It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I rented this film (a move I will forever regret) and watched the director's commentary (a memory I will try to suppress), which gave me the opportunity of getting to know the director of this sh!tstorm: the talentless, pompous Saran Barnun, who has the gall to compare "tHe HiLlzzz" to Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange". Saran grew up in the Hollywood Hills, and no doubt has a long list of affluent connections from mommy and daddy willing to cough up doe for his little project (this also explains how Paris Hilton got attached.) Listening to the commentary, it becomes evident that Bardun is a spoiled Hollywood brat, a Neanderthal, oblivious to what a good film is and the dedication and TALENT required to make one. I strongly believe that the international film making community should do everything in its power to stop this hack from ever again producing, directing, or writing a film.

I am so ashamed. I admit that I tuned into this to see Paris Hilton. To see her, I had to endure 91 minutes of the most juvenile dialog that I have ever experienced. 45 minutes was used to repeat "fuck" over and over. The rest of the time was lame 13-year-old comments about "how big a pussy you are, man." The only remotely funny bit was the story of "Monster Head." Paris, I am so over you now. This was it. I swear to all that is holy that I will never again subject myself to seeing any moving that you appear in - not even "1 Night in Paris." Go play with the elephants or something. You are ancient history.Can you believe that someone had the nerve to compare this to Pulp Fiction and A Clockwork Orange? That is the ultimate in creative marketing. They should be shot!

The Hillz is a great movie! not a movie to watch with your family but a movie to sit back and watch with friends. Even though the swearing is a little too much it shows what gang life really is. It showed me what life is really like in a gang and how much drugs can take over your life. Also, The Hillz showed me that not all gang members are bad. they may be total jerks but once you get to know them they are nice. Like how T feels really bad about the death of Seb and is actually sensitive instead of the jerk he is around other people. This movie isn't just a movie about a gang its a movie about love, which can attract attention to female viewers. The love connection between Heather Smith and Steve 5 was a nail biter! I know i was wanting them to be together from the start because it would change Steve a lot. I recommend this movie to anybody within reason. It teaches a lot about gangs and is in all a great movie.

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.
