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.

Anton Bitel Little White Lies 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. Sep 11, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 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. Rated: 1/5 May 3, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid What could have inspired such lazy filmmaking? Mar 23, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 25, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Might be the only film in cinema history to feature a flashback sequence ... by a DOG! Rated: 1/5 Apr 3, 2005 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) The original was a minor classic. This is just minor. Rated: 0/5 Jun 16, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Elvis D 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Joshua H In this far less superior sequel, the hills eyes' have gone dry. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Samonti 2 even The remake Part 2 is better..The og Part 2 was the worst and One of The biggest Flops Of all Time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/22 Full Review Audience Member A huge disappointment sequel and it has Friday the 13th vibe which makes no sense. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/14/21 Full Review Audience Member Why did they make a sequel? Money. Gosh dang it. And if you think I'm confusing this with the remake I'm not. This old 80s sequel is horrible. To be frank I didn't like the original either so what did I expect? Nothing much but eh. This felt like a waste of a sequel. The plot didn't really answer any of the main questions I had for the original but I really don't care anymore. In the end this is another bad horror sequel.
