The Hills Have Thighs

"The Hills Have Eyes" gets the Skinimax treatment in this softie spoof.

Bountifully blessed babes are preying on the men crazy enough to set foot near their desolate hillside home where 50 years ago nuclear testing left the are desolate. Some friends go after another friend who was kidnapped and forced to pleasure these insatiable wild women mutants and fall under the spell of "The Hills Have Thighs". Random boffing and crap-tacular music happen at regular intervals. Most are guaranteed to make you laugh or wince. If plasticized beauties and horrid acting are your thing than this one may be for you. But if you are allergic to gratuitous spoofing and monster life preservers than avoid like the plague.

This movie ended up creating quite a lot of controversy when it turned out the title was already in use by an amateur film maker who made a non-erotic movie, and his subsequent threats to sue Wynorski for this film.

I'm not sure how much extra publicity the controversy might have created for this version of The Hills Have Thighs, but I'm guessing that even with a different name it would have held up on its own very well.

Unlike a lot of recent softcore movies, where they stack the cast with hardcore girls taking a day off from penetration, they used almost entirely non-hardcore talent here which was a major breath of fresh air. The one exception, Rebecca Love, almost doesn't count as a hardcore girl as she can actually act unlike most of them and really seems to enjoy these kinds of movies.

Kylee Nash, playing the leader of the cave girls, was incredibly hot. The film leaves you with no idea if she can act more than a prehistoric grunt, but she makes up for the lack of dialogue the cave girls get with her eye popping figure. Her scene by the bonfire was not only very sexy, it bordered on actually being somewhat artistic.

Julie K. Smith was great as well, especially in her scene with Frankie Cullen. The leg warmers she wore in this scene were such sexy costuming and they really added a lot. I'm not a fan of the tattoos she's acquired, but she's still very sexy.

Brandin Rackley is attractive, and will appeal to a lot of people, but for me personally it's kind of amazing how she fades into the background when the much larger chested Julie K. Smith, Kylee Nash, and Rebecca Love are around.

One last mention must be made of Diana Terranova. She appears to be more of a "legitimate" actress, which is kind of a shame in a way, because she's gorgeous and I would love to see her do a lot more than dance around during orgy scenes.

The Hills Have Thighs is Jim Wynorski's latest late night Cinemax T&A flick and conforms pretty well to his past outings. A hiker becomes lost in the wilderness and comes across sexually insatiable mutant cave women who hold him captive for their carnal enjoyment. Two couples that are friends of his go off to try to find and save him, unaware of his true predicament.

No time is wasted getting right into the good bits, with two cave women immediately ravishing the unsuspecting hiker. If they could bottle whatever mutated the cave women to look like this, it would put every plastic surgeon in Los Angeles out of business. I have not seen breasts as impressively pumped up as Kylee Nash's since the days of Shae Marks and Pandora Peaks in Andy Sidaris's old spy softcore erotica.

All of Julie K. Smith's scenes are amazing as usual. Kylee Nash's scene by the bonfire is easily my favorite in the film and I hope to see her in more in the future. Disappointments were Glori-Anne Gilbert's scene being recycled old footage from a past film (the dreaded flashback scene) and Dianna Terranova, while attractive, not actually getting naked and involved in any of the scenes other than just dancing around. Overall, though, the film is definitely a success for the genre, and is my favorite of Wynorski's parody themed late night romps since The Breastford Wives.

It's honestly one of my favorite sofctore movies, especially because of Jim Wynorski's directing performance in producing and directing it. With plenty of outdoor scenes, some interesting shots in the desert, and several surprising and well-done sofctore scenes, it's a movie that should definitely be on your list if you're a lover of this genre.

Usually I think that many of the daylight shots of this genre are not as well achieved as many of us would like, in fact most of them have a lack of light and little genius when they are made, but in this case I think they were achieved quite well and have a very good level of light for the area where it was recorded that although they have a level of natural light, It offers quite a bit of production work.

It is worth noting that several of the protagonists are very good looking and have shown an improvement in their level of acting throughout the film, especially I think they offer good entertainment and that is what many of us come to see in this type of low production cinema.

I definitely recommend watching it when you're bored and need something entertaining to watch or when you have some free time.

I've always been fond of Julie K. Smith, but it's the visuals of being shot in the Californian desert that elevate this standard T&A pic 'The Hills Have Thighs' from director Jim Wynorski. Kylee Nash's huge boobs were a treat too I won't lie, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a strictly by the numbers experience.

When their friend goes missing hiking and the authorities can't find him, two couples Ben (Frankie Cullen) & Mary (Smith) and Mike (Mark Weiler) & Sandy (Brandin Rackley) go searching for him themselves. It means hotel sex, desert sex, dream sequence sex, flashback sex, sex with the cavewomen (Nash, Rebecca Love, Dana Bentley) who have him kept sex hostage.

There's one obvious bit of cheapness on display - they reuse Glori-Anne Gilbert's sex scene with Cullen from 'Witches of Breastwick' - but the unique location allows this to be a slight step up from the usual low energy formula and the cast look to be having fun. It's still your tame mix of boobs & fake sex coming in at a brisk 70 minutes so I can't rate it higher. Don't read too much into the spoof parody title neither.
