The Hills Run Red is a 2009 American slasher film directed by Dave Parker and written by David J. Schow[4] and starring Sophie Monk, Tad Hilgenbrink and William Sadler.

When Tyler discovers that Concannon's daughter Alexa works in a nightclub as a stripper, he decides to meet her and ask about the lost film.

Tyler wakes and finds himself tied to a wheelchair, with many film reels of The Hills Run Red behind him and Concannon finally appearing.

Growing up watching The Hills Run Red, Babyface mutilated his own face and stitched the mask to himself like the fictional character to please his father.

As Concannon speaks with Tyler, Alexa begins filming her own movie as she tortures Lalo in the barn while Babyface rapes Serina.

Alexa then ties Tyler up and forces him to watch her cut of The Hills Run Red, thanking him for realizing her potential as a director independent from her father.
