an all right movie. better than the 1985 version but no where near as good as the remake. thhe2 would have been better if Aja stayed. some parts of the movie were violent and bloody. i liked this when i first saw it but after that nope. the movie wasn’t a huge dissapointment but could have been alot better. they could have waited for Aja to finish P2 b4 they started making the movie. Aja made the 1st awesome and could made this one awesomer.
I actually enjoyed this flick. I found the plot rather thin but there was plenty of drama and “mucho mutant mayhem” !
Awful. Awful. Awful. Can you believe that TWO Cravens (father & son) hatched this on us? The parallels to the Iraq War are laughable and disrespectful. A flacid attempt to keep a lame-ass franchise afloat. A few good kills here and there, but as a whole this cannibal snuff-fest is a miserable experience. Avoid like the plague.
I am not one that is into all the politics or military mumbo jumbo but come on. They actually tried to pull it off. I rented this and I am so glad I didn’t buy it. I would have felt almost as dumb as the time I watched the first Hills Have Eyes. Which brings me to my next point….remakes are most likely going to be garbage unless Tom Savini has something to do with it. He should have helped the Cravens out a little, it might not have been this big of a steaming pile of sh**. Speaking of sh**….
the Porto-potty scene was funny, thats it……this one is for the garbage can or you could be more creative than the writing staff and use this disc as a frisbee or coaster for your drink.- MyOwnAutopsy

It was pretty damn good.
More messed up then the first one. Most people didnt like it but I thought it was really good. Acting was really bad though. I mean “Shit Man the Barbarian”, who comes up with that shit.
good movie !!!
I honestly did not like this at all. I was incredibly disappointed after the great, GREAT original movie (erm… can it really be called an “original” movie?). This is truly awful.
meh
Loved it…
This movie was awesome….!
“‘The Hills Have Eyes 2′ is a horror picture about a group of national guard rookies fighting what appears to be cave trolls. The movie starts with a birth-giving scene and contains one and a half rape sequence. That’s all you have to know about the plot.
Horrible, cliché ridden and predictable script with dull conversations, bad to mediocre directing and gaping logic holes, racist stereotype characters and monsters that look like trolls from a straight to DVD fantasy movie, rather than mutated freaks, make this movie already a terrible mess when finally a guest appearance of “Sloth” from “The Goonies” hands it the final blow, turning it ultimately hilarious albeit in a tragic kind of way. What’s almost as annoying as the cheesy dialogs and terribly bad monster costumes is the CONSTANT use of jump scares at blatantly obvious moments, making them obsolete and lose all the impact they might have had if a more skilled director would have placed them at least a bit more carefully.
Overall this movie is terrible and shouldn’t be watched by anyone. ” –Captain-Spaulding, imdb.com
People that rated this movie up,seriously, like seriously. This movie was complete and utter crap. The acting and everything. Horrible crap!
The only reason I’m giving it a full skull is because the weird deformed people looked pretty cool I guess. But thats the only reason.
GOOD AND FUN MOVIE but not as good as the original and some people must stop throwing crap at this movie it was good ok end of the story so stop bitchin about it
not the worst movie i’ve seen, but damn sure not the best.
The first one was awful enough to have put me off seeing a sequel indefinitely. However, I was trying to find a movie to fall asleep to one night and this happened to be on HBO at like 1 a.m. Sure enough, it put me to sleep. There’s just something dull about this, unoriginal and completely pointless. Worse than the first by a great deal and even if I hadn’t actually anticipated seeing it, I wish it had been a bit more interesting.
Though maybe I’m being too harsh as I didn’t see the entire thing. I fell asleep halfway through.
While the original remake was terrible, it still had coherence to a plot, which is something this film has never heard of. An utterly laughable and embarrasingly bad film. The plot is as deformed as the mutants, the characters are carboard props who serve no purpose other than to get hacked to pieces and whose vocabulary ranges from “shit” to “fuck”. Terrible film, but the original remake really isn’t all that much better, and gore-wise, I actually enjoyed this film a lot more.
It was a pretty entertaining hollywood flik
Not as good as the first one but it does a good job with the gore. The intro scene was gross and locked me in for the rest of the movie.
