The Hills Have Eyes 3: The Beginning

The Hills Have Eyes 3 is a 2013 slasher horror film and the third installment in the The Hills Have Eyes horror franchise. The film acts as a prequel to the first two films and is based on the comic book, ''The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning. Unlike the latest The Hills Have Eyes ''movies, this film takes place on a rainy night and a family must hide in mineshafts for shelter, instead of a group of tourists or families in the woods on a hot summer day.

Plot
The film opens up with a physically, disfigured family sitting around in their house. The husband, Dan Bean finds out that the government is planning on evacuating the town in order to perform a chemical experiment. His wife, Karen suggests they move inorder to protect their daughter, Suzie, who is possibly bulimic due to being abnormally thin and having a thin face, red hair and slanted eyes. Since Dan can not pay the money to rent their house, he takes Karen and Suzie to a field of mineshafts while the government performs their experiment. As they go underground, the government releases their bombs and blows up the entire town. Dan and his family remain safe, but begin to suffer from radiation poisioning from the underground toxins. Their flesh begins to disintegrate and they all become horribly disfigured.

Meanwhile, a morbidly obese girl, Blair with three fingered hands wanders around town, looking for food. She lores a group of tourists to her by pretending to cry. As they get to her, she jumps them and devours them all. One remaining soldiers, General Murphey survives and shoots Blair in her chest with a machine gun, killing her instantly. As General Murphey makes his way out of the forest, Karen Sawney Bean, who is now horribly disfigured, wraps a chain of Barb-Wires around his neck and he falls down, dead. Karen begins to drink his blood and enjoys the taste of flesh. Now that Dan is dead from radiation poisoning, Karen and her disfigured daughter, Suzie need to hunt for survival. They meet up with their other disfigured family member, Papa Hades. They enter a mineshaft and create a lair to kill tourists in.

Two years later, the Daniels family, which consists of Paul, his wife, Bethany and their children, George, Declan, Regina, their little brother and sister, Danny and Bridget and their cat, Cinderella are driving to West Virginia to meet up with their family. A rainstorm ensues and Paul runs over strips of Barb-Wire, flattening out their tire. As everyone gets out of the car, much more rain falls, followed by hail. Bethany suggests that they sleep in their car for the night, but Paul demands that they find some shelter and wait for the rain to slow down. While the Daniels are walking, Regina spots someone watching them, but by the time everyone else turns around, the figure is gone and they keep moving. George finds some mineshafts and suggests they go in there, but Declan tells him stories of inbred cannibals who use to live there and they shouldn't enter. When the weather becomes colder, everyone takes a risk and goes in the mineshafts. Regina is still creeped out, but follows her family.

Karen, Papa Hades and Suzie hear the family come in and prepare for the killing. They grab their weapons and spy equipment and head down lower. Bridget goes to use the bathroom and finds blood. She runs back to Paul and Bethany and tells them what she saw. They dismiss her fear and claim that they are staying there for the night.George and Declan decide to explore and find some books about the inbreds. Declan attempts to find more clues about the cannibals to prove that he was right. Regina finds some old beer in another room. She suggests they have a private party until the storm ends. They all turn on some music from their phones, roast some hot dogs, drink beer and have a good time. Papa Hades is staring at them all behind sewage pipes. Few hours later, the Daniels fall asleep. In the middle of the night, Danny wakes up and goes to use the bathroom. He slips on a puddle of blood and finds skeleton bones in the bathtub. As he tries to scream, Papa Hades grabs him from behind and takes him down to the bottom of the mineshaft.

The next morning, Paul realizes that Danny is missing and looks for him. Declan and George tell Paul that they found his shirt jacket on the ground. Bethany begins to think that Danny was kidnapped, but Paul doesn't believe it. While the family split up and search for Danny, Declan heads off to the bottom. He finds Danny being cradled by Karen and sees Suzie playing in a toydrome. Declan begins to panic and tries to run, but Papa Hades appears in front of him and stabs him through his mouth with a sewage pipe and drags him into a cage. Paul and Bethany find corpses in the bathroom and try to run, but get knocked out with tanks by Karen. Meanwhile, Regina and George re-read the books on the cannibals and discover that they were once human and became radiationally poisoned. Regina hears a noise in the other room and goes to investigate. A knock out gas is released and Regina falls asleep. The electricity burns out and George tries to find his flashlight. He turns his flashlight on and sees Bridget on the ground, crying with her head down. He touches her and she shows her melted face. George begins to panic and runs to get help.

While Regina is sleeping on the floor, Papa Hades begins to rape her. She wakes up screaming and he puts a gag around her mouth and carries her to the bottom of the mineshaft. As George is running, Karen knocks him out with a wooden axe and takes him in the basement. Regina wakes up and finds herself bound and gagged to a chair, along with Paul, Bethany, George and Danny. Suzie plays with the cat, Cinderella and begins to feed it with poisionous water and she dies and Suzie laughs in insanity. George tries to free himself, but Papa Hades ties him up even more. Bethany finds a pocket knife on the ground and tries to free herself, but Karen grabs the knife and stabs Bethany four times in her stomach with it and slashes Paul's throat. She begins to drink both of their blood.

Papa Hades brings in Declan's corpse, which is strapped down on a bed. He, Karen and Suzie gut him with an axe and eat his organs. George unties himself completely and beats Karen and Papa Hades with a pipe. Karen dodges the pipe and hits George over the head with it. He gets back up and starts fighting with the duo. George quickly grabs the pocket knife and stabs Papa Hades in his stomach and chest with it. Karen grabs strips of Barb-Wire and wraps it around George's leg and drags him upstairs. Regina unties herself and wraps strips of Barb-Wire around Karen's neck, but Karen takes it off of her neck and attacks Regina with a knife. Regina dodges the knife and stabs Karen in the head with an axe. She and George untie Danny and carry him upstairs and proceed to run. Papa Hades regains consiouseness and grabs an axe. He runs upstairs and chases the trio. As Papa Hades runs beside an opening, George hits him in the face with a wooden shovel and he falls down. George continues to beat Papa Hades with it while Regina and Danny run outside. Papa Hades awakes and fights with George. George stabs Papa Hades through his mouth with the shovel and pins him to a wall.

George runs outside and tries to find his brother and sister. He gets in his car to go search. While he is driving, he accidentally runs over Barb-Belts and his car flips over, killing him. Meanwhile, a group of tourists roam through the woods and come across the mineshafts. As one of the tourists takes pictures of the crime scene, he finds Danny, who's face is melted from radiation poisioning, and runs away. As he runs. Regina, who's face is also deformed, jumps out of a corner and decapitates the tourist with an axe and laughs in insanity.
