The Hills Have Eyes Part II

Let’s start this one off in the most confusing way possible. The 2007 Hills Have Eyes 2 is not a remake of this film, but rather a sequel to the 2006 remake of 1977’s The Hills Have Eyes. And while 2007 Hills Have Eyes 2 has its charms, we’re here to praise Wes Craven’s 1985 follow-up to his cult classic about mutants in the desert attacking a road-tripping suburban family (and vice versa). Its most wondrous accomplishment is finding a reason for any character associated with that film to want to return to the gruesome scene of the crime; that the reason involves dirt-bike racing (with bonus subplot about a newly invented super-powered fuel) is just icing on the B-movie cake.
