Produced by the winning team behind Alexandre Aja’s 2006 hit remake (namely original writer/director Wes Craven, original producer Peter Locke and Marianne Maddalena), THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 is wrapping up shooting in Ouarzazate, Morocco. Based on the same recipe that made the remake of the 1977 Craven fave a success (young and promising European director + Moroccan locations + mutants born from nuclear experiments), the sequel—currently slated to open March 2 from Fox Atomic—nevertheless promises to be very different from the first installment, as it focuses on a team of National Guardsmen trapped inside a labyrinth of mines and underground tunnels in which a family of mutants has established their home. Most of the action therefore takes place in dark, claustrophobic, visually striking interiors—among the sets Fango visited was the Butcher’s Room, which delivered what its name promises and then some—rather than in the desert, and thus HILLS 2 seems more inspired by James Cameron’s ALIENS than by ’70s horror fare.
Helmed by German filmmaker Martin Weisz (whose reality-inspired cannibalism thriller GRIMM LOVE recently won Best Director, Best Actor and Best Cinematography prizes at the prestigious Sitges festival) from a script by Craven himself and his son Jonathan (who previously co-scripted his dad’s production MIND RIPPER), THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 stars an impressive ensemble of good-looking up-and-coming actors, among them Michael McMillian, Jessica Stroup, Daniella Alonso (soon to be seen in another mutants-amok sequel, WRONG TURN 2), Jacob (JARHEAD) Vargas, Lee Thompson Young and Archie Kao, all set for an encounter with New Mexico’s most inhospitable inhabitants.
As for the villains themselves, one of the main inspirations for HILLS 2 was to give audiences an insight into their world, and special care has been put into making them look as realistic as possible. Michael Bailey Smith, the previous film’s Pluto, returns, this time in the role of lead mutant Hades; and he is joined by CURSED’s Derek Mears, David Reynolds and stuntman-turned-actor Tyrell Kemlo. Also back are the Academy Award-winning KNB EFX team, whose men on the field promise “plenty of blood and guts and makeup, and enough gags and slit throats to keep FANGORIA readers happy.”
From what this writer (pictured on the location) witnessed during filming, the movie will not only be delightfully gory, but will also feature enough fights and action scenes to satisfy any genre fan. Look for plenty more coverage of HILLS HAVE EYES 2 on this site and in Fango’s pages in the coming months. —Axelle Carolyn
