the original’s ending because although despite the fact that our protagonists win in the end, it’s not a happy ending. The original really hints at the “civilized “ family having lost their humanity in their effort to survive. Both are great, but for me the original hits so much harder.
you should maybe try it. underrated final girl part 2 but have even if it's just a cameo all the girls from your show pick at least one
Gianna Michaels is your fav Tony? Is it 2008? Lmao kidding kidding 😂❤
He seems like he would b an Angela White fan now...
craters are the nuke test site no?
Can you please please please do piranha 3d and the 1978?
Have you guys ever seen the movie House? The japenese movie was from 1977, not the 80s American movie. It'd be cool to see you guys talk about that one.
Whenever I see TED LEVINE in any Movie i always only see him as his Character General "BLOODBATH" MCGRATH from WILL SMITH'S "WILD WILD WEST" Movie
Cayley is great have her on again
Great episode love the crew. Glad to see the female guest stars back in Hack the Movies, but what about boys month?
The new Black Christmas is Crystal's Ghostbusters Afterlife
I think caley is 100% right with a child actors. you can imagine they get what like 6 hours a day. they can actually work when you subtract out their school time and lunches and whatever. if they had to sit in the chair for makeup for five of those hours, it wouldn't work. so that's why they have more digital touch-ups
Cayley is so damn beautiful
The Gianna Michaels story 😂😂
All that build up for $100 ?? Angela White charges 250
Tony is so brave
Cayley definitely the best, she is so beautiful.
Not 5 minutes in and can tell this will be fun. And everyone enjoyed seeing the "Even Stevens" scene in Mirrors 2. 😂
Also The Hills Have Eyes original and remake are damn good!
Great video! Keep it up, Tony. And no more m I nt salad thank you😅
what mirrors 2 scene? can someone give me a timestamp?
Christy Carlson from Even Stevens has a full frontal nude and lengthy shower scene.
I'm guessing the Chrity Carlson Romano Shower scene...
why? i've seen better and gorier kill scenes
I really like this one it been so long seen 70s in so long.
Really? Christy Carlson Romano, Ren Steven's from Even Stevens?!
Yes finally f13 remake review!!! Shocked crystal didn’t like it. It’s my favourite of the series
Crystal likes guns? Awesome. Looks like in terms of manliness it's Joey C., then Crystal, then Tony.
Tony when you going to bring back mommy cop ??? I'm like half way through and I honestly love need more please
What is on Cayley's shirt? It looks familiar. The Holy Mountain?
Bingo

Made with HARPA AI
Awesome epi
I actually saw the remake in the theater before the original off Netflix, and literally the only thing I enjoyed in it (legit CHEERED at) so it would be all that I would want to see again if it was on TV, was Beast. When I saw the original and its sequel, though, I actually enjoyed everything AROUND Beast, who was still the BEST part, especially his reintroduction in Part 2. The way the heroes and the villains are, the grainy realness, the natural energy and charm, and of course Ruby's story. They made me WANT to watch them so much that I had to OWN them, even though Beast is still my main reason for watching;) It was the same with the original and remake of 'The Last House on the Left'...
I feel the remake is the better horror film imo.
Tony I beg you do the Christopher Nolan Batman series please.
I know what scene you are talking about for Mirrors 2 😏
Oh yeah 😁
Lap damce usually $10-20
Tony meets a fan and hes the one that ask them to take a picute lmfao
Yes Tony James Bond had Walter PPK
Thank you!
Crystal needs a headset with an attached microphone. :)
Loved this movie and the sequel. I watched the original last year and didn’t really like it
Tony are you a fan of the shower scene from mirrors 2?
It's the only scene I have seen!
