Entire Cannibalistic & Inbred Jupiter Family Tree From Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes - Explored
82Wes Craven is undeniably the most iconic horror film director, whose work on films like The Last House on the Left (1972), The Hills Have Eyes (1977), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1982) and Scream franchise (1996-2011) have influenced horror cinema and pop-culture for over last five decades. However, "The Hills Have Eyes" (released in 1977) gave him his initial success as the master of horror he is today. Released as a low-budget, trashy slasher, "The Hills Have Eyes" was inspired by a Scottish legend called "Sawney Bean" (which tells the story of a cannibal leader of a clan responsible for 100s of deaths) and quickly became a critical and commercial success earning more than $35 million in the box office. Known for its edgy, unfamiliar narrative and dry humour filled with bloody violence, the film quickly became a cult classic among horror fans. But there's another element of the movie that is popular among the fans: the villains, who (with their brilliant performance) have solidified the movie's popularity even more.
