The Hills Have Eyes
Retired detective “Big” Bob Carter’s celebratory cross‑country road trip with his extended family spirals into a nightmare when a sabotaged route leaves them stranded in the New Mexico desert, forcing him to confront a hidden killer and fight for survival before the unforgiving landscape claims them all.
“The lucky ones die first.”
Synopsis
Based on Wes Craven's 1977 suspenseful cult classic, *The Hills Have Eyes* follows a family road trip that takes a terrifying turn when the travelers become stranded in a government atomic zone. Far from civilization, the Carter family soon discovers that the seemingly uninhabited wasteland is actually the breeding ground of a bloodthirsty mutant family—and they are the prey.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 29
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.6× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
