The Hills Have Eyes takes inspiration from the infamous 16th century Scottish legend about the "Sawney Bean Clan," a family of cannibals. It is a movie that revolves around a story of a family stranded in the desert, who soon becomes the target of a mutated cannibal family. Although the story is fictionalized, its influence comes from grim, macabre tales such as the Bean family, murdering other people and cannibalization over decades. From being very disturbing in describing a film about human savagery and the definition of survival horror, hundreds have followed this genre movie plot.
