Pretty Good
Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
The first must-see film of the year.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
That's the good thing, sometimes, about going in with zero expectations of a movie...you get pleasantly surprised. This is one example.Not bad acting, make up was pretty good...all in all, not the xomplcom waste of time I thought it would be. Will I watch it, again? No.But...it was worth a watch the first time around.
View MoreWow. Sorry Jonathan Craven, Your old man does it better. Repeats the formula of the first movie but eliminates any of the slithers of suspense seeing as we we have dudes with machine guns and grenades versus literally retarded people with axes. And several of them still manage to die. This movie will scare no one except complete wusses who get scared by a mouse. It will bore anyone who wishes to be entertained. It will anger and annoy anyone who wants a well made film. Finally, it will waste 90 minutes that could have been spent in more meaningful life pursuits, including, you know, watching a good movie.
View MoreIf you're in the mood for carnage candy and a mindless fun story-line then the modern Hills Have Eyes sequel is a good play. At first the movie seems like it was going to be painfully awful to watch with such poor acting and a sloppy start to the story. However, the film seems to embrace its cheesy plot, dialogue and kill scenes in an effective way, once the mutant scenes get going. It was surprising to see Wes Craven had a hand in writing this movie because there was nothing really tricky or extraordinary about the film. Don't expect a quality piece of work in the Hills Have Eyes 2 but it is an alright addition to the two-part franchise and is on par with the other sequel that came out exactly thirty years prior.
View MoreAfter watching the hills have eyes remake I never expected anything spectacular, however this is probably one of the worst films I have ever seen.It's the typical rather than stick together and run away let's all do our own thing in dark tunnels with no backup plan. It truly is utter crap, even the creepies are sub standard. It's almost like a horror goonies, but not funny or good. The acting is so bad it's not even ironic, wes craven just seems happy to put his name to anything in the horror genre. Seriously pick another film any things got to be better than this dribble.
