Storyline
Based on Wes Craven's 1977 suspenseful cult classic, The Hills Have Eyes is the story of a family road trip that goes terrifyingly awry when the travelers become stranded in a government atomic zone. Miles from nowhere, the Carter family soon realizes the seemingly uninhabited wasteland is actually the breeding ground of a blood-thirsty mutant family...and they are the prey.

When Aja really starts in on the brutal slayings, he spares no one any comfort at all.

This remake of the 1977 Wes Craven cult classic is brutally horrific. And that's a compliment.

Variety
Besides proving to be a faithful mimic of Craven's filmmaking, Aja pours on the gore. But where Aja's version really leaps beyond Craven's both atmospherically and on the violence scale is in the second hour.

ReelViews
The Hills Have Eyes gets points for gore and general creepiness, and for occasional periods of tension, but it's not scary enough to linger long in the subconscious.

Empire
Fans of the original won't be disappointed, but ultimately it's just another decent, arguably unnecessary, '70s horror remake.
