Movie Reviews of The Hills Have Eyes, Part 2
Movie Review: Where's the original on DVD?
Summary: 4 Stars
First things first, being the Wes Craven fan that I am I was proud to see Hills 2 come out on DVD, but where's the original? Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy this one too, but it's like part one has fallen off the face of the earth. The plot of this one is similar to part one(you even get good flashbacks to help you along) but to me Hills 2 is more action packed. Rather than having a family in a travel trailer being stranded, you have a bunch of hellraising friends on a bus(along with some awesome dirtbikes and alot af racing fuel) that seem to put up a better fight against "The Family". Thumbs up on the death scenes too! This is a classic 80's slasher flick that is well worth seeing, and for you Craven fans it's worth adding to your collection.Movie Review: Why BOTHER???
Summary: 1 Stars
When the first "Hills Have Eyes" came to my local drive in I was 18 or so. I went by myself in my VW and saw half of it. I left when the mutants stole the family's baby and were carrying it through the woods mumbling "mmm...tender baby....mmmm" and were going to cook and eat it. That was all I could take. It freaked me out. The film was already unpleasant and very disturbing but this scene ended it for me. I have never seen it since and don't care to. I watched part of this sequel on cable and couldn't finish it either but for a different reason...it was just plain AWFUL! Stupid to the extreme and poor on all counts. The first one was at least upsetting enough to bother me...so it must have worked on a terror level. But "Eyes 2" was ridiculous. I cannot recommend this at all. But if nerve wracking cruelty is your bag then see the first one. It's not really a horror movie at all ----it's just plain SICK.Movie Review: One of Cravens better films
Summary: 3 Stars
I viewed this film several years ago, when the USA network still aired their "Saturday Nightmares" horror showcase. The Hills Have Eyes still lingers in my mind as one of Wes Cravens finest directoral moments. Filmed in the same cinematic vein as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this gritty slasher flick centers around a clan of monsterous cannibals and their desert exploits. From start to finish their is a dreadful feeling of tension and suspense. I gave this film three stars, which is a mid-way rating. I reserve the higher rankings only for films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Zombie. Still, its is definitely worth checking out...and a much better use of time than wearing yourself out with all those Nightmare On Elm Street sequels!Movie Review: here we go again...
Summary: 1 Stars
"The Hills Have Eyes 2" is a poor, lame retread of "The Hills Have Eyes," which was a poor, lame retread of Tobe Hooper's vastly superior "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Writer-director Wes Craven is once again responsible for this cinematic mess, where a busload of stranded idiots wander around deserted buildings aimlessly before bald-headed savage Michael Berryman and his buddies come around to slaughter them. A cut-and-paste plot stolen from the first film, and was anyone really screaming for a sequel to "The Hills Have Eyes" in the first place?
