I would have thought it would rate high on everyone's list of bad sequels. It's not even good for laughs. I've only ever seen it once and that was enough. Has to be Wes Craven's worse film..?

I not seen the original HHE2 but the remake of 2 was poor.
Aja didnt return sadly and that was the reason it was so poor, so much of the first remake was pure Aja and thats why I loved it so much. Once the action got started it didnt let up and was a sheer brutal tour de force of horror.

IMO it blows Halloween remake out of the water which made me fall alseep in the cinema

Im glad I dont remember much of it as after seeing it, it was pure garbage.

I thought the Hills Have Eyes 2 remake was every bit as bad as the original sequel. If not worse.

Great music too. George Thorogood's Bad To The Bone never sounded more menacing.

Wasn't the Hills Have Eyes 2 (Re-make) script the same one that was used for Johnanthan Craven's penned Mindripper/The Outpost? Which itself was originally going to be Hills Have Eyes 3?

very true vince. Carpenter was on top of his game in the 80s.

Watched Zombieland on DVD tonight. Just as good as I remember it in the cinema. This zombie film has BALLS!

Last couple of films I've seen have been good ones...

Almost Human (Lenzi) - another great Italian crime flick with a good performance from Tomas Milian and a bleak, downbeat feel. I bought the Thai DVD of this and the picture quality is pretty good but the sound is a bit tinny.

Christiane F - very grim but powerful and realistic. Not exactly enjoyable but definitely unforgettable
