'The Hills Run Red' Movie Review



Film-school student Tyler is obsessed with the lost horror film The Hills Run Red, which
is considered to be the most frightening horror film that has ever been made. It was released
only once after it was made, but then it was never shown again. The scariest part is that each
death in the movie was absolutely REAL. People really were killed in this film. The strangest
part, though, is that the director of the film, Wilson Wyler Concannon, and the movie
both have disappeared without a trace. Tyler has been doing everything he
can to gather information on the lost film so when he finds out that Concannon's
daughter works at a local strip-club,  he decides to meet with the girl and see what she knows about the lost film, which she played in when she was a little girl. The girl also told him that each death in the film was absolutely real. 
 She decides to take Tyler and his friends to where the movie was filmed, not mentioning to them that the killer from the movie, Baby-Face, was still lurking in those woods.



I watched this movie a long time ago during my freshman year of high school (which was when it first came out) and loved it when I first saw it, but seeing it again many many years later was almost like seeing something brand new. This movie was absolutely brilliant. The story, the plot, the characters, basically the whole entire concept of this movie was absolutely phenomenal. 
One reason I really enjoyed watching this movie so much was the fact that the slasher franchise is pretty much dead, nobody makes slasher films anymore, and if they do they just remake one from the 80’s or 90’s, it’s ridiculous, but this movie took slashers to an entirely different level of insanity and personally this movie to me was a masterpiece.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
