Showing - what I assume - was a mutant holding the binoculars.
I mean, for Heaven's sake, give these characters a chance at least. They fought in Hell to survive and you give them this. No chance.
Totally unfair and spoiled the movie's conclusion.
I totally agree. I remember being really upset when I first saw this movie for that reason. I don't know if you plan to watch the sequel, but all I will say is the ending to that movie isn't much better than the one we got here.

I didn't like the movie overall, but I agree, that last shot was totally unnecessary.
"Passion is just insanity in a cashmere sweater!"
Meh ... it was a bit silly, but they were setting up a sequel (which was terrible).
The comic book tie-in actually explains what happens to the family after the film. Pretty grim, but the comic would have made an AMAZING film sequel.
Due to the lack of moderators, trolls can ruin the IMDB message boards. Don't feed them.
Every horror movie does that nowadays. They are almost never definitively over. They always have to have that twist ending where good never triumphs over evil. It would be a breath of fresh air to see the monster(s) being killed, the protagonists being triumphant, and nothing left open to interpretation for once. With some movies, dark endings are more suitable; but they should have a purpose, not just to have an excuse to make a sequel.
I've been waiting for you, Ben.
I agree that it was disappointing to see a mutant looking through binoculars, but comic aside (I've never read it and honestly didn't even know there was one), what makes you think that they didn't escape? It would definitely suck to survive all of that, then realize you're not exactly safe yet. But couldn't they have walked back to the gas station, gotten a car and gotten away? Or once they were back on the main road, maybe they were picked up by a passing car or something. Since they never showed what exactly did happen, it's pretty much open to interpretation.
shareI think the survived. The last shot was to show that "the hills still have eyes" and to set up for a sequel, but come on--the mutants in this weren't stupid. I'm sure they decided to hang back and let them go after seeing what they did to the other, for fear of their own lives.
Spoilers for the original below
I mean, look at the original Hills Have Eyes 2. The mutants obviously survived and they let the family go and somehow remained undiscovered despite being reported. What makes you think the same didn't happen here?
I thought they never showed the bald headed woman/mutant die? just suggesting possibly that obviously there probably are a few more mutants alive
I don't think its that crazy that they would have a pair of binoculars and watch the family as they left even if just out of curiosity or possibly concern for their own lives
we also saw the kid-mutants in one house, could have been them, you never know, its very vague someone simply looking through binoculars
first reaction is that its another dangerous mutant but it could be any mutant (and clearly there are varying types and attitudes as far as they go)
If i go crazy will you still call me Superman?
I thought the ending was brilliant.
I didn't even think that it was setting up a sequel, but rather showing that the family had no hope of survival. Which fit the tone of the movie.
