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

Consensus: The Hills Have Eyes 2 is a completely unoriginal sequel offers plenty of gore and clichés, but few scares.

Synopsis: After a group of hapless National Guard troops fails a training exercise, their commanding officer (Flex Alexander, SNAKES ON A PLANE) orders them to deliver supplies to some scientists in Yuma... After a group of hapless National Guard troops fails a training exercise, their commanding officer (Flex Alexander, SNAKES ON A PLANE) orders them to deliver supplies to some scientists in Yuma Flats, New Mexico. The mutants from the first film (the unfortunate victims who live on nuclear testing ground) have returned to terrorize a group of Department of Defense researchers. The unlucky soldiers happen upon the remains of their camp (and its denizens), and the horrors begin. The inbred family of cannibals stalks the soldiers and picks them off, one by one, in gruesome fashion. Alejandre Aja (HIGH TENSION) directed the 2006 remake, but this sequel replaces Aja with Martin Weisz, whose first feature, ROHTENBERG, was banned in his native Germany. Written by genre master Wes Craven and his son Jonathan, THE HILLS HAVE EYES II is a sequel to the remake of Craven's original 1977 film. It's no coincidence that Craven changed this sequel's victims from a band of motorcyclists to a group of unlucky soldiers, giving the film political undertones. For a brief moment, this film addresses the idea that war may be the worst kind of horror, even when it's judged against mutant cannibals. [More]

Reviews for The Hills Have Eyes II
The DVD also includes some great stuff on it such as an interesting alternate ending, some really good featurettes on making the mutants, the stars and more, an interview with Wes Craven, deleted scenes and much more.
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.
