    This movie is trying to be to its prequel what Aliens was to Alien, the kickass sequel with marines in it. And that works for about half of the movie. The set up is actually pretty good, with quite a few gory shockers and a situation that is different enough from the first. The s...( read more)ometimes pretty stupid decisions the soldiers take, as they have to find their way through the hills of mutated miners, can be explained with them still being in training, at least partially. Like in part one, it's the liberal thinking, seemingly weak characters that develop into the true heroes, which makes the body count order a tad predictable but is still nice to see. Once the soldiers enter the mines, things get very repetitive, sadly. Once again there is rape, then lots of dark tunnels, that all look the same, the final battle with the meanest of the mutants is quite similar to the one from part one. Remember, when a giant pervert strangles you but has an open head wound, poke it. So after a good start the second half disappoints, but at least Jessica Stroup is extremely gorgeous to look at.

    Pretty much more of the same but not quite as intense and a bit too predictable. However still a pretty good horror and quite brutal, gory just like the first.

    Well, as expected it was sick and demented... I thought the mutants were freakier and more disgusting than the first. I thought this one was a little more predictable which I didn't like. But it was entertaining and slightly more funny than the first...

    All I really want to say is that the gore was "Lush!" I can't really think of any other reason to watch this but, then again, if you aren't into gore then this isn't the kind of film for you in the first place. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    Of course, it's a sequel to a remake and th...( read more)e title makes things as confusing as hell. The original "Hills Have Eyes 2" was completely crap though so perhaps it's better to think of this as the replacement.
    Anyway, I loved the gore, wasn't interested in the acting or characterisation, and found the soldiery stuff to be totally unconvincing. Having said that, the action scenes were great, the jump scares worked and, yet again, although it's not scary to anybody over the age of 13, it was quite a decent try at getting the "Hills" franchise back on track.
    I have no idea why they filmed it in Morocco using equipment from London or why KNB only admit to doing the make-up effects rather than all the practical effects. It all looks like KNB work anyway... and it's lush!
    This was much better than the first remake and I'm now quite looking forward to "The Hills Have Eyes III".

    Was so scary as much as the First Part . It was a good ending ..hope it has no part 3 ..
  • November 2, 2009
    JUST LIKE THE FIRST REALLY BUT WITH THE EXTRA BITS OF HUMOUR AND MORE GORE!
  • October 29, 2009
    Oh god, what a boring movie. I fell asleep. Well, I was sitting on my couch...

    Better and more gore then the first one, a more responsive story and better actors in a better remake in a long time.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

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

March 26, 2007
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

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

March 24, 2007
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

The film's defining emblematic moment comes when a man crawls out of a Port-O-Potty covered in feces, thereby providing an approximation of the audience's experience. full review

    I liked the first one, but this one i felt put the first to shame! The kind of movie you wouldnt mind watching a couple times. If you like the hair on the back of your neck to stand up that is!
