The Hillz (2004) Reviews
True definition of garbage
If dictionaries had a picture next to the word garbage, this movie's poster would be that picture. Let me start off by saying the worst actress in the world, without a doubt is Paris Hilton. She is amazingly and utterly horrible in this movie, even laughing in some lines. It is as if she is reading the script. She sounds dead during the whole movie. A disgrace to the hard work done by actresses' these days. Jesse Woodrow, wow, he is mindblowingly dull in this movie. Indeed, he and Paris Hilton have paired up for the worst performances in acting history. He keeps the same tone during the whole movie, he is never angry or sad, he is just dull. I came up with a couple of titles that would be perfect for this movie: Guns, Drugs, Random ; The Suburbs are now more dangerous than the ghetto; Doing drugs and Killing people for no reason. The directing is as incompetent, unintelligent and horrible as the acting. The only believable actor in this movie was Renee Hedger, who wasn't even good. out of 10 I give this movie a -1000000000000000000, it deserves bellow zero. It should be illegal for Paris Hilton or Jesse Woodrow to ever act in a movie ever again, and they should receive the death sentence if they were ever caught in a movie together again. This is a demonstration of how human incompetence and stupidity is as infinite as the universe. It is also proof of Darwin's evolutionary theory, we do descend from monkeys, and the people who made this movie are living proof of that. I even think that chimps would have done a better job. Don't watch this movie, it will make you feel stupid and ignorant. It is sad to see that to try to make money people will do just about anything.
Terrible
This is quite possibly the worst piece of cinematic trash I have ever had the misfortune to witness. Thank God I didn't actually pay to watch any of it by either renting it or seeing it at the theater. I've seen better acting at high school plays and musicals and the scripting was so bad, it seemed like they were making it up on the spot. I think that the only highlight for me was a scene where Paris Hilton gets slapped, however she quickly ruins any further pleasure with her wooden acting (an insult to wood) and even more about two scenes later when she thinks that it's sexy when she finds out her ex lover killed her current lover. What I want to know is who was the idiot who read the screenplay and decided to dump money into trying to make this train wreck? I was fortunate enough that I didn't further burn out my eyes by watching any more of it - I caught it when I flipped the channel to it and had I not been distracted by some other things, I probably would have watched even less of it than I did. What a waste celluloid.
I want that Hour and a Half of my Life Back
To gain the title of 'Bad Film' a film is normally below average on 1 or 2 levels. Maybe it has a bad script or bad acting, maybe the music is of poor quality or the direction or film techniques are amateurish. However, very rarely will one see a film that is, not just below average but DRAMATICALLY below average on EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. 'The Hillz' seems to have achieved this. Firstly, the script. Let's put it this way - I have watched the film and I don't have a clue what it is about. The back of the DVD led me to believe this was going to be a kind of Hard Core OC-esquire style movie with Paris Hilton in there to look 'good'. In reality it was a script so filled with random characters (not to mention random shooting) that I didn't know what was going on from beginning to end. Even the clichéd narration failed to let me know what the point to this film was. There was no character development, no tension, no realistic emotions, nothing nothing nothing. Instead the script gave me shallow apparently rich kids (although apart from driving a BMW there was no evidence of them being particularly wealthy) who seemed to have nothing better to do then steal stuff, take drugs and shoot people for God only knows what reason. Next the acting. If you watched and marveled at Paris Hilton's bad acting in 'House of Wax' you will be gob smacked at the acting in 'The Hillz'. My personal favourite is when Paris's character Heather hears her boyfriend has been killed; she is so bland you would think she was monotoned. As for the other actors, well Jesse Woodrow and Rene Heger do 'ok' with the script they have been given but I swear they grabbed everyone else of the street randomly. I have seen grade 9 drama performances with better acting then this. Wooden, Hollow, Bad. Music. Did they use garage band for this film? No really, did they? They would have been better off finding some high school band and getting them to play a few songs for $100. In the sentimental bits you have bad violins and pianos and in the hyped up killing scenes you have some bad impression of 1980's sci-fi music. And then sometimes you have a little music just because they felt like putting it there. The sound of the general film is also lacking in any form of quality AT ALL. Voices echo of pool sides, feet can be heard louder then voices as people walk along tiles and 50% of the actors mumble (especially Paris Hilton). Finally, Direction and Film Techniques. Now I have nothing against filming on a Handy-Cam, there have been some great films done on them. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. The picture quality is grainy, the shots are either blurry or terribly over-exposed and every now and again you get a camera man trying to be 'experimental' and instead succeeding in getting the main actor half out of the shot and an extra's shoulder in instead. And the random flashbacks of scenes that happened only 2 seconds ago? I know you are meant to assume the audience is stupid but really, WE ARE NOT GOLDFISH! In conclusion, whoever financed this film should have taken the money and donated to charity and then all the poor poor sods who watched this film could have that precious hour and a half of their lives back.
