THE HILLS HAVE EYES (1977)
Summerization: Pretty fucking insane. A nuclear family vs. nuclear desert hillbilly mutants.
Why It's Awesome: It takes place in the desert, in the middle of nowhere. The cast is good. The story is good. The directing is good. Lots of props come directly off the set of the Texas ChainSaw Massacre, so the bones you see are real. There are two awesome dogs named Beauty and Beast, one of which is the closest thing to a hero. The surviving members of the family are driven to the brink of sanity when they realize to defeat the desert freaks they must fight like the desert freaks (sneaky and brutally).
If the desert setting doesn't cause you to sweat, maybe mutant on teen rape or baby-nabbing will. Also the hillbilly mutant family is named after planets, which is pretty cool. And it's got Michael Berryman. If you know who he is, you love him.
If you're really diggin' how this sounds, there's also a sequel (notoriously bad/awesome), a remake (pretty good), and a sequel to the remake (not a remake of the sequel. It's alright, I guess).
Quote: "Baby's fat... you fat... fat and juicy."
Best Time To Watch: Before or while on the family road trip. During any BBQ.
Quality: 7 outa 9 planets aligned.
