About this movie

The hills are once again alive with the sound of screaming in Wes Craven's hugely entertaining follow-up to his own groundbreaking 1977 'The Hills Have Eyes'. A motocross team on their way to trial a new super-fuel head out across the desert lead by Rachel, who, unbeknownst to the rest of the group, is a survivor of the cannibal clan which menaced the Carter family several years before. Opting to take an ill-advised shortcut across the desert, the busload of youngsters drive straight into the path of the remnants of Rachel's demented cannibal kin - the menacing Pluto, and a hulking, blood-hungry brute by the name of The Reaper.

Ratings and reviews

This horror film is so charming imo. Nowhere near as good as the original. In fact, about 40% of the '76 film is reused, told in flashbacks (even the dog gets a flashback!), which would usually totally piss me off but here, I don't mind. Again, I love the new characters so much that I don't mind the cheese z-factor of the production. This film is never scary but really tries to be. The final girl is very pretty and also blind, making the final scenes a bit suspenseful (think: Wait Until Dark)👍

I hate this film. It is so bland and boring.
