very low budget film, not done as awesome as freaky deaky, definitely a little more realistic and performs like a HEATHERS. I have ten lines to put into this review, and recreating this film would be great. Paris is an awful actress and not too super hot in this film. The men are typical suburban white guys with anger issues and retribution plus payback throughout this film, its a regular vocabulary for pot heads and young adults, its a common emotion suppressed yet played out violently well in this film. I have yet to see BRICK, but I would compare this to a scanner darkly a little bit also. I will be looking forward to adding brick on my watchlist as I did the lazarus project. for some reason I haven't kept infatuated with some other films and they seemed to have dissappeard off my watchlist too.
... View MoreOne thing I find to be very confusing about The Hillz is the choice of main characters. The introduction scene shows them harassing a store owner, and generally acting like jerks to more or less everyone around them. For a moment I thought this was a brilliant move on the part of the director, to portray these thugs in an honest way without turning them into heart-of-gold anti heroes. Turns out however, that these were supposed to be our protagonists, the guys we were supposed to root for, the director was simply unable to make them look even the least bit sympathetic. Another strange thing about this movie is how violent it is, how casually it deals with violence, and how little consequence there is to said violence. thug leader Duff goes around arbitrarily shooting people for no reason, without so much as a hint of emotion, and the police are nowhere to be scene. It could be a reflection on our society's blasé attitude to violence, but it is more likely he was just not able to portray violence in any serious way. When you get down to it, The Hillz is just a badly acted portrayal of a bunch of deeply unsympathetic characters (that goes for both protagonists and antagonists alike) engaging in some light-hearted random violence. How that is not more exciting is a mystery to me.
... View MoreI am so ashamed. I admit that I tuned into this to see Paris Hilton. To see her, I had to endure 91 minutes of the most juvenile dialog that I have ever experienced. 45 minutes was used to repeat "fuck" over and over. The rest of the time was lame 13-year-old comments about "how big a pussy you are, man." The only remotely funny bit was the story of "Monster Head." Paris, I am so over you now. This was it. I swear to all that is holy that I will never again subject myself to seeing any moving that you appear in - not even "1 Night in Paris." Go play with the elephants or something. You are ancient history.Can you believe that someone had the nerve to compare this to Pulp Fiction and A Clockwork Orange? That is the ultimate in creative marketing. They should be shot!
... View MoreLOL I give this movie an 8 out of 10 if you want something to laugh at. I bought The Hillz only because Paris Hilton was in it, although she didn't have a huge role. This is the funnest movie to watch if you are high. I wish the guys would stop picking on Ahkmel so much LOL, but that makes the movie funnier. I hope the writers were not planning something serious when they decided to make this movie. Come on, how could a bunch of spoiled rich brats from Beverly Hills decide to go around killing everybody without anyone noticing/caring??? The plot is so unrealistic, which adds to the humor. It is supposed to be a thriller, but I'd say it's definitely a comedy.I have made some of my friends watch it, and they all thought it was funny but incredibly stupid. HAHA LOVES IT!!!
