Customer Rating:      Summary: Not bad, but not great. Comment: I was a huge fan of the first. The over all plot of this one made a lot of sense, but the execution wasn't nearly as well done as the first. I didn't really get a good feel for the characters, and it seemed to be more focused on shock and gore than actual psychological terror. It's not a bad movie, and I don't have an opinion whether people should see it or not. I don't regret watching it (or even owning it), but it's also not at the top of my list of great horror films.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not that interesting Comment: What can I say about a film of a hapless National Guard unit that gets cut to ribbons my inbred cave-dwellers? It's a battle between two groups of dim-wits. It promised some sleaze in that the inbreds need new women to breed with, but they cut the throat of the woman who gives birth. Way to go!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Much Better Than The Original "HIlls Have Eyes 2" Comment: If you loved the remake of "The Hills Have Eyes", then you will probably be disappointed in it's sequel "The Hills Have Eyes 2". While the remake was full of unrelenting horror, this sequel plays out as a more violent version of "Deliverance" or "Southern Comfort", or maybe a desert version of "Aliens". The basic storyline is that a group of national guardsman stumble into the lair of the atomically mutated cannibals from the first film.
I may be in the minority, but I really enjoyed this film. Sure it's cliche horror, with a group of stereotypes fighting for their lives, but "The Hills Have Eyes 2" is a fun ride if not taken too seriously. The claustrophic feel of the Aja remake is kept intact, but the heavy sense of dread that permeated Aja's film is absent. In it's place you have a fun story, loaded with gruesome special effects, heinous mutants and an exciting story.
If you are looking for another "disturbing" film along the lines of Aja's remake, the keep moving. On the other hand if you want a fun horror film that can get you cheering for both the good guys and the bad guys..pick this movie up. Besides, the port-a-potty scene is worth the price of the disk alone.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Hills 2 Comment: I only watched this because my husband liked the 1st one and wanted to see the 2nd. I didn't like the 1st one at all. As this isn't as bad as the 1st one I didnt really care for this one either. Still has the raping of women in it to get more of theyre twisted ppl. Watch the 1st one if you havent already and you'll get a feel of what the 2nd ones all about. Rent first!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: JUST PLAIN TERRIBLE ! Comment: This sorry excuse of a movie honestly deserves 0 stars. When it comes to horror movies I am a huge fan and I certainly don't mind sitting back and watching a film that has little story and lots of gore and suspense. A group of attractive people who are killed off one by one. We've all seen it before and it can be fun escape viewing.
But this movie doesn't even deliver this. They seem to be attempting a plot with the scientists at the very beginning and then the military involvement but the scenes at the beginning that are obviously meant for shock provide nothing as does everything that follows.
I honestly recommend this movie to no one. It is pretty sad when a movie with such low expectations can still fail to deliver.

National Guard soldiers stop at a New Mexican outpost only to find the isolated camp mysteriously deserted. Little do they know that these are the very hills that the ill-fated Carter family once visited, and that a tribe of cannibalistic mutants lies in wait.
