The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007)

Nothing groundbreaking but still a fun time

[7/10 · 18 June 2022]

This film is the follow up to the fantastic 2006 remake of Wes Cravens 1977 original,This film is not a remake of the 1985 Hills Have Eyes 2 for those who didn't know. This films plot is pretty simple but works,It follows a group of national guards tainees who go to vist an outpost and are killed off by mutants in the hills. This film is a mixed bag,For the positives I can say the effects and gore in this movie are very well done for the most part and the movie moves at a good pace with out wearing thin with a runtime of 90 minutes. The begatives for this film would have to be that the characters,While not unlikable they don't really have anything going for them in terms of personality. The mutants in this movie have great make up effects but they all flow togeather and can't really tellm them apart unlike in the 06 film. The writing in this film is also a mixed bag,being writen bt Wes Craven and his son you would think it would have been slightly better. The ending to this film is also kinda annoying in that it ends on a cliff hanger and never got picked up. Issuies aside this movie is a fun time to kill a night with but nothing special. 7/10.
