The Hills Have Eyes 2 :: SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board

I saw The Hills Have Eyes 2 today. Complete shit.

The first one was exellant. Well developed characters, an actual plot, and shocking scenes of gore with suspense that had even me on the edge of my seat.

The tagline for this movie was "The lucky ones die first" and that fit considering the large amount of torture,

The sequel's tagline was "The lucky ones die quickly".

I guess the whole cast was lucky.

The tagline should really be "The lucky ones avoid this film"

This film had little plot, 9 very under developed characters and minimal amounts of blood with next to no suspense.

The whole plot was a group of soldiers driving through the desert stop at the site of the first film to drop off some equipment when they start getting killed.

With 9 characters, it is next to impossible to develop them, and they didn't. They exsisted to be killed, nothing more.

And the deaths were stupid. The first film had bloody, shocking death scenes that could make a blind man flinch, this film was just dumb. Most of them fell of the hill and you didnt really see much. The bloodist death was a guy who was hanging off a cliff got his arm cut off and he fell. That is really all the blood there is.

When the movie is over, a mutant is still alive, they havent really escaped and you feel incomplete.

I respect this movie as much as I respect drug dealers and thats just pity out of the actors who had to suffer filming it.

Skip this movie.

And another thing, Wes Craven has really hit the creative wall. He wrote this and I think it's the worst he's ever done. His films used to be good, Original Hills Have Eyes, Last House on The Left, Nightmare on Elmstreet introduced one of the most popular movie villans ever, The People Under the Stairs, Scream, but his last few have just....sucked. I think it's time for him to retire.
