"a film as bloodily pointless as the current conflict in Iraq that it so unsubtly allegorises."
Eye for Film
Anton Bitel
2.5/5
"could have been more than a pale shadow of the original if the filmmakers had taken their time instead of rushing out a sequel one year after the original."

"Wes Craven would like the audience to think they're having a nightmarish good time, but I don't recall repeated internal urgings to run screaming from the theater in unstoppable bad movie agony in the recipe for fun."

"Gratuitous, slow-as-molasses and interminably dull-witted; this is a horror movie for no one. Dialogue runs the gambit from "Shitman the Barbarian" to "smelling like shit" in a crappy stinker where even the cameraman blows."

"This team's descent is soon revealed as cockamamie: they're no longer trained fighters with automatic guns but victims in a splatter movie."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"...dull and interminable..."
Reel Film Reviews

1/4
"If
The Hills Have Eyes II
is to gain notoriety for anything, it is the invention of one of the most laughable methods of murder ever captured on film: death by leather wallet."

"Feels like an exercise, not a real film."

"This horror fanatic doesn't have room for Craven in his genre anymore. Collect your cash and call it a day already, Wes..."
Film Threat

"There's gore galore, but not much more. And it's a bore."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/4
"After this disgrace, it's time to shut the hills' eyes for good."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1/4
"It never generates a real sense of dread or building pressure. Instead, it uses its feeble set-up to string together one grisly shock after another."
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
2/5
"It's all just far too Wes Craven for its own good. He gave Aja free rein to innovate, but as he writes this sequel he rests on every single genre cliché because he doesn't understand that they're still clichés even if he did invent them."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
2/5
"If you don't walk out in the first few moments, you deserve every gut wrench, gag reflex and skin crawl you get for the rest of the film."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1/4
"The film's defining emblematic moment comes when a man crawls out of a Port-O-Potty covered in feces, thereby providing an approximation of the audience's experience."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
4/5
"A nastily effective piece of action-horror, as reflective of its time and its war as the Vietnam-era
Deliverance
was of its time and war."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
1.5/5
"As far as stuff like mood, atmosphere, tone, and intensity is concerned, this sequel is a completely empty vessel."
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
4/10
"There is not any plot worth discussing: people go into a desert, some die. The end."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
0/4
"It sucks balls."
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
3/5
"It's extremely grisly, brutal and scary. And not bad at all if you like this kind of thing."
