This being the not-so-direct follow on to The Hills Have Eyes P2, it actually does a pretty good job of creating a thorough, solid, enjoyability entertaining horror movie. Seeing that The Hills Have Eyes Part 2 was utter rubbish, it's a small surprise that this little horror film is as effective as it is.
The elements are all there for an entertaining, effective horror film. You've the good use of the narrow halls of the military facility way out in the desert, the creator stalked by his own invention, and the creative use of the monster as sympathetic victim to these experiments. As a by-product of these experiments though, he know has to chow down on brains.
Some good gore and the mutants 'Cronembergian'(Think 'Shivers') /Alien style methods of killing make this more interesting than most low-budget, straight to video slashers/horrors, and while not original is adept at being entertaining and a little creepy for 90 or so minutes. Add to that the 'they always come back' ending (or they always come back again and again) and this is an unoriginal though enjoyable low-budget horror movie worth catching once. And it freaked my two sisters out, so thats a bonus!