Great when you need something to laugh at.
Absolutely one of the worst films I've ever had the displeasure of paying for. So you've got a Friday night, nothing to do, you and your friends want to find something cheesy to watch and make fun of. It's sad when you look at a cover of a film and the biggest star is a woman who has made her career out of the Paparazzi and sex. Not to mention someone else was off MTV's Undressed, I believe? Pathetic. We had to rent it. But it was a lesson learned. No acting capability what so ever. How dare they compare any of this film to Clockwork Orange. It's not like any art student will be even looking at the back of this film. (Well, I did, for kicks). The gun shots are Power-pointed in. The brutality is just ridiculous. No one can act. I swear. Even the tears by one of the characters at the end look like inhaling a fowl odor. The music, well, was decent in some parts. Sounded a little Portishead, but that doesn't excuse the horrible violin plucks that serve no meaning for half of the film. Paris. Enough said. The story after 30 minutes you feel as though you've been in for an hour. We cried and laughed our way through. The worst is the freeze frame segment where they introduce our soulless characters by printing their names on the screen in bad font. Bad scene transitions. Bad dialogue (what's with the tampon/period jokes?). I'm sorry but this is just so bad, I had to watch Tori Amos, "Sleeps with Butterflies," video to get it out of my head and mouth.
New award winner...Hands down the worst movie in existence!!!
The Hillz...is without a doubt the absolute worst garbage movie I have ever seen. Amateur doesn't even begin to start with this utter ridiculous CRAPFEST!! Not that Paris Hilton is some extreme high class movie star but how in the hell did she get tied up to this trash?? She must have owed someone big...someone must have had a secret porn tape on her...oh wait..it's not a secret...This is gonna be brief and I don't think I've ever rated a movie a ZERO!! The Hillz is the story...I think it's a story...of four Highschool buds who are rich ghetto thugs. They drive their parents car, spend their parents money, live in the lap of luxury while doing outrageously stupid crimes and getting away with it. After one of the looniest of them, Duff, shoots a young cop that has been giving them trouble the four of them find themselves starting a gang that has the potential to run everything in The Hillz. One of them, Steve finally breaks away and goes to school to make something of himself in order to get the girl he loves Heather to see him as a success. He returns a year later on Summer break determined to not get mixed up with Duff and his gang again. But he does, he gets sucked back in to their world of drugs and death. The rest is not worth mentioning. People are getting shot, and stomped out and drugs are flowing and it's just absolute crap. There is NOTHING...I REPEAT NOTHING good about this film. It is such a waste of time and I've taken the bullet for movie goers out there and sat through this trash to warn you against it. Anyone who liked this film has got to be completely high!!! Paris Hilton was actually the redeemable actress in it all because the rest of them were a joke. Including Silas Gaither...from Survivor?? OH MY GOD!! Considering Saran Barnun who was and I list....director, writer, starred in, producer, music supervisor, and casting director should never be let near a camera ever again. WOW...yeah..The End. BIG FAT 0/10
