The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)

ive seen better G rated movies

Once again we are suckered into watching something that bears no resemblance to what was supposed to be in the movie. Torture, its not in there. Rape, not today dude it aint here. Killing, I must have fell asleep when it was taking place. Ive seen more torture, rape and killing in Walt Disneys The Jungle Book. Can someone please give us a real movie that has in it whats supposed to be in it. July 9, 2008

Attempts To Make Political Statement But Fails to Deliver

I disagree with those who view this as a simple slashfest, detached from the political points about the military and the "American Family" that the first remake constructed so well.

For me, there is a clear parallel between the National Guard unit fighting a deadly, mysterious enemy in a desert environment, and the wars going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, the training exercise in the beginning of the movie, in which the raw recruits trust an Afghan woman who is in actuality a suicide bomber, is reprised near the end, when the survivors are asked to trust a mysterious hilldweller who is attempting to lead them to safety.

I am not saying the hillpeople-as-terrorists theme works, just that it appears to have been something in the mind of the filmmakers. They do wind up simply going for the gore and thrills, which to me were fairly well-rendered in the abandoned caves below.

Not worthy as a successor to the excellent 2006 remake, but not as bad as some of the reviewers seem to find it. As they set up yet another sequel at the end, I wonder what's left to do with those crazy cannibals up in Sector 16. June 23, 2008

Hills with gore.............

Seen this movie in theatres when it came out. Not a bad movie. Its got great twisted gore scenes. The women are hot. Acting not bad. I don't know why some people give it one star. So get sick from from the Hills have Eyes 2. May 23, 2008

The hills have gone down

this was dissapointing a movie with no good meaning to it iam not even going to tell you how bad this movie was it was just a dissapointment. May 1, 2008

Watchable sequel.

Two years after the horrifying incident with the Carter family, a militant group of soliders search out in the New Mexican desert for a lost research facility and scientists that been missing. They soon discover as they pass beyond a hill lies the lair of the flesh-eating crazed mutant hermits that inhabit the area.

Entertaining and violent sequel to the suprisingly good 2006 remake of Wes Craven's 1977 cult classic "The Hills Have Eyes". This movie just happens to be a slight improvement over the disappointing 1985 "Hills Have Eyes 2" but this time without the dumb dog flashback sequence like in that movie, this movie does have some gruesome moments like heads blown off, a brief rape sequence, cannibalism and such. It's more action horror then it's suspenseful precessor from Alexandra Aja, sure the acting would have been better including some dialog but this is an enjoyable sequel.

This DVD contains some fine extras like a Featurette from the FX Channel, When Mutants Attack Featurette, Deleted scenes, a trailer for the first installment, Birth of a Graphic Novel featurette which gives viewers an inside look at the Graphic novel prequel to 1 & 2, gag reel, alternate ending and the making of "Hills Have Eyes 2" featurette.