The remake was one of the greatest movies ever made and some people might hate for this but it was better than the original yep i said it. And the sequel well it was not as good as the original but we got a fun ride filled with blood and gore so what do people want from wes craven. Sure the mutants looked a bit like retards because the ones from the original were really smart and fucking scary and the story of this one wasnt very original but there were lots of killings and the soldiers were a bit smart but sometimes cliche and i think the poster was creepie like the original i couldnt stop laughing when a guy appears from the toilet and the other guy scream shit man! so dont be so harsh and just enjoy.
Nowhere compares to the remake one, although the idea of going mostly into the mines was good because there isnt much you can do with the desert mutants and what not. I think a third should be made, direct to dvd, and i think it should focus on the remaining mutants completely running out of human food and fighting each other and killing each other off.
Badass movie. Sure the dialogue was terrible and some of the actors were pretty bad, but it was well directed and had some excellent gore. Don’t expect to take this movie very seriously, just have fun with it
sure the plot is dumb and the dioluge but i sure had fun watchin people and mutants die
I like this movie for one reason. If you work at a job where you have to change the cherry syrup bags on a frozen drink machine, you can reenact the opening scene. Freakin’ great. One star bonus for that.
The movie opened amazingly but it was a steep drop off from there.
At times, unintentionally funny.
Drowning in shit?
Really?
The mutants were fun and nice to look at and all the kills weren’t THAT bad but the human characters were just boring and unlikeable.
Also, nothing shocking.
At least the remake could boast it had the infamous trailer rape scene.
This one has little to offer compared to its predecessor.
Writing credits: Wes Craven (written by) & Jonathan Craven (written by)Wes Craven (characters)…call me crazy but I’ve heard Alex Ala having anything to do with this sequel and you guys have him down as a writer.
Rather rub poo in my eyes than see this again. On the same level of bad as Wes Craven’s sequel.
Not nearly as bad as the BD review makes out… jesus. It had terrible friggin acting (funny so) but the death scenes were pretty creative and alot of fun and its always fun seeing those whacked mutants again. And + isent a movie like this meant for the kills?? How cool and unique can we get?? — that being said the first one And the original were far better
Was not a huge fan of this movie. I thought the first was a hell of a lot better then this one. The rape scene disturbed me a lot
I’ve seen a lot worst….
I think the movie was pritty bad. I liked the idea of them going into the caves. But it fell way short. I was looking forward to being as good as the remake. But sadly it didn’t deliver. Maybe will see better work from gorge romero in the future.
Honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It lacked everything that made the first one so good. The first one was really horrifying, as was its remake but this one was a blatant attempt at targeting the less than dedicated fans of this genre who may not know any better than to avoid at all costs movies where the original director has jumped ship. The first scene really had me sucked in, only to let me down more than I though possible. The scares were predictable if not tacky, (the porta potty scene). The mistakes were so numerous, I found myself getting distracted completely from the movie. The only bad thing about putting the military into movies is that they are hardly ever accurately portrayed. For another awful example, see the remake of Day of the Dead, the one with Nick Cannon. Overall, a terrible movie and I will always regret those 90 mins misspent.
Complete rubbish. You think being written by Wes Craven and his son it would have been decent but no, a complete travesty. The dialouge was well, dire , no suspense and totally boring . The rape scene towards the end was utterly disgusting. Dont bother, watch the Aja once instead, far superior.
Just average… this could have been a lot better had it not been for the incorporation of such an unrealistic bunch of marines. Aja’s is far superior and should definately be viewed before this cluncker
I thought the first was a hell of a lot better then this one.but i still enjoyed it
once again who let the idiots of the world rate this movie? this movie had good acting, a good plot, and good gore to top it off. sometimes i think there are no horror fans on this website just horror critics
This movie had verry little ties to the previous film. Witch maybe the problem with the film to alot of you people. I knew what I was getting into when I first saw the movie the film was exactly what I thought it was going to be less plot more violence. Also their was no returning cast members. This movie is esentually a B movie but a entertaining one at that. Although a contination of the preious film could have been interesting.
OK. Although I would’ve preferred the original plot of Brenda Carter joinging the army, and going back, her actress Emilie De Raven was to busy shooting “Lost” to join this cast. The movie was ok to watch but, is no where near as great as its preceeder. The plot was crap, with the mutants now living in the mountains, not in the mines, what the hell?.
