The Hills Have Eyes 2


The film will revolve around a team of National Guard cadets that stop at a desert outpost to deliver equipment to military scientists, but when they arrive at the research camp they discover that it's mysteriously deserted. After hearing a distress call on their walkies, they set off on what they think is a simple rescue mission into the hills - only to find a tribe of mutants, damaged by nuclear testing, who lie in wait for them.

Along with a new synopsis (above) the Arrow got descriptions of some of the new mutants we'll encounter in this sequel:

[ HADES ]
HUGE. The leader of, and the LARGEST of, the mutants - has a face sort of like a mandrill; truly terrifying.

[ HANSEL ]
30s, HUGE AND HULKING, but with a childlike demeanor - an enormous simpleton. He helps Amber and Napoleon when they're trying to rescue Missy - but it later turns out he's not as innocent as he seems...

[ CHAMELEON ]
A bald mutant, LARGE, MUSCULAR, his skin changes color to match his surroundings. Along with Hades, the most prominent of the mutants. He grabs Missy, drags her into the mines and holds her hostage.

[ GRABBER ]
A LARGE mutant, scarred, hard-muscled, but nearsighted and relies on his sense of smell in the dark. He attacks Amber, only to be fought off by Mickey.
