In case you miss what's happening, one soldier wails, 'Oh, man, we're gettin' picked off one by one, here.'

Written, disappointingly, by Wes Craven and his son Jonathan, this limp sequel to last year's remake of Wes' 1977 original feels like the work of a guy who's spent a few too many days lost in the desert.

One man-versus-mutant dust-up ends with a sledgehammer to the groin. Enough said.

It's no better or worse than most films of its genre.

A retro horror-comedy featuring quick deaths and cheapo-looking gore, with a few dorky laughs and gross-outs but not so many scares.

For anyone other than hardcore gore-hounds, this flipbook of deliberately invoked global-unrest horrors, from friendly-fire killings to rape as a breeding weapon, is effectively mean and unrelenting -- and pretty far from fun.

...could have been more than a pale shadow of the original if the filmmakers had taken their time...

A shift underground is the one big new idea in the script which, a couple of neat reverses aside, is functional at best.

Gory sequel pits mutants against the military.

There is not any plot worth discussing: people go into a desert, some die. The end.

Well, no, they don't. If they did and if they could see, they would have read the script, passed on it, and we all would have been better for it.

A half-dozen impossibly good-looking, totally interchangeable National Guard recruits find themselves pitted against an angry army of impossibly ugly, totally interchangeable murderous mutants.

(The Hills Have Eyes) is a movie that wears its disdain for the viewer on every amateurish frame.

This is a nicely-appointed DVD release, with enough extras to almost fool you into thinking the movie is more than it is.

Better made than most low budget and derivative movies of its genre, but it just doesn't have enough to stand out as anything more than an improvement upon those dregs.

This horror fanatic doesn't have room for Craven in his genre anymore. Collect your cash and call it a day already, Wes...

a film as bloodily pointless as the current conflict in Iraq that it so unsubtly allegorises.
