Ep. 16: The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

Welcome to Hotter Than Hell Month! We pack up the camper and head out into the Nevada desert to dig into Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes. We all know that Craven was raised fundamentalist Baptist but what kind of effect did it have on his movies? More than you might expect from this savage classic. We discuss the ever-present Craven theme of "the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children" along with ancient myth and fairy tales, the silence of God, and what happens when the civilized becomes the savage. So buckle up and watch "the wind blow your dried up seeds away."
