:) Thanks Nick!
Nick..
I saw The Hills Have Eyes on my own with no one else in the theater. I think I'm still traumatised. Especially through THAT scene.
I don't like the whole familiar family dynamic thing, and some other stuff, like Beauty. But it doesn't deserve an F :P. It's very effective plus the boy is excellent, and Ravin is good too.
