7/10
Wasn't that bad...
16 August 2007
You hear lots of comments on how absolutely horrible this movie was. While I agree that this movie was not as good as The Hills Have Eyes (2005), this movie isn't horrible. There are some decent jump scenes, probably around 5. There is also lots of gore, and it's not the pointless gore that you see in some movies, it has a point to the mutants- its their food. But the story line is average at best, it needs more character development. The acting is not noticeably good or bad. The title still fits, the hills do have eyes, but its not as creepy.

This movie is entertaining. Although some parts are illogical and drawn out, the majority of this movie is okay. The story line in THHE2 is not as logical as it is in THHE 2005. In the 2005 remake of THHE, you get the sense of 'This could happen in real life (well sort of anyway)' which makes it all the more creepy and scary. Even without the jump scenes, it would have been creepy. Another thing that helps the first one is that you don't get to see the mutants until 45 minutes into the movie, which makes you wonder, but when you do see them you are (happily) scared. But in the 2nd the mutants are in your face from the very beginning, and it is too difficult to imagine what happens as real, therefore you aren't particularly scared.

All in all, this movie is not bad. It's not anything special in my opinion, but I believe it is worth watching. It deserves about a 6 or 7 out of ten.

Therefore I would say, 7/10.
