An isolated desert research camp has been mysteriously abandoned, and now it's up to an elite unit of soldiers to uncover the truth about the scientists who vanished without a trace. Their attention soon diverted by a distress signal emitting from a distant mountain range, the squadron quickly regroups and sets out to investigate. Unbeknownst to the soldiers, however, is the fact that these are the very same hills where the Carter family recently fell prey to a flesh-eating pack of hideously deformed mutants. As the ranks of the cavalry unit steadily begin to dwindle, it soon becomes obvious that their guns provide little defense from an evil driven by hunger to commit the ultimate crime against humanity. Original Hills Have Eyes and Hills Have Eyes, Part 2 writer/director Wes Craven teams with son Jonathan to script this grim and unforgiving tale of man versus mutant. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Been quite a while since I watched it, but I faintly remember of having found it okay.
  • October 17, 2011
    Cast: Lee Thompson Young, Reshad Strik, Jessica Stroup, Ben Crowley, Michael McMillian, Daniella Alonso

    Director: Martin Weisz

    Summary: During their final day of desert training, six National Guard recruits (Michael McMillian, Jessica Stroup, Daniella Alonso, Lee Thompson... read more Young, Ben Crowley and Reshad Strik) find themselves up against an army of murderous mutants. They're faced with the ultimate opportunity to put their military skills to the test -- but will they pass?

    My Thoughts: "I haven't seen the first film and if it's anything close to this film, I think I will have to pass on it. The movie was just OK. I just didn't care for it and there wasn't anything that made me want to watch it again. It was gross and there was a lot of gore which always makes a lame horror film better. But nothing else good about it. The script was whatever and the acting was awful. I guess if you liked the first you may want to see this. But if it's anything like this one, then you may be better off on passing on it."

    Of all the Hills Have Eyes films, this is actually my favorite. This coming from a person who is so NOT a fan of sequels and remakes. I really got into the story and enjoyed watching the movie.
  • June 9, 2010
    The sequel to the 2006 remake is a little better than Aja's film. I preferred this film because it was a newer take on the storyline and it was a bit more disturbing than the first. I loved the gore and the violence, and this film will definitely not disappoint fans of the first ... read morefilm. A terrific film from start to finish, The Hills Have Eyes II is a thrills a minute sequel and serves even more blood than the first one. Decent acting with moments of sheer terror add to the nature of this sinister sequel, A film that terrifies as much as it entertains, this sequel is a whole new different take and serves a new chapter in The Hills Have Eyes storyline. A intense, horrifying film, this sequel delivers.

    Watching this is actually waste of time.

    Bloody sicko, terrible and scary of these freak mutants who are tracking a group of National Guard trainees in the desert. I always let out a groan of disappointment when a sequel replaces civilian characters with the military. Soldiers are always so lazily written and never fail... read more to thoroughly bore with crude caricatures of strutting macho bullshit.

    Needless to say, every character is a broad and generic cliché. They act in dumb and illogical ways, making dumb and illogical decisions that lead them to predictably dumb and illogical deaths.
    Horror remake of 1985's The Hills Have Eyes II.

    Turned it off halfway through, because it is probably the worst attempt at a horror film I've ever seen. It's just more like a gross gore flick than a horror flick!

    Abhorrently incompetent

In case you miss what's happening, one soldier wails, 'Oh, man, we're gettin' picked off one by one, here.' Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

Written, disappointingly, by Wes Craven and his son Jonathan, this limp sequel to last year's remake of Wes' 1977 original feels like the work of a guy who's spent a few too many days lost in the desert. Full Review

One man-versus-mutant dust-up ends with a sledgehammer to the groin. Enough said.

It's no better or worse than most films of its genre. Full Review

Gregory Kirschling

Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly

A retro horror-comedy featuring quick deaths and cheapo-looking gore, with a few dorky laughs and gross-outs but not so many scares. Full Review

Jim Ridley, Village Voice

For anyone other than hardcore gore-hounds, this flipbook of deliberately invoked global-unrest horrors, from friendly-fire killings to rape as a breeding weapon, is effectively mean and unrelenting -... Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

The new movie is a pre-combat nightmare, whereas the first -- Alexandre Aja's effective 2006 remake of Craven's low-rent 1977 original -- was pure post-nuclear paranoia. Full Review

You'd like to think such bankruptcy of imagination means we've seen the last of these subterranean creeps. But you know they'll be back soon to collect their royalties from the gore hounds who apparen... Full Review

Although the ads warn, 'The lucky ones die fast,' the truth is, 'The smart ones walk out early.'

The film may not be as scary as its predecessor, but it will make you think twice before you use a Porta Potti again. Full Review
