The Hills Run Red - Straight to DVD because Michael Bay is Hitler


The "Hills Run Red" is a movie that is committed to the message its villain believes in. No sub textual bull…just give them the flipping kill. With some patience from the audience, this new take on the killer in the woods genre delivers to the gore starved with enough intelligence that it will not waste the casual moviegoer's time.

Tyler (Tad Hilgenbrink from "The Lost Boys 2") is obsessed with the concept that there was a movie that was so shocking that all of its prints were pulled from theaters to never be seen again. This movie is the late director Concannon's (William Sadler from "Die Hard 2" and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey") only film, "The Hills Run Red". Desperate to see this film, he has tracked down the director's daughter Alexa. In exchange for dragging her away from stripping and her heroin addiction, she has agreed to take Tyler, his best friend, and his girlfriend to where the film was shot.

Of course when anyone goes out to the woods in the name of horror, there are crazed rednecks and a legendary killer to torment and hunt them down leaving us wondering who or what will survive. Will it be a protagonist, a killer, or the documentary footage, or could something even more twisted be all that remains where the hills run red?
