The right kind of horror, the right kind of scare, gets under your skin … and never leaves your mind. When I saw Wes Craven (and another Craven) wrote the script for this horror film, I had my doubts. He may be famous for horro, but many of his films are more comedy or action than scary (Nightmare on Elm Street). But from the first scene—a woman having some sort of child—The Hills Have Eyes 2 grabs your attention, never truly letting go. The special effects are done well. And yes, this is horror, therefore we have inhuman creatures, who look like mutated men, people just born in the wrong way.
The movie jumps from the scene of a woman having a child to a military outpost, where people start dieing rather fast. It then jumps again, to a military training drill. Like most sequels, the action is increased, the bloodshed rises, and bodies start falling more and more. The training combat team, a bunch of rookies who either are being chewed out in the beginning or making mistakes, comes to the secret base, where it is said nuclear tests have been done (I am thinking of mutants again.) It seems the secret base asked for supplies, but there is nobody there. They had expected this to be a simple resupply mission. It ends up being far more than that.
The combat team have the basic conflicts expected. They curse each other out when not being yelled at by their commander. Craven makes some attempt to bring out each soldier, there cursing and conflicts and fears. The scares are there, but the characters are wooden, see through.
If Craven is good at anything, its using images to build tension, and tension to build images. When the soldiers start falling, and we get a few shots of the inhumans taking them out, it can be hard to look away.
As an endnote, this is more blood and gore than a spine tingling movie. Yes, parts are scary, but most far from it. This is more an action film, perhaps reminiscent of Resident Evil.
