I must say, I’m pretty surprised that you haven’t seen the original The Hills Have Eyes. Based on your tastes, it seems like something you would have sought out long, long ago. It’s been way, way too long since I watched Delicatessen. In fact, I’m surprised and ashamed that I don’t have a copy of that one. 🙁
Seeing the original The Hills Have Eyes has always been on my list of things to do, but I saw the remake first and was so blown away by it, I couldn’t imagine the original being better. While I’m a child of the 70’s, I’m more attracted to post-911 horror movies (as I’m working on a book about how 9/11 forever changed the landscape of Horror cinema) and 1990’s horror, as that was when I “came of age”. Also, the remake is directed by Alexandre Aja, one of my all time favorite French directors.
Oh, wow, I am super excited about that idea for a book! Very cool! As I’m sure you’ve gathered, I’m a little old-school in my tastes. Not just in horror, but in cinema – heck, pop culture – in general. For me, the 60s in many ways represented the peak of cinematic style and storytelling. (Not to say there isn’t a TON of post-60s stuff that I love.) So, alas, the cannibal sub-genre emerged right at the point where my interest becomes more sporadic, and it’s one of the areas of horror that I really don’t know much about at all.
Agreed. And I feel like I can trust you guys’ recommendations about things I otherwise might not have bothered to check out.
