See i liked the hills have eyes 2

its all the wee bits in films that catch my eye,like the weird jizz stuff coming from the head inbreds mouth,stuff like that

although i do think the remake of the first the hills have eyes might be my favourite film ever.

and no thats no a joke:D

Horrible characters, not a single person to relate to or root for. Had the military group instead been a bunch of big, brute fuckers rather than a handfull of angsty teenagers it would have been far more interesting to watch. Still enjoyed the freaks though.

Not very good, but not terrible.

I did not care much for the Hills Have Eyes remake. Then again, I did not expect it to be an exploitation film (I've never seen the original) so


***POSSIBLE SPOILER***

the mutant rape scene just repulsed me and I didn't really see the point.


***/POSSIBLE SPOILER***


I still want to see the original, however, as I understand that it's a fairly iconic and influential film. I realize that it's still exploitative, but at least I'll know that going into it.

As for Hills Have Eyes 2 I honestly went into it ironically and planning on making fun of it the whole time, but I thought it wasn't that bad. I think that as an autonomous film, it was just fine. It's a siege action movie with army guys. And mutants. I thought that it was well directed and the bloody scenes were well done. The acting was pretty bad, but I enjoyed the fact that it was unflinchingly over the top but yet taking itself seriously at the same time. I also enjoyed how ridiculously cliched the main character Napoleon comes into himself to rise as the hero. I guess I like the camp factor of it.

Can't really explain it. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it to my horror-loving friends; Hills Have Eyes 2 is a guilty pleasure for me because I see that it honestly has very little cinematic value.

In the original 1985 version of The Hills Have Eyes 2 there's a scene where... a dog has a flashback.

It was ridiculous and hilarious but oddly enough I still dug the original sequel.
