The Hills Have Eyes, Part 2 (1985)
Member Rating:  
This atrocious sequel to the 1977 horror classic is padded with so much of that film's footage that it seems more like a rerun than a new story. The entire cast seems to have lengthy flashbacks of the previous movie's events, including -- in what must be a cinematic first -- the German shepherd dog. The remaining screen time is spent on an uninvolving battle between some bland motocross bikers and the cannibal hillfolk. To be fair, director Wes Craven has stated that the film was extensively tampered with prior to release. That may get Craven off the hook, but doesn't make this muddled mess any easier to watch. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

    I saw this movie because I was such an enormous fan of the original, and the remake. However, I was very dissapointed in this one. I tried to enjoy this movie on several different levels and failed to find a redeaming factor. It ended up leaving me with memories of "Jeepers Creepers 2" with the bus-load of kids doomed from the start story line. Overall, the tie in to the original 'Hills' was extremely weak, with several uneffective relatives invented and inserted for no good reason. Dont waste your time, unless you've seen about everything else out there.

    No go here on this one folks. I like bad horror movies... but this, this just boring. Stick with the first.

    The original was great and I think they should have left it that way. The remake wasn't as well written, and I really didn't get much into this since I ended up ironing my clothes halfway through the movie while watching it. For a classic movie, this one can be up there with some of the worse, but if you want to know how it continues, by all means check it out.
