SHV - S10E06 - The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

Revenge of the remakes soldiers on with the BRUTAL 2006 remake of The Hills Have Eyes directed by Alexander Aja, produced by Wes Craven.

You could also just call it the movie where the girl from Hocus Pocus involuntarily breast-feeds a deformed mutant cannibal.
