A team of trainees of the National Guard brings supply to the New Mexico Desert for a group of soldiers and scientists that are installing a monitoring system in Sector 16. They do not find anybody in the camp, and they receive a blurred distress signal from the hills. Their sergeant gathers a rescue team, and they are attacked and trapped by deformed cannibals, having to fight to survive.
Hills Have Eyes II, The The hills are alive with the sound of mutants - and the US military - in the fourth instalment of Wes Craven's 30 year cannibal run
First, some history. The original The Hills Have Eyes (1977) was a cruel, endearingly amateurish and unapologetically red-blooded exploitation flick. Well, orange-blooded - hey, it was the 1970s. Bald men tried to eat babies, a civilised family stooped to the same level as the savages attacking them and nobody lived happily ever after.
The gleefully lame 1985 follow-up The Hills Have Eyes Part II, a show-me-the-money sequel in which even the dog has a flashback to the events of the first film, evinced a d...
Horror sequels and remakes? What they usually signify is one more trip to the well, with a bucket of blood.

This time, though, the victims are National Guardsmen, the issues include training and equipment, and the entire scenario adds up to an unmistakable critique of the war in Iraq.
The politics of Hills 2 won't enlist any new converts to the horror ranks, but...
The film has no brain 2
Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes remains one of my favourite horror films of all time; gritty, funny and relentless.
I quite liked Aja's updating which made the film more of a 'fantasy' but had enough visual inventiveness and good pacing to keep me engrossed.
The Hills Have Eyes 2 came along hot on the heels of Aja's remake, doubtlessly to cash in on its success and it's a disaster. Despite some attempts at topicality the dialogue is pretty flat and the story non-existent - its just a group of soldiers being picked off one by one.
This tedious excuse for a few gore effects strung together on the thinnest of plots had more than outstayed its welco...
