It's been eight years since Bobby (John Laughlin) barely survived being terrorized and held captive by a group of desert-dwelling cannibals. The rest of his family weren't as lucky. Bobby now runs a Motocross shop with Ruby (Willard Pugh), one of the cannibals who kept him captive but later turned on her family. Both have tried to heal their pain. But the past comes raging back when Bobby and Ruby return to the desert with bikers they're sponsoring, and Ruby's family reappear to kill again.

a film destined to be a footnote in Craven's career - but footnotes can often provide real, demythologising insight into both filmmakers and the fickle industry that they serve. Go to Full Review

Had this not been a Hills Have Eyes sequel, and it was just another slapdash and kinda quirky one-off that got lost in the ‘80s slasher shuffle, then maybe, just maybe, audiences would be more merciful. Go to Full Review

There are a couple eerie moments, enough to make things creepy from time to time, but ultimately not enough for anyone to call this even remotely a mediocre horror. Go to Full Review

Jelisije J Oct 22 A sequel that is completely unnecessary that had a chance to be at least decent, but it wastes a character that should have been the main character that left a distaste in my mouth. See more Horror fan 4 Jul 21 Noy quite a good as the first but it has great kills and is a lot of fun. Tim Treakle See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 19 Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca e desinteressante, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém melhora a porra do filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. See more Elvis D 04/06/2024 7 años después de la controvertida película que hizo que el nombre de Wes Craven empezara a crecer un poco más, este director decidió hacer esta segunda parte. La idea de hacer una secuela no era mala, tomando en cuenta que The Hills Have Eyes tuvo un final bastante repentino. Esta segunda película pudo haber respondido las dudas sobre que ha sido de los sobrevivientes, pero el resultado termino siendo una secuela bastante vaga. Da una idea de que ha ido de Bobby y Ruby, pero no hay nada más allá de lo que la película muestra. Bobby tiene poca participación y nada de protagonismo. Ruby es la que tiene el protagonismo principal. El peculiar Pluto regresa nuevamente, pero tiene poca participación y tenía que haber tenido más tiempo en pantalla, ya que Pluto se ha vuelto la cara de esta saga a pesar de haber sido un personaje secundario en la película original. Su tío Ripper muestra bastante potencial para ser un gran antagonista y deja el deseo de haber visto más sobre él porque se siente un poco desperdiciado. Muchos de los personajes son adolescentes clichés e ingenuos que solo están presentes para ser las víctimas. Mientras la película anterior es mucho más seria, aquí hay más humor y hay momentos que se sienten como comedia. Seguramente es por el humor que Wes Craven empezó a aplicar a algunas de sus películas. La película anterior no tenía nada de gore y aquí hay un poco de eso en algunas escenas, pero no es suficiente. De hecho, gran parte de esta película se siente que tiene bastante relleno y eso que los flashbacks fueron utilizados adecuadamente. De las pocas cosas positivas que esta película tiene, la más destacable es la banda sonora de Harry Manfredini que tiene esa atmosfera de Friday The 13th. La verdad es que esta película pudo haber servido para concluir esta saga de dos capítulos, pero no deja una sensación muy satisfactoria al final y acaba siendo una secuela olvidable. Es una lástima porque Craven ya estaba en su gran apogeo gracias a la gran aclamada A Nightmare On Elm Street. The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 es recomendable solo para los curiosos que estén interesados en la filmografía de Wes Craven y llega a ser una película entretenida, pero no ofrece más de lo que la primera película fue. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 7/10. See more Joshua H 07/06/2023 In this far less superior sequel, the hills eyes' have gone dry.
