The Hills Have Eyes 2 is one of those sequels that was probably rushed into production after the success of the first one. It didn't add anything to the original story because none of the characters from the first film are even in it. What we have in this film is a weak plot and even weaker characters.
The movie opens with a massacre of scientists who are studying the area. Nothing is told about the survivors of the family from the first film. I guess we are just to assume that they are the reason that the scientists are there at all. One by one they are killed by the canibal mutants in the area.
My first big question about this movie was where in the hell did these mutants come from? All of the main mutants were killed in the first one. I guess this fact was an issue for the mutants from the sequel becuase they're whole point seems to be to rape women who happen on the remote area and force them to birth new mutants after which the women are killed.
We are barely introduced to the "Bad News Bears" version of a military unit who are assigned the mission of bringing supplies (I think) to the scientists. Naturally, they find that everyone is dead and soon, they start dying, too. The canibalistic nature of the mutants isn't addressed as much in this one. This time, they seem content on just throwing the men around in an effort to get to the two women that they want to rape.
I'd spoil more of the movie, but I doubt anyone should actually see it anyway. While the first film was extremely violent and gory, at least the story was interesting and the victims were given enough character traits to make their deaths of more concern. The military people in this sequel are so two-demensional that I doubt even re-releasing this in the 3D format would be enough to make them interesting. Oh crap, I'm giving them ideas, aren't I?
