The Hills Have Eyes 2
Just saw this film last night and I”ll try and review the contents of the movie without regard for the three bastards sitting in the back row chatting the entire time.
Uhhh, It was pretty bad. I remember being affected by the first movie a couple years ago. Walking out of that movie and realizing that I could never recommend that movie to anyone that I know because some of the imagery was so jarring and disturbing that I didn”t know anyone at the time that could handle it. It was that intense, I felt.
This movie starts with a pretty decent scene for a horror movie and then completely goes downhill from there.
This time the victims are not wayward travelers, but a squad of 9 National Guard on a delivery mission, who find that all is not well when they arrive at their destination.
A sorrier group of military I have never seen in a movie in my life. Immediately upon introducing them as characters one has to look at the screen quizzically and wonder, “This is a military unit?”
On another note, when seeing a mutant monster movie, one might expect that the characters would be killed by said mutants. Of the military people that get offed, only 2 of them come into physical contact with the enemy. For a mutant slasher movie, the killings were quite poor.
I”ll let you imagine how bad the acting actually was. I believe anyone in the film who was able to mutter a convincing line was killed the scene following said line.
And what happened to the make up effects? Couldn”t the masks from the first movie be saved? What passed as mutant make up for this movie was sub par to say the least, and the bar isn”t that high to begin with.
Much like the first movie, I couldn”t recommend this movie to anyone, but for different reasons all together.
