Another depressing example of a cult 70s slasher being cynically retooled for MTV-reared thrill-seekers.

Weisz’ first feature was ‘Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story’, a banal study of a real-life cannibal killer. Like this sorry sequel, it amounted to far less than the sum of its body parts.

Fingers in brains, thumbs in eyes and sledgehammers in the balls are straight outta Tom & Jerry: this time the hills are alive with the sound of larfing.

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.

It's extremely grisly, brutal and scary. And not bad at all if you like this kind of thing.

There is not any plot worth discussing: people go into a desert, some die. The end.

In case you miss what's happening, one soldier wails, 'Oh, man, we're gettin' picked off one by one, here.'

Well, no, they don't. If they did and if they could see, they would have read the script, passed on it, and we all would have been better for it.

Better made than most low budget and derivative movies of its genre, but it just doesn't have enough to stand out as anything more than an improvement upon those dregs.

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

a film as bloodily pointless as the current conflict in Iraq that it so unsubtly allegorises.

Maybe it's just time to put an end to this mutant circle of life, or at least send it straight to DVD from now on.

Another shining example of the sorry state of horror filmmaking these days

Written, disappointingly, by Wes Craven and his son Jonathan, this limp sequel to last year's remake of Wes' 1977 original feels like the work of a guy who's spent a few too many days lost in the desert.
