Hills Have Eyes Page #3

Synopsis: While celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple are caravanning through the desert with their 3 children, son in law and their baby granddaughter. While the rest of the family agrees there are plenty of better and more appropriate things to do to celebrate an anniversary, they make do with what they have, but things take a turn after a sketchy gas station attendant informs them about a "short cut" that will take them in between a series of hills in the desert. It doesn't take too long before they realise they're not alone and the hills indeed do have eyes.

- [Crying]

Where's Bobby? Bobby.

Are you all right, honey? Are you okay?

He's all right.

I knew this wasn't going

to be safe for the baby.

- [Bob] You okay?

- Yeah, we're okay. We're fine.

[Grunts]

Son of a b*tch!

- [Doug] Okay, okay, we're all right.

- Oh, my God. The whole trailer.

Come here, guys.

Come here.

- [Barking]

- Beauty!

Beast!

We are so f***ed.

[Phone Beeping]

- Did you find a signal?

- No. Nothing.

Ninety-seven percent nationwide coverage,

and we find ourselves in that three percent.

- Yeah.

- Well, your dad wanted to see the desert.

I hope he's enjoying himself.

Doug, don't start.

- Maybe somebody will need

a rent-a-cop around here.

- Doug!

- What?

- Come on.

Every chance the guy gets, he takes me

down a peg. Can't snap back at him?

- Yeah, well, don't stoop to his level.

- [Mom] It's my fault?

It's everybody's fault.

- [Mom] Don't listen to him.

- Get off my back.

General, what's the damage?

The axle is broken,

and it's... totaled.

Can we fix it?

What?

[Chuckles]

No, the frame is twisted to hell.

We can't-

- With what? I mean-

- [Mom] There she is.

Give me your damn cell phone.

I'm gonna call a tow truck.

No signal. I tried.

- Well, we can use the C.B.

- You can try it, but I doubt

you're gonna get anybody.

The freeway's way the hell on the other side

of those hills. You won't get a signal.

So, what are we gonna do?

Excuse me.

[Sighs]

Bob? What are we doing?

We walk.

- We walk?

- Yep. You and me.

We're in the middle of the desert.

We're miles from anywhere.

It's either that, or we sit here

and wait for somebody to drive by.

Have you seen anybody drive by

since we got off the freeway?

I haven't seen anyone drive by since

you decided to take the shortcut.

- Honey. Honey, let's go for a walk. Okay?

- Okay.

There's nothing there,

you shitheads.

[Panting]

##[Radio:
Rock]

[Bobby]

There you go. Ah, good boy.

I'm sure this desert is full of rattlesnakes.

Is that locked?

- [Bob] Bobby, come here.

- I think that's locked.

- Come here.

- Yes, sir.

- Thanks, honey.

- You're welcome.

- You know, I saw- Mom?

- What?

- Safety's on, boy.

- Yes, sir.

- I saw a documentary on desert snakes-

- Uh-huh.

On the Discovery Channel-

And there's some species...

if you get bit, you can die

within like 25 minutes.

Really? I'd like to see

how they stack up against this one.

I thought those were gonna

stay locked up, honey.

- I thought you weren't talking to me, honey.

- You're right.

- [Imitating Gun Firing]

- Relax, honey. I'm a licensed professional.

Besides, I'd take my bullets

over your prayers any day.

Well, some things never change.

So, what about, like, uh, scorpions
