Customer Reviews

A gritty exercise in utter futility
Actually sitting down and watching a Paris Hilton film is about as wild and crazy as I get. The Hillz really isn't a Paris Hilton film at all, though; it's just a film that she happens to appear in. I don't think the Oscars are going to come calling at the Hilton estate any time soon. The really sad thing is that everyone else in the cast is even a worse actor/actress than Paris. I might mention the fact that Paris actually keeps her clothes on in this movie - although her funeral scene attire was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

Oddly enough, this film could have been OK; all it needed was a decent writer, a decent director, a decent producer, a few decent actors, and some decent film quality. Since The Hillz has none of those things, it basically does a complete cannonball into an empty swimming pool. If I didn't know better, I would think Eminem wrote the script. The Hillz is basically all about a group of white, nouveau riche, teenaged hooligans who embrace a life of crime. In high school, they are just bored, no-good juvenile delinquents - and the cops are no better than they are. After high school, though, every policeman within 100 miles of The Hillz obviously left town because Duff and his gang of hooligans and thugs beat people up, sell drugs, use drugs, and murder people in cold blood - in broad daylight. There is apparently no community watch group in The Hillz because it's sort of hard for a whole neighborhood to not notice anything suspicious when a gang of kids cursing at the tops of their lungs start blowing each others' brains out in the middle of the street in the middle of the day. Gorehounds, I must say, will be disappointed because we hardly see any blood whatsoever. The characters themselves hardly even notice when Duff has one of his episodes and spontaneously takes somebody's head off - although one character does utter the words "uncalled for" in the wake of one of the murders.

There are trace elements of morality in this dark story. A couple of the main characters walk away from the gang after the killing starts, only to be sucked back in (one way or another) before the credits roll. The narrator is supposedly some guy who learned his lesson and is looking back on what happened to him, but he's just as dumb as Duff. If this is some kind of morality tale, it's not a very good one. The narrator guy happens to be madly in love with Heather Smith (Paris Hilton), even though she's self-centered and superficial (Paris wasn't exactly forced to act out of character for this film). Paris doesn't really bring a lot to the actual story, but she (unlike her equally untalented co-stars) can generate sales. When Paris Hilton is about the only thing going for a movie, you know it has some real problems.

Awful movie!!!!!
I just bought this movie to add to my Paris Hilton collection, it was only about £2 so at least I didn't have to pay that much for it.
But the movie is awful. No plot, bad acting and terrible camera work!
I wouldn't reccomend this movie to anyone even Paris fans cause shes hardly in it!!

Worse Film Ever?!
This is really, really bad. I only bought this because I like Paris Hilton and have a bit of a Paris Hilton collection going on.

I don't know where to start, it's not even that Paris Hilton spoils the film or anything, I don't think she's a terrible actress - ok, she's not gonna win an oscar ever, but she isn't that bad. It's more that she takes terrible scripts on. And this is truly terrible. One of the worse films I have ever seen.

If you have a Paris Hilton collection going on, maybe purchase it for those purposes only and at the cheapest price. You won't be watching it often.
