last year remake of the hill have eye be one of the good attempt to update the vaguely exploitational horror flick of the 1970s for a new audience . alexandre aja allow for an admirable degree of character development and when the violence start it be mean and savage and all carry out in a landscape of impeccable photography and production design . i be one of the few people who actually think that it be well than the original and look forward to a second visit to the particularly dark and cruel world of the savage desert mutant . the hill have eye 2 and release just a year after the original and seem a rushed and ill conceive attempt to cash in on the franchise with little thought to quality . jonathan craven screenplay could have be write in a weekend and and give the speed with which this movie make it into cinema and probably be . it fall back on every hackneyed genre cliché in the book while offer absolutely nothing new to the desert mutant mythology . i always let out a groan of disappointment when a sequel replace civilian character with the military . soldier be always so lazily write and never fail to thoroughly bore with crude caricature of strut macho bullshit . in my mind and alien be the only movie to successfully make such a transition and due to james cameron talent and not simply for direct the best action sequence around and but never forgetting that an audience have to care about the people be butcher . he be also ably assist by some genuinely talented actor . with the hill have eye 2 and it clear that video director martin weisz be no james cameron and and the cast of television bit parters haven not the talent or even the inclination to turn their cardboard cutout character into anything approach living and breathe human being . needless to say and every character be a broad and generic cliché . they act in dumb and illogical way and make dumb and illogical decision that lead them to predictably dumb and illogical death . the latter half of the movie become just another tedious chase through dark corridor scenario . the descent ( on which sam mccurdy and coincidentally and also work a cinematography ) prove that even this most derivative of sequence can still be carry out with genuine originality and suspense and but we see no such innovation here . the hill have eye 2 be just a very lazy movie and devoid of any suspense and tension and or surprise and with not a single individual involve remotely interested in produce anything of quality . it a tame and tired excuse for a sequel and deserve to spend the rest of it life in a blockbuster bargain bin .
