The Hills Have Eyes 3 Netflix

Will The Hills Have Eyes three Ever Happen?

20th Century Studios

Director Wes Craven may be all-time known for Freddy Krueger (who's surprisingly handsome in real life) fromA Nightmare on Elm Street and Ghostface fromScream, but long before both of those franchises he found success with some other pair of films — The Hills Have Eyes.

Not long afterwards Craven's directorial debut — the horrific, sexually violent home invasion picture The Last House on the Left –Craven was afforded the chance to pursue his talent for the unsettling with a little help from producer Peter Locke. With the real-life inspiration of Scottish cannibal Alexander "Sawney Bean" and the and then-contempo nail success of Tobe Hooper'due south now iconic motion-picture show The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Craven decided on who his new monsters would be: cannibal hillbillies.

The original The Hills Take Optics is absolutely iconic for how graphic and unsettling information technology is. Virtually no 1 is spared, not fifty-fifty the dogs. It's a vision of how quickly and easily people tin turn feral, even those from polite, suburban society. Unfortunately, while the beginning film was a success, the 1985 sequel ran out of coin during product, was padded with footage from the original film, and got shelved for two years before releasing directly to video. Not exactly a recipe for success.

On the upside, a basis left fallow eventually finds itself rich enough in nutrients to spring forth with new life. In 2006, filmmaking partners Alexandre Aja and Grégory Levasseur crafted a The Hills Have Optics remake with Wes Craven'south blessing. That picture was successful plenty to spawn its own sequel a year afterward. Let's talk almost those ii films, what makes them enjoyable, and the possibility of a office three now 14 years later.

Is 15 years too long?

20th Century Studios

The 2006 remake of The Hills Accept Eyes has a largely like plot to the original relieve for the increased focus on the origin of our family of cannibal hillbillies –they're nuclear, and we don't hateful they are a "nuclear family," we hateful they are a family mutated by nuclear radiations. The 2007 sequel to the remake affirms that the military is at least partially aware of the mutated loma folk, and that at least i of the irradiated clans out in that location is attempting to kidnap normal passersby with the intention of impregnating them and continuing to grow the brood.

The first movie faired reasonably well, netting $70 million at the box office (via Box Role Mojo). The sequel was completed this time, but wasn't also received by critics and but wound up making $37 1000000 (via Box Office Mojo). However, information technology's worth noting that the picture simply cost $15 million and had a solid domicile video release grossing another $30 one thousand thousand (via The Numbers). That's probably plenty money for at to the lowest degree a directly-to-video threequel featuring the next generation of nuclear hill people.

Withal, with 15 years in the rearview information technology's unlikely a directly sequel will be made now. While streaming services sometimes continue old franchises, and at that place are multiple fan-made trailers for a 3rd film that doesn't really exist, it simply doesn't make sense to put the roman numeral "III" at the end of a motion picture that would be statistically more than likely to make more money if information technology was marketed equally another remake.

That being said, the original The Hills Have Eyes franchise did take an unofficial tertiary entry called Mind Ripper which came out in 1995, 10 years later The Hills Have Eyes Part II. So it's technically possible that a company similar Shudder could show fans some love.

The concept took a Wrong Turn

Saban Films

Nosotros've gone a long fourth dimension without talking about the film franchise that has always felt like the spiritual successor to The Hills Have Optics — Wrong Turn. The Wrong Turn movies also feature people living in the backwoods who trap and torment people who get lost on the route and air current up ensnared in hillbilly territory. The Incorrect Turn movies may not be universally well received, but it'southward worth noting that upwardly until 2014, there were six numbered entries in that franchise.

However, in 2021 Wrong Turn got a fresh glaze of pigment from the man who started the franchise, screenwriter Alan B. McElroy. The new Wrong Turn splits off from the original franchise in a number of fundamental ways, not least of which in that it introduces a make new reason for their to be a group of hillbillies hiding in the forest — they're a cult. Specifically, the cult (called The Foundation) was originally a grouping who thought the The states would crumble nether the weight of the Ceremonious State of war and secreted themselves abroad and then they could afterward serve as a foundation for a new lodge. It'south an interesting premise that reshapes the Wrong Plow franchise in an interesting way. With a surprisingly solid critical response, we wouldn't be surprised if The Hills Accept Eyes did something similarly loftier-concept.

Hither'south one more reason nosotros recollect a remake is more likely — rumor of one was reported on a niggling over a year ago past We Got This Covered. According to the rumor, the film would be directed by Fede Álvarez who found success remaking another horror classic: Evil Expressionless. We Got This Covered isn't exactly known as a reliable source, so take this rumor with a healthy serving of salt, but the idea does make more than sense than continuing a remake nearly xv years later.
