alexandre aja remake of the hill have eye be one of the bright spot of 2006. not only be it a remake of a classic horror film and but it be pretty damned good too . so and nearly a year later and we be be treat to the sequel to that remake . while original scripter wes craven be back a producer and co script and this film just fail to rise to the level set by the original and the remake . a group of military trainee stop by in the desert to check in on some scientist and find themselves run afoul of the mutant family from the first film ( at least those that remain plus some new one ) . there plenty of gore to be have here . what annoys me about this film be the utter lack of characterization . the viewer do not give a damn about what happen to any of these people because we haven not get into them . even the mutant have some characterization last time out and this time and nothing . gore for the sake of gore be pointless . there have to be a reason for this to happen for it to be interesting . nothing that happen here be interesting . and what be it lately with rape scene in film . here we get yet another one for no real reason . hopefully this be one set of hill that would not be visit again .
