Watch The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 For Free

Absolutely Fantastic

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A group of bikers, which includes some of the survivors from the original film, embark on a journey by bus to a biker race near the desert of the infamous incidents. However, because of a mistake they are late and decide to take a shortcut through the desert.So, allegedly Wes Craven disowned this movie, claiming he only made it for the money. Sounds plausible. Unlike "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Hills" was not a film that needed a sequel. (Somehow, we have since ended up with a remake and sequel...) On the plus side, we have horror icon Michael Berryman, and Kevin Spirtas (who is better known to horror fans for "Friday the 13th Part VII"). So, while this is a pretty poor excuse for a horror film, it at least has a few familiar faces.

Terrible, terrible and terrible, Wes, what the heck. I love all of Wes Craven's films but this was just terrible. Like I have mentioned by my summary it falls off of the original in many ways. Looking at it now, there was no need for this stupid and pointless sequel.The acting is OK but the characters are dumb, Pluto is not scary, the other cannibal is not convincing, the story is just muddled and goes down hill as it continuous on, the music gets lame, the deaths are done in the worse way possible and why have we got flashbacks from the first film??? Is this supposed to cover up on how crap it is already.I know I'm bashing on this film rapidly but this was just cheap and disrespectful for how Suspenseful and,... how much of a masterpiece the 1977 film is.People complain about how terrible other horror films such as: "Seed of Chucky", "Friday the 13th Remake", "Fthe13th Pt. 8". I have seen so many crappy horror films like "Day of the Dead Remake", "Jason Goes 2 Hell" and many more but this was just poor. And i thought those films where bad.Most of Wes Craven's films are suspenseful, full of scares and absolutely excellent no matter how old they get, but this film (in my book) won't ever be remembered.I don't give this a 5, 4 or 3 out of 10. I give it a 2/10.

Admittingly Wes Craven claimed he made this sequel to disturbing and scary hit The Hills Have Eyes for some quick cash. This being said, the movie was made very fast and effort was minimal at best or so it seems. A plus is that the same music score director from Friday the 13th is aboard for this sequel. Only drawback is this film compared to Friday the 13th in a lesser sense, as death scenes were comparative and most of them were un-exciting. Parts I found interesting were Ruby's return to the desert as a civilized human now, the number of remaining mine cannibals, and the amount of buildings. This film was far less brutal than the original however many flashbacks and references connected the two well enough to be franchised. I physically burst out laughing to the canine flashback scene, I wont spoil it and tell you what happened but I will remind you its infamous and applaudable. This was a somewhat entertaining 87 minutes of an 80s horror sequel and may be valuable to have viewed for the upcoming The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007). 80s horror sequels comparable to this film include: The Return of the Living Dead Part II, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, Friday the 13th Part II, and The Howling II. I gave this film 6 stars because I am a true fan of Wes Craven and his horror masterpieces even if this one is a pull it out of his behind piece of work, I also enjoyed the remake tremendously and look forward to the forthcoming sequel.

"The Hills Have Eyes Part II" is nowhere near as bad as it's reputation seems to suggest.**SPOILERS**Trying to get over his fear of the desert, Bobby, (Robert Houston) agrees to go on a dirt-bike expedition with friends Roy, (Kevin Spirtas) Cass, (Tamara Stafford) Harry, (Peter Frechette) Rachel, (Janus Blythe) Hulk, (John Laughlin) Foster, (Willard E. Pugh) Jane, (Colleen Riley) and Sue, (Penny Johnson) and get lost on a side road. Searching an abandoned house, Pluto, (Michael Berryman) and Reaper, (John Bloom) attacks them and begins systematically killing them one by one. Gathering every ounce of strength they have as a group, they fight back against the murderous pair.The Good News: As one of the most maligned films in the genre, this wasn't expected to be all that good. The fact that its mostly just a carbon copy of the first isn't really that damaging, as it allows for a constant stream of action scenes throughout the film. The dirt-bike and ensuing foot chase through the mountains through various caverns is a wonderful action sequence. The large amount of suspense played out in the cavern sequence in the end was a great highlight, as the novel idea of having the main character in that sequence being blind was able to make some new ideas out of a clichéd experience. It's quite nice to see something that had been taken through all of the possible explorations, but then to add a great new gimmick that actually adds some suspense to the proceedings. It's quite nerve-wracking to see them wander through the situations unaware of what's out there and there's no way for it to change. The fact that it changes styles over the first one and becomes more of a stalk-and-slash film is a nice change of pace and adds a little more to the film. Overall, this wasn't as bas as some say.The Bad News: Even though it wasn't all that bad, there's still a couple things wrong. The plot is a virtual retread of the first one, and the situation to get them involved with the group is a step-by-step repeat of before. It really doesn't try anything new here, and instead goes mainly for new traps and more characters. That doesn't really make it all that different from the first one. The fact that it's so maligned is based mostly around that and it's cheese factor, which doesn't bode too well for most movies. This one tries to rise against it with a couple of great moments, but the fact that it's so cheesy and clichéd is the major source of complaint. I didn't have too many problems with this one.The Final Verdict: Far better than it's reputation will give it, but don't compare it to the original and it might be interesting. Take it on it's own merits, and you might find yourself enjoying it a lot more than you would.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and a very brief, mild sex scene
