The Hills Have Eyes 2 Movie Review Analysis and Commentary
As I've already mentioned a few times here on Solomon Rothman Films, I'm a big fan of Wes Craven and am usually the first one to defend him when people say "He's not as good as he used to be" and "This film was a letdown" etc but good old Wes has finally well and truly dropped the ball as far as I'm concerned after just having watched The Hills Have Eyes 2 (The Remake) I can honestly say, what a complete waste of my time and energy, Wes; get your act together please!
The Hills Have Eyes 2 was originally made in 1985 and wasn't exactly the greatest film ever back then. So, you would expect that with this remake and Wes Craven's son Jonathan on board that they would have at least ironed out the creases and made this film better. Guess again! In fact all they seem to have done is made this film more brutal. There was a completely disgusting birth scene at the start and a unnecessary rape scene towards the middle of the movie which is obviously a blatant attempt to get the same level of shock factor with this movie as the first but they seem to be forgetting that the shock factor is no good without some form of vaguely interesting storyline to back it up. I can honestly say I didn't give a crap about any of the main characters; none of them had any remotely endearing qualities about them and the plotline was about as interesting as watching paint dry.
At least with the first Hills Have Eyes remake the story had some excitement, tense scenes and a couple of good main characters whilst still being shocking and grotesque in places (The breast milk scene in the caravan, eurgh!) Instead, The Hills Have Eyes 2 just seemed to be plodding along at its own slow pace and occasionally throwing in a few death scenes and a bit of blood and gore in a lame attempt to keep horror fans satisfied. Sorry, but it doesn't work like that! In my opinion Wes should have never replaced Alexander Aja with Martin Weisz as director, maybe the film would have had a completely different look and feel had he still been on board, but who knows. Perhaps this was just one Wes Craven movie that should never have even been re made. Either way, I hope that Wes begins to get back to his old self sometime soon and makes some more of those cool and edgy films that I adore and admire him for. Your thoughts on this movie and Wes Craven's past films would be great!
