no one go to a movie like the hill have eye 2 and expect the second coming of citizen kane . the same be true for the majority of low rent horror flick and especially those roger ebert have dub dead teenager movie . the hill have eye 2 definitely qualifies a a dead teenager movie and only here and the teenager have be give the superficial appearance of military trainee . some will argue the line it only a movie when questionable fact be raise in a movie review and but i have always be a firm believer that all good fantasy must be root in reality in order to be effective . in the hill have eye 2 and be to believe the main character be military people on a training exercise and but they look and talk like high school kid camp in the desert . the dialog be awful and frequently vulgar to excess . though the film aren not nearly comparable and i keep imagine these soldier be in platoon and and shudder with dread . very little about the character evoke a soldier other than rifle and fatigue represent radio transmission be carry out like teenage phone conversation while a colonel be address a hey and asshole by a private . and nobody seem to have the slight idea what to do and or any sense of command structure and when thing begin to go wrong . i think of the soldier in james cameron alien and a film of pure fantasy and and how even those futuristic marine behave like real soldier despite their fantastic situation . fantasy root in reality . i try to begin watch a movie a a 5 on a scale of 10 and and judge it strengths and weaknesses from there . you have to allow concession for the material while there no way star war be as good of a movie a the godfather and on equal term . but both be excellent example of their type . in that respect and while the hill have eye 2 be a pretty dreadful exercise in amateur and immature writing and it only modestly worse in that regard than the typical dead teenager movie . on a technical side and the movie appear to have decent production value and be pretty well make from that perspective . scene that be intend to shock and or which be intend to evoke urgency or suspense generally work . so and while watch the hill have eye 2 may indeed be a fate bad than death and there be certainly far bad horror flick in circulation . it worth a watch for those who enjoy this type of stuff without the usual fanboy baggage and or those who do not tend towards think every movie they see be either the best ever or the bad ever of all time . if you do not get horror and especially the dead teenager variety and youre not likely to have a good time with this one . 4/10 .
