TheRemake of the [[Film/TheHillsHaveEyes1977 1977 horror film]] by French director Creator/AlexandreAja, who is also responsible for ''Film/HighTension''.
A typical American family is on vacation. They are soon stranded in the middle of desert when [[DeadlyRoadTrip their RV breaks down thanks to sabotage]] and end up being terrorized by a family who are mutated from nuclear fallout by government testing in the area.
A [[Film/TheHillsHaveEyes2 sequel]] was released in 2007. There's also ''Comicbook/TheHillsHaveEyesTheBeginning'', a prequel/interquel graphic novel.
!!This film has examples of:
* AdaptationDistillation: Oddly, the film is a case of both this and AdaptationExpansion. While it adds an extended sequence in a nuclear testing town and adds considerable depth to the characters of the Carter family, it also greatly dials back and [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderizes]] the mutant characters, who barely have any dialogue, and are portrayed almost entirely as soulless monsters, [[spoiler: besides Ruby]]. Also, it reduces the role of Fred, the gas-station man.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the original film, Doug's last name was Wood. In here, it's Bukowski, which is a Polish name which literally means "of the beech [tree]". Thus in a way he is still called "Wood".
* AnyoneCanDie: The promotional comic for the film plays this trope shockingly straight when [[spoiler: Doug, the undisputed walking badass PapaWolf of a man, and his baby both bite the dust. This was most likely done in order to demonstrate how much the new family does not fuck around.]] See below for further complaining on the subject and CanonDiscontinuity for peace of mind.
