The Hillz (2004)

Beneath the tranquil atmosphere of The Hillz, four affluent suburban teens are caught up in a web of spiraling violence, drug addiction and casual sex. After a year away at college, Steve 5 (Charmed's Jesse Woodrow) returns to find his neighborhood radically changed. His best friend, Duff (Rene Heger, MTV's Undressed), has become the sadistic head of a gang that has turned the beautiful suburban hills into an ultra-violent crime zone where drugs and sex are as plentiful as candy. Duff finally has respect, plenty of cash and cool new friends (including James DeBello, Swimfan). Finding himself lured into Duff's new life, Steve 5 struggles to stay true to his dream of becoming a professional baseball player and also trying to win the love of the sexy but unattainable Heather (Paris Hilton, The Simple Life). Combining the grittiness of Boyz N the Hood and the flavor of TV's The O.C., here's a comedic pulse-pounding adventure on the "hood's" leaf-strewn streets. Cast includes: Paris Hilton (Fox's The Simple Life), Rene Heger (In Enemy Hands, guest appearance in Gilmore Girls, guest appearance in Charmed), Jesse Woodrow (model, guest appearance in Charmed, Chasing the Dragon) and Jason Shaw (model, L.A. Knights, Liar's Club, guest appearance in Charmed). The Hillz also includes Eric Priestly (Port Charles), Vince Rimoldi (Camp), Silas Gaither (Survivor: Africa, Anger Management) and a cameo appearance from Trishelle Cannatella (MTV's The Real World).

HORRIBLE

This may be the worst movie I have ever seen. Horrible acting ever one is trying to be a gangster key word is trying. January 15, 2008

The worst movie I've ever encountered

There aren't words sufficient to express just how piss-poor this movie is. The writing is a disaster, the acting is so bad it makes the viewer visibly uncomfortable, and the production quality is about as low-budget as it gets.

The only thing working for this movie is just how bad it is. I was flipping around last night and caught it coming on Showtime. Out of curiosity, I decided to watch the first few minutes and, before I knew it, I was completely mesmerized by how utterly terrible this movie was in every possible respect. I mean, if the movie had been just bad--as opposed to an absolute train wreck--I certainly would've stopped watching it. But this movie was so mindblowingly terrible that I simply couldn't turn away.

So it has that going for it. Which is nice. November 4, 2007

So Awful it's a Classic

I was flipping around the movie channels at about 2:30 in the morning and found this gem just as it started. I spent the first fifeteen minutes trying to convince myself to change the channel as the acting and plot were of sub-B-rate porn quality. But I couldn't change the channel it was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Then Paris apears on screen and it only gets worse. The rest of the flick had me so intralled I didn't even get up to take a piss (despite the fact I was stinkin drunk). The next day i went out and rented it and made my bother watch it. He loved it as much as I did.

For single handedly lowing my opinion of the art of filmaking I give The Hillz 5 stars July 27, 2007

What a waste of film and my time!

I just wasted almost 2 hours of my life watching this useless drivel. Poor acting, plot, etc. If you like this genre, do yourself a favor and see 'Alpha Dog' instead- it's hot and this is not. June 21, 2007

Love It!

If you're looking for a moving, deep, serious movie with a thick plot line, this definitley isn't it! But if you're looking for something to keep you interested and laughing, then buy this movie! I'm a fan of Hilton, and bought this just because she appeared in it, and was interested in what it was, but after watching it, I've realized it's actually not starring Hilton at all! The acting is definitley not Oscar worthy, but at by the end of the movie, it leaves you thinking, "wow, that was so bad, it was good." This is definitley a movie i'd recommend for people with open minds, for those who have a "defined" taste in movies, then this isn't for you! June 6, 2007
