Pluto is portrayed by horror icon Michael Berryman, a good actor using his congenital deformation to play a monster.....The feral family of cannibals have long since been eclipsed in subsequent gross 'n' nasty movies....The Hills Have Eyes worked in 1977 because it exploited cruder fears and emotions than normally shown in entertainment features.....An alternate ending re-orders the final scenes and tacks on an unnecessary group hug finish.....The others convincingly contradict him in the directing departme ...

The major saving grace of The Hills Have Eyes is that it's better acted than probably any other film from Craven's early period.
booby traps, The Hills Have Eyes stretches credibility in the final reel with a series of outlandish ambushes.

The film is fairly violent (it is an exploitation film, after all) yet theres not a lot of gore to be found.
Theres very little in the way of bright, vibrant color to be found in The Hills Have Eyes which really adds to the dry, dusty atmosphere.
