For die-hard horror fans, The Hills Have Eyes 2 is a knock-off remake/sequel that delivers a few queasy thrills. While it represents a minor improvement over the 1985 sequel to Wes Craven's 1977 original (you know, the one with the notorious "canine flashback"), it's yet another cookie-cutter exercise in death by stupidity, focusing its Aliens-in-the-desert plot on a scrappy, ill-tempered unit of National Guard soldiers who've been sent to investigate the first remake's hellish aftermath in the bomb-tested wastelands of Nevada. (Like its far-superior 2006 predecessor, this sequel was shot on location in Morocco.) Unfortunately these bickering recruits are an embarrassment to their inauthentic-looking uniforms, and their reckless inexperience (not to mention a tired, uninspired screenplay by Craven and his son Jonathan) makes them easy targets for the ravenous, irradiated mutants who dwell within a treacherous network of tunnels and caves. As the generically good-looking cast is reduced to a few terrorized survivors (which somehow doesn't stop costars Jessica Stroup and Daniella Alonso from looking like fashion models), music-video director Martin Weisz switches to auto-pilot in his dubious feature debut, serving up a basically plotless succession of grisly makeup FX by Howard Berger and his crack team of gore-mongers. The gross-out factor is sufficiently amusing (including one soldier pulled through a hole with one leg in the totally wrong direction), but even devoted horror connoisseurs will have to admit this is pretty lame stuff. --Jeff Shannon

- Movie Review "The Hills Have Eyes 2"
This film put me on the edge of my seat!It delivered what I was looking for and expecting as a sequel!
For plain old all-American horror, this film is hard to beat!If you like an occasional nightmare, I sure can recommend this film to you!
Rating: 
- Sequel
It was an interesting addition to the first one, but the whole National Guardsmen ordeal I mean come on how could you possibly believe that... At least make them look like they would be in the Reserves.The usual blood and guts from the first one, all in all it was a decent movie.
Rating: 
- Still nowhere near Craven's flicks, but far better than the first remake.
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (Martin Weisz, 2007)
Weisz (60 Seconds) seems to have encountered rather virulent hatred from a good portion of the population for The Hills Have Eyes 2. Which should probably tip you off that this movie is better than the awful, awful remake it follows. After all, the American public at large has an incredibly well-documented lack of taste, especially when it comes to horror films. (Just look at at the foreign horror flicks that get a theatrical release in America ... Read More

- DISAPPOINTING SEQUEL TO THE GREAT FIRST FILM6.5 OUT OF 10
Critics and moviegoers generally panned The Hills Have Eyes 2, and sadly for obvious reasons that I can understand. I didn't think it was a bad film as a whole, just not that great. Unfortunately this sequel trades the original's suspenseful and creepy atmosphere in favor of gung-ho shoot 'em action which results in an unintentionally goofy adventure that makes a person laugh more than provide scares. While the first film had a solid plot, this film's plot is full of holes and is incoherent.

Rating: - There are worse ways to waste an hour and a half
Being in the Army myself, I found many of the details concerning the National Guard (or Nasty Guard as active duty Soldiers call them) to be laughable in their inaccuracies.That said, I found the movie to be enjoyable because it delivers on its premise: unprofessional and incompetent national guardsmen go up against some crazy mutants.In that vein, it has many similarities to the movie Southern Comfort (just replace crazed mutants with backwood hicks).Most importantly (at least for me), is that the ...
