pFor die-hard horror fans, iThe Hills Have Eyes 2/i is a knock-off remake/sequel that delivers a few queasy thrills. While it represents a minor improvement over the 1985 sequel to Wes Craven's 1977 original (you know, the one with the notorious "canine flashback"), it's yet another cookie-cutter exercise in death by stupidity, focusing its Aliens-in-the-desert plot on a scrappy, ill-tempered unit of National Guard soldiers who've been sent to investigate the first remake's hellish aftermath in the bomb-tested wastelands of Nevada. (Like its far-superior 2006 predecessor, this sequel was shot on location in Morocco.) Unfortunately these bickering recruits are an embarrassment to their inauthentic-looking uniforms, and their reckless inexperience (not to mention a tired, uninspired screenplay by Craven and his son Jonathan) makes them easy targets for the ravenous, irradiated mutants who dwell within a treacherous network of tunnels and caves. As the generically good-looking cast is reduced to a few terrorized survivors (which somehow doesn't stop costars Jessica Stroup and Daniella Alonso from looking like fashion models), music-video director Martin Weisz switches to auto-pilot in his dubious feature debut, serving up a basically plotless succession of grisly makeup FX by Howard Berger and his crack team of gore-mongers. The gross-out factor is sufficiently amusing (including one soldier pulled through a hole with one leg in the totally wrong direction), but even devoted horror connoisseurs will have to admit this is pretty lame stuff. --iJeff Shannon/i/p brp span class="h1"strongBeyond iThe Hills Have Eyes 2/i/strong/span table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" tr align="center" valign="top" class="tiny" td width="33%" img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/11S97CNC46L._AA90_.jpg" border="0"brAll iHills Have Eyes/i Movies/td td width="33%" img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/11bztoKFAcL._AA90_.jpg" border="0"briThe Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning/i/td td width="33%" img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/015WMFD504L._AA90_.jpg" border="0"briWes Craven: The Art of Horror/i/td /tr /table brbrbr span class="h1"strongStills from IThe Hills Have Eyes/I /strong/span table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"p p tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/HHE_1.jpg"br /tdp tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/HHE_2.jpg"br /td tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/HHE_3.jpg"br/tdp tr align="center" valign="top" tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/HHE_4.jpg"br /tdp tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/HHE_5.jpg"br /td tdimg border="0" src="http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/HHE_6.jpg"br p /td /tr /table /p

 Attempts To Make Political Statement But Fails to Deliver June 23, 2008
Todd and In Charge (Miami, FL)

I disagree with those who view this as a simple slashfest, detached from the political points about the military and the "American Family" that the first remake constructed so well. br / br /For me, there is a clear parallel between the National Guard unit fighting a deadly, mysterious enemy in a desert environment, and the wars going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, the training exercise in the beginning of the movie, in which the raw recruits trust an Afghan woman who is in actuality a suicide bomber, is reprised near the end, when the survivors are asked to trust a mysterious hilldweller who is attempting to lead them to safety. br / br /I am not saying the hillpeople-as-terrorists theme works, just that it appears to have been something in the mind of the filmmakers. They do wind up simply going for the gore and thrills, which to me were fairly well-rendered in the abandoned caves below. br / br /Not worthy as a successor to the excellent 2006 remake, but not as bad as some of the reviewers seem to find it. As they set up yet another sequel at the end, I wonder what's left to do with those crazy cannibals up in Sector 16.
