    A doggy flashback, a deluge of blind jokes (one of the main characters is blind), cannibals on motorcycles and a black man complaining that there aren't any discos in the desert. They are the unintentional best bits! It?s like a Friday the 13th film but instead of Jason we get a ...( read more)very unscary bald man and an even more unscary hairy man. I?ve seen better, I?ve seen worse!

    I hope Wes Craven got paid well for this craptatstic dequel from the 1980's. The one plus: Michael Berryman's return as Pluto.

    Wes Craven admitted in an interview that he needed to make some cash fast, would have happily 'directed Godzilla in Paris'. So he made a sequel to one of his well-made and enjoyable films.

    However, 'Hills Have Eyes 2' is a letdown. It seems to rely heavily on flashbacks to the...( read more) previous (superior) film and is really nothing more than a 'Friday the 13th' clone. It even has the same composer as the Jason films (Harry Manfredini) so much of the music in 'Hills 2' could make you think you're watching a 'Friday the 13th' sequel. This whole film is just a waste of time. The characters are so obnoxious you don't give a hoot what happens to them, the 'Papa Jupe's brother' business is glaringly contrived and unlikely and to cut a long story short I have trouble believing that this mess was by the same director who brought us the best of the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' films and 'Shocker'.

    Craven seems to slip with this one. Too bad, as the original is one of his best.

    Honestly this film is awesome and completely terrible at the same time. It will remain the only film I can think of that a dog (named Beast, from the original) has a flashback sequence. Bobby Carter (Bobby Houston) from the original makes a quick appearence at the beginning of th...( read more)e film. In addition, Ruby (Janus Blythe) returns as Rachel who is now civilized and in a relationship with Bobby. And finally, Pluto (Michael Berryman) returns as everyones favorite mutant! Also what makes this film odd is that cannibals can ride dirtbikes! This movie was seen as a complete disaster and failure that Wes Craven would later disown it.

    if you liked the first one you'll probably like this one. My opinion is that the only hills have eyes worth watching is the remake of the origonal.

    This movie is actually pretty awful, but worth watching for the "dog flashback" sequence.
