While the first remake successfully captured the original's disturbing edge, this one seems too dead-set on upping the ante.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 3, 2020

One of the worst sequels I've ever seen.

| Oct 19, 2018

As far as stuff like mood, atmosphere, tone, and intensity is concerned, this sequel is a completely empty vessel.

The only thing the lowly Hills 2 has going for it is the grossness, ferocity, and superhuman strength of the rampaging mutants. I mean, these guys put the ugh in ugly; they make the original's Michael Berryman look like a hunk.

...could have been more than a pale shadow of the original if the filmmakers had taken their time...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 2, 2009

The Hills Have Eyes 2 offers another round of dull, gory fright scenes that neither push the horror envelope nor exhibit any noticeable ingenuity.

There is not any plot worth discussing: people go into a desert, some die. The end.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 27, 2007

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

It sucks balls.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Aug 15, 2007

...dull and interminable...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 9, 2007

Well, no, they don't. If they did and if they could see, they would have read the script, passed on it, and we all would have been better for it.

| Original Score: D | Jul 26, 2007

Better made than most low budget and derivative movies of its genre, but it just doesn't have enough to stand out as anything more than an improvement upon those dregs.

This horror fanatic doesn't have room for Craven in his genre anymore. Collect your cash and call it a day already, Wes...

Maybe it's just time to put an end to this mutant circle of life, or at least send it straight to DVD from now on.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 25, 2007

Another shining example of the sorry state of horror filmmaking these days

| Apr 24, 2007

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 12, 2007

Haven't Our Soliders Suffered Enough?

| Apr 8, 2007

It never generates a real sense of dread or building pressure. Instead, it uses its feeble set-up to string together one grisly shock after another.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 7, 2007

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