What’s It About

“Hillside Cannibals” is a 2006 horror film directed by David DeCoteau. The plot revolves around a group of friends who embark on a camping trip in the remote hills of California. As they settle into their outdoor adventure, they soon discover that the area is inhabited by a family of cannibals who have been living off the land for generations. The friends initially enjoy their time in nature, but their fun quickly turns to terror when they encounter the cannibalistic family. The story escalates as members of the group begin to disappear one by one, falling victim to the savage and ruthless cannibals. The remaining friends must fight for survival against these brutal adversaries while trying to escape the treacherous landscape. Tension builds throughout the film as they confront not only the physical threat posed by the cannibals but also their own fears and paranoia about being hunted. “Hillside Cannibals” attempts to mimic the survival horror genre established by “The Hills Have Eyes,” featuring themes of isolation, survival against monstrous foes, and graphic violence. While it does not achieve critical acclaim or commercial success comparable to its inspirations, it has garnered attention within niche audiences who appreciate low-budget horror films. Its status as a mockbuster is further solidified by its direct-to-video release strategy and marketing that emphasizes its connection to more prominent horror franchises.
