7/10
Sightly less colorful hills, but....

Like the I Spit On Your Grave remakes, whatever, this series too, is an improvement on the originals. I can only hope you don't watch the sequel to the original, cause that sucked. Here, we have a whole fresh original sequel, this kind of dry, when measured up against the predecessor, a year earlier. There's some still ugly sons of b..tch mutants in those hills, where a hard knuckle group of army soldiers (most of em' you can't stand) are on a training exercise, that of course, is interrupted by the cannibalistic mutants who either eat you, or if a woman, impregnate you, and we have an ugly modern masterpiece of a mutant, who delivers the bloody goods. The story is kind of stretched in it's last third, but the underwritten plot makes the whole film stretched. That aside, this sequel doesn't disappoint, serving up an equal amount of gore as the original, but the fresh change of story, I really liked. It seemed worlds apart, to it's original (killer remake) prior. I liked how serious the squad were, where it let doesn't let you forget, what's involved in this occupation, and how this program must be applied with the utmost resilience. r eally liked the adversary relationship, between two army personnel, Vargas, a real time bomb, and the two chicks, was an added attraction, the blonde, looking so much liked Charlize Theron. Meditation expert and actor baddie, Jeff Kober, is fun, in his limited duration, and it was good to see him in this, where like in A Man Apart, you wished he had a bigger role. If you want some thrills and bloody spills, you won't fare too bad with this.
