I really should pay more attention to rumours. I should look at the logical side of things. It's been less than a year since the release of the original and here was the sequel. It didn't even start well. A pre title explanation of Sector 16 and the tragedy that befell the family in the original was unnecessary. The acting was below par, very below par. Who were they? You couldn't even say that they were clichés, they weren't even fleshed out that much.Sorry, I take that back. They did have a stereotypical shouty black sergeant! What was it with the mines? It seemed that Wes Craven realised that the original sequel was terrible but clung on to the idea that abandoned mines are scary. Think again. Every scare ( Well, what scares there were ) were sign posted! I shouldn't even waste time on this. Please don't go and see it, don't buy it. The Hills Have Eyes had the power to disturb, to stay with you for days after watching it, a true classic. Sdaly, this just leaves you out of pocket and bitter.
