Hills Have Eyes Page #2

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.

Wiring's medieval.

Needs to be replaced.

- There.

- [Air Conditioner Humming]

There.

It's just the, uh, thermostat.

It's disconnected.

Anyway, at least

we can breathe now.

Hey, I thought you quit smoking.

- Does my sister know?

- Hey, man.

- F*** your sister.

- [Chuckles]

You know, uh, Big Bob'd

get pretty pissed off...

if he found out you were smoking

in his newly renovated '88 Airstream.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, f*** Big Bob too.

Here. Want one?

Go ahead.

Uh-uh.

Your sister would cut my nuts off

if you start smoking.

I think she did that

a long time ago.

- I think you're right.

- [Chuckles]

I think we're somewhere

on this blue road.

[Lynn] Mom, we're not on the blue road

or any other road.

The guy said it wasn't

on the map, remember?

- [Lynn Screams]

- [Mom] Oh, my God!

Jesus! Hang on!

Watch the baby!

[Man Growls]

Honey? Where's the baby?

- She's right here.

- Is she okay?

- She's fine. She's fine.

- What the hell happened?

- The heat must have caused a blowout.

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm just a little scared.

- [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

and coyotes and stuff?

[Chuckles]

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Hey, Doug. You wanna try?

- Hey, don't point that at me!

- Don't worry, man. The safety's on.

- Hey, Bobby?

- Yeah?

Leave Doug alone. He's a Democrat.

He doesn't believe in guns.

Oh. Come on, Dougy.

Come here. Just one shot.

It makes you feel kind of powerful.

You might like it.

I don't think so, Bobby.

I'd probably just shoot my foot off.

You know, he's right.

- He'd probably shoot his foot off.

- [Chuckles]

##[Continues]

- Hey, "B."

- Hey.

How you holding up?

I am thrilled.

[Chuckles]

Yeah. This is a total drag.

Yeah, well, you know,

I really don't care what they say.

Next year, I am going

to Cancn with my friends.

Not going on any more

of these little family trips.

Well, we're not gonna have

many more of them, you know?

And if you want to go to Cancn,

you know you're gonna have to get a job.

Oh, yeah. What, you mean

like your job?

Brenda, I help Doug out

at the store, okay?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

[Doug]

Honey? Can you bring me my jacket?

I'll be right there, honey.

[Chuckles]

##[Ends]

[Bird Twittering]

- [Screams]

- [Gasps] Bobby!

F***er!

- Could you get me a Twinkie?

- No!

Aw.

[Chuckles]

- Just keep walking this direction.

- Yeah, fine.

You find out where the road leads,

and I'll head back the way we came.

- Stay away from me.

- [Doug] All right.

It's gotta lead somewhere.

Maybe back to the freeway.

- Are you taking a gun too?

- No, honey, I'm not.

I don't need a gun

to find help.

- I don't want this.

- You need the hat.

- It gives me hat head. I don't like it.

- Who cares?

- It's not about fashion.

- All right. Thank you.

Hey, listen. Uh, if you don't find help

within five or six miles, just come back.

All right?

- Here, honey.

- I'm gonna go to the gas station.

You're just never gonna make it back

by sunset is the only problem.

Honey, it's only about eight miles.

I'll borrow the old man's car.

Use his phone, if he's got one. I'll be back

with a tow truck before nightfall.

- [Bobby] Can I go with Doug?

- [Both] No. Nope.

You stay here with your mother

and your sisters. Now, hey, uh, Brenda?

Listen up. Your brother is

in charge, all right?

- So don't tease him.

- [Mom] I think we should pray before you go.

- Oh, Mom!

- Brenda, is it really so much to ask?

- Yes.

- Come on.

Damn it.

We're waiting.

Thank God no one's watching us.

- Bobby.

- Stop it, Bobby.

- [Mom] Stop.

- [Bob] Thanks.

[Mom Sighs]

Please bless us at this time...

and send your guardian angels...

to help us to walk through

this valley in our faith...

this, yeah, with the help

of thy dear Lord.

- [Bob] Amen.

- [All] Amen.

- [Bob] Okay.

- [Lynn] Bye, Doug. Be careful.

- [Doug] See you later.

- See you guys in a few hours.

[Lynn]

Honey? Keep the hat on, okay?

- [Doug] Am I wearing it?

- Don't give me that look.

- Do you see it on my head?

- I love you.

I love you too. Bye.

[Man Grunting, Growling]

[Lynn]

Hi.

- Hi, sweetness. Hello.

- [Cooing]

Who doesn't want

to sleep anymore?

Are you hungry?

Please take your feet

off the table. Honestly.

Just because we're camping
