Most people would say you can check your brain at the door before you watch this film, but I beg to differ. This is genuinely intelligent stuff here folks. Based on the legend of skinwalkers, a native American folklore, the film is about surviving, be it humans or skinwalkers, they both want to live and claim their rights to exist. Granted, there is not much in the line of plot , but these would be totally gratuitous in this escapist piece. We are given a fantastic adventure, special effects, and a story that keeps you in your seat for the entire time. The acting of Rhona Mitra alone makes this film well worth its 90 minutes. I don't want to say too much about it, because the experience is just too much fun. So, do yourself a favor. Watch this film without being so hard on yourself. Yes, you are allowed to laugh. There can be humor in modern day horror films in America.
I saw this movie and I have to say that it is scary and I understand why the MPAA is all up in arms over its ratings. This type of movie can get into the mind of some people and lag behind as a memory. Violent and gore scenes , to a young viewer can shock and traumatize and this movie can do that if you are not careful to the plot. I am not comparing this movie to faces of death or anything like that but, man, it does have some nasty stuff. Elisha Cuthbert does a good job with her character and really takes the model for a ride. I think I enjoyed this movie thoroughly and I bet many people will. I did not understand all of the symbolism but hey, it's a movie and it entertains. I think that the killer really went out of his way to do the things he does. Although his has plenty of gore, the reshoots will put even more in it, which will make the movie in better.
This movies is basically in the category of what you see is what you get. The Hills Have Eyes II is what you would expect of course it's not going to be an Oscar nominated film, it's just pure entertainment which you can just lose yourself in for 90 minutes. This movie is about a group of soldiers who find themselves against mutated hillbillies. In the desert and on their last day of training they find themselves fighting these hillbillies. This movie is full of blood and guts and is extremely violent. The Hills have Eyes II is a wonderful gory film that will keep you wanting to close your eyes. But keep watching and enjoy the movie. Make sure to watch for all that gore flying through.