The plot was stupid because the mutants are different characters, they live in the mountains now and not in the mines, unless this is a different part of the Sector, but I don’t care.
The acting was ok, with Jessica Stroup stealing the limelight as the strong newcomber to the force.
Overall “The Hills Have Eyes 2″ is not a great sequel but an allright movie by itself. My rating is 3/5
The first half an hour was great it was gory and fun but the next half wasn’t very good. The soldiers decided to go to in the tunnel where you cant see a thing! You couldn’t see what was going on! Thats what spoiled it. The Hills Have Eyes 1 is a lot better just watch that and don’t bother with this one its a rip off
**
Out Of
*****
it was what it was a movie about desert freaks.
good better than the BD review gave it credit for not as great as the first movie, but certainly not a bad movie and not worth the criticism it recieves
Godawful… There’s nothing else to describe this wretched suckquel other than that word. Can’t believe Wes Craven is responsible for this abomination.
hahaha man i was so looking forward to this. but what a disappointment, the worst piece of shit film ive seen in the past 10 years. not one redeeming quality to this garbage. worst acting, worst death scenes and a loveable down syndrome mutant like goonies?????? wtf!!! wes craven should denounce this and say they drugged him and faked his signature to greenlight this insult to horror.
I haven’t seen the first one,but I heard it’s better than this.
I didn’t really like it. It was boring but i guess it’s because I wasn’t paying attention but when I was it was bad. Exept some parts.
2/10
Terrible acting,descent gore,snuff film, Ewe Boll could of made a better sequel,Epic failure.
just crap
This movie was more funny than scary. didnt like the whole military thing, but the “monsters”/”inbred folk” were cool.
“Make Baby” had me rolling!
this movie was godawful.
i hated this movie with a passion.
totally offensive in every way possible.
wasnt scary, just a waste of time.
one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen.
This is a very good horror movie. If you wanna get scared then c this movie. Its 1 of the most disturbing movies ive ever seen. Idk if its better than the first but its very close. Very gory and bloody and disturbing.
portapotty jack in the box man and slimy tounge deepthroat rape ways give this abused hooker of a film two stars for them two things mentioned but even at that don’t see this piece of old hardened cake that’s been in the fridge since last Thanksgiving.
The first was great, but this wasn’t so good. The Hills Have Eyes 2 is set in the same place as the first, with a similar plot and some re – cycled ideas. But, The Hills Have Eyes 2 is a gory as hell slasher movie, but doesn’t do enough to get a great score. It isn’t that scary, but has some jumps in there to make you look away, but again, nothing that special. The make up effects of the canibals are basically the same, with some obvious mistakes in there, but, it trys hard enough to provide good entertainment.
Overall, a gory as hell horror movie, but just not enough to make it better than the first. But, roll on the third!
6/10
nothing to get excited about, but it has its moments
It was a really bad movie but still a bit entertaining if you don’t have anything else to do. If you compare it to the first one from 2006 and the original from 1977(That doesnt seem to have any page on this site! Shame on you Bloody Disgusting!) this movie is complete crap.
The mutants almost look the same all of them. They are not as creative as the ones in the fisrt film thats for sure. Still it is a bit entertaining so 3/10.
While obviously this film wasn’t better than Alex Aja’s Remake, it was still pretty entertaining to me. There were some cool gory moments and the acting while bad wasn’t atrocious. Defintely worth a look if your a gore hound.

This film was terrible in my opinon. I remember waiting for it to come out and when i saw it i couldn’t believe what i paid for. Maybe a movie rental but not worthy of owning.
It was as if they gave no thought at all to this remake but instead just threw together the plot at the last second. Don’t waste your time with this one.
Forget anything about plot or story structure. This film is all about the gore! The action is fast and furious, the body count is high and the violence is extreme! There is one kill that is groin grabbling painful to watch. Yes its utterly ridiculous but thats what makes it fun.
Just bad which is a shame because the remake was great.
Was the acting bad? Yes. Did certain characters make very stupid / unrealistic decisions? Yes.
However, I gotta say I really enjoyed this film.
The kills were all solid and the mutants were pretty cool.
