Hills Have Eyes

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.

Oh, no. We absolutely

had to see the desert.

There ain't nothin'

to see in the desert.

What the hell do you care?

Just turn around for a second.

Uh, hello.

Don't you see that?

Geez.

[Older Woman] She's so uncomfortable

in this heat. I told you to use cloth diapers.

- Mom, the doctor said these were fine.

- Look at those little cheeks.

- I know, sweetheart.

- Yes, she is. It's okay.

[Mom]

I think she's getting hungry again.

[Phone Beeping]

Uh, excuse me. Do you have a phone I can use?

I can't get a signal out here.

No, I don't.

Hey, Bukowski.

Give the cell phone a rest.

Sorry, Bob. Duty calls.

[Woman] Honey, you've been on the phone

since we left, really.

- [Doug] Well, sweetheart,

I've been gone two days.

- [Urinating]

I have to make sure that

my store's not burning to the ground.

[Bobby]

Oh, God.

[Sighs]

[Insects Buzzing]

Thanks, Brenda.

[Groans]

[Growls]

[Shouting]

What the hell, Brenda?

Damn it!

Damn it!

[Mom]

How far are we from l-88?

- Freaking perv.

- What?

- [Man] You're at least five or six hours.

- You hungry, sweetie?

- [Mom] Why couldn't we

have gone through Santa Fe?

- It's nasty out here.

- Honey, could you put a cork in it for a minute?

- Well, if I do say so myself...

ma'am, your husband here's

quite right.

This is the only southbound road

going to l-88. From there...

you can take the 40 to California,

but it's a long, old drive.

That doesn't bother me a bit.

I like to drive at night.

I used to work the night patrol

for 15 years.

Is that right? You a cop?

- Well, detective.

- Not anymore, thank God.

- I'm starting my own, uh, security firm.

- Uh-huh.

You a cop too, mister?

No. I'm in telecommunications.

I sell cell phones.

- You won't find any customers around here.

- Yeah, no kidding.

- [Man] Everything's fine. Oil's okay.

- [Barking]

- [Woman] Beauty, come back here!

- [Taps Hood]

Hey, buddy.

What do I owe you?

- Uh, $46 even.

- [Barking Continues]

Oh, hey, Bob, here.

Let me take care of that.

I can still afford the gas, Bukowski.

Keep the change, my friend.

That's not what I meant.

- [Man On Radio Chattering]

- [Woman] Beauty?

- [Beauty Barking]

Beauty!

[Barking Continues]

##[Continues]

Beauty, what are you doing?

[Gasps]

- Can I help you, miss?

- Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just our dog. She just-

She got out, and she won't stay put.

- [Doug] Lynn, we're leaving!

- Come on, girl. Let's go.

- [Horn Honking]

- [Lynn] Bobby, she keeps getting out.

- It's all right. I got her.

- Okay.

Oh, honey? Honey?

Could you, uh, tell him to take it easy?

- Let's go!

- Do you need something?

- [Horn Honking]

- No, thanks.

- [Chuckles]

[Bob]
