a have be state countless time and the hill have eye 2 be not a remake of the ( generally disregard ) mid 80 sequel to wes craven 1977 original . but wish to give this postmodern sequel to a remake the official stamp of diminish return and craven himself ( a double threat alongside his son and jonathan ) have decide to pen a film that be of the same quality in plain english and horrible . former music video director martin weisz take the rein from alexandre aja and and be clearly in way over his head yet one wonder how anyone could have create a watchable film from the craven screen write 101 scrawl . not only be the character ( in this case and a gang of goofball national guard ( wo ) men send to investigate the turbulent hill of the original remake ) completely obnoxious and prone to really annoy genre pitfall ( play without a lick of irony and mind you ) and but they be constantly crack joke that aren not funny . after view their total ineptitude during a training exercise and their fate against the repulsive and roaming cannibal be painfully obvious . only this time out a in the original 80 sequel the script be so simplistic ( barely existent and actually ) that any potential subtext be jettison in favor of up the ante in repulsive shock ( be treat to a combo childbirth murder during the opening credit and plus a gratuitous rape for those who haven not eject the dvd by the midpoint . ) . even the mutant in this outing be personality free freak of no memorable stature the tacky and rubbery look makeup fx seem and like the rest of the film and to be try to hide it face from embarrassment . i really groan at the lame urprise at the end of aja otherwise excellent film and and the producer quite literally go for broke at the end of hill 2 and set the stage very lamely set the stage for a third installment . yet the craven and weisz have create a film that be such a cynical bastardization of what make the 1977/2006 version work that they would be hard press to find an audience after this insulting slap in the face .