I feel like the people giving it negative reviews didnt “get it”.
and holy shit at the rock monster dude lol that was so freakin weird!
This sequel to the first Powerful/Out-standing Remake Movie is a let down & abit disppointed as the first one was soo good this one jut over the top & rape pron is disgusting (making the Female carry on there genertions is really sick). The driecting was OK & the writing was decent, while the acting was averge, but the two main female leads were very believable. The Movie is worth a watch but it will or it wont satisfaction fans of Horror, while having some good action & death in there (is was a let down for me).
I LOVED the first one, I thought that the second one was based on the survivors, Then when I saw that the army was involved I thought “Holly shit, this is gonna be fun.” I was soo disapointent, I even skpped school,lied to my parents, & spend like 15 bucks just to see this.
It sucked.(period)
Why the fuck would a hannible help out a couple of humans, even tho he eats there remainds, & WTF is up with the ending, How the hell are they going to get out of that Area when there Car “Burned” to ashes.
I liked the idea of Women carring on the generation, but Is that chick that got raped, is she going to have one of those things, for a part 3?
fast paced and not a bad plot.suspense is missing though.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
total shit fest. 20th century fox should’ve dumped this loser to DVD, and given Wrong Turn 2 a theatrical release. At least that film was 1000000x more entertaining, had better acting, better characters, better gore, and was just overall 100% a better movie. i hated this film so much. i was so mad that this is what they came up with. i just can’t believe that the hills remake was absolutely terrific, and then it’s followed up with this crap
Utter crap don’t waste your time on this one.
really creepy, not as good as the 1st one though:), the ending was alright, i hear that their making a 3rd one!:) yay!! lol hopefully its good and i want the survivors form the 1st films to come back i miss them lol
Good Good
Nice creepy environment
OK right off the bat this movie relies on gore not scares. I loved the first one and couldn’t wait for the second one. I am REALLY disappointed with this movie. There wasn’t any scares just gore.
I’m disappointed with Wes Craven on this movie. I wasn’t craven this movie.LOL.
2 out of 10
pretty good for a hated movie
I am a bit iffy on this film. The first remake was awesome, this one not so much. The story is just…bleh, yet the killing/gore scenes are good.
Bad.
A great sequel to an amazing remake!
Even with the extremely bad acting and you don’t care about the victims, this sequel is better than Hills Have Eyes. There, I said it.
Super gory and gross as hell. If you like B movies then this is definitely one to check out.
Hobo Approved(TM)
Sometimes I don’t know how BD do the reviews. The movie is equal or better than the previous and they put such crap. It is time to reconsider your reviews of the movies. Because I see very good movies review like crap and bad movies review like masterpieces. Begin to have the same evaluation parameters for all the movies and not rated by the personal likes.
Man, anything with Alex Aja involved in some way, I guess he co-wrote this, is worth your time. He’s a talent to watch out for. This is as good as the The Hills Have Eyes (modern era). Check it out. The old Wes Craven original(s) completely blow. The new ones are completely fucked-up and do not disappoint. Sick and punishing.
wasn’t as graphic or disturbing as the first, but definitely interesting.
I just saw this film last night and in my opinion this was a good sequel. Although it was not as good as the first it was still very entertaining. The acting in this film was not as good as in the first but still good. You all know the story of this film. Also the gore effects in this were well done and I just loved everything about this film. The acting,the gore,the mutants. Well if you are a fan of the first film I would highly highly recommend that you see this film and if you aren’t a fan of the first film you’d be wasting your time.
I don’t understand all the hate with this movie. Obviously the first one was way better, but this isn’t bad either. I went with a group of friends to see it in theaters, they all didn’t like it but I thought it was good. Good gore. Good enough story.
This movie was allright but i dont hate it.
This was a really good movie, but not as good as the first The Hills Have Eyes.
ANOTHER GREAT ADDITION TO THE HILLS HAVE EYES SERIES. This movie is a bit less realistic and dramatic as the first 1 and a bit more fun and crazy. Expanding the hills saying their are other families living in every nook and cranny. And the mutants in this movie are as disturbing and terrifying as in the 1st movie. Its not as serious as the 1st film but its a fun crazy addition that you should enjoy.
