The Hills Have Eyes Part 2

The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 follows a motocross team travelling through the desert to test a new fuel. Their bus breaks down near the hills where, years earlier, the Carter family was attacked by a clan of cannibals. Among the group is Rachel, a survivor of that clan, whose connection to the area she keeps from her companions. The riders soon find themselves stalked by the savage figures who live out there.

Wes Craven directed and wrote the screenplay, returning to the series he began with the 1977 original. It was his eighth film as director, coming between Invitation to Hell and Deadly Friend. Michael Berryman reprises the role of Pluto, with Janus Blythe returning as Rachel, also known as Ruby. John Bloom appears as The Reaper, and Kevin Spirtas, Tamara Stafford and Colleen Riley are among the other cast members.

Released in August 1985, the film runs 90 minutes and was produced by New Realm Entertainments, VTC and Hills Two Corporation. It received a critics' rating of 2.9 out of 10 from eight reviews. On IMDb it holds 3.8 out of 10 from around 8,100 votes, and on TMDB it has 4.3 out of 10 from 294 votes, which places the audience response slightly above the critical one, though both are low.
