Things you would have done make this a better film


I've noticed that most of the people who visit this board come here to vent about how frustrating the movie is or how much they disliked it. And it's understandable, given the fact HHE2 was thrown together as fast as possible to make money as opposed to telling a good story or to showcase the skills of relatively new actors.

Hence the question. What do you guys think would've improved the film? Had you been in charge, what would you have done?

Well, the first obvious answer would be a more realistic depiction of the military - a topic which has been covered quite a bit on here. Being a vet, that made it a little difficult for me to see it as a horror film, rather than a comedy film.
And the ending was kinda trash. I mean, stepping outside the door to the mine ensures the safety of the survivors, yet the mutants had no problem leaving the mountain to attack the base camp which had been set up? Not quite adding up here.

1. Keep Aja (director of the first remake) for the sequel
2. Continue where the first movie left off
3. Add more suspense, and slower kills
4. Not make this movie at all if options one and two are a no go.

Not create it to begin with. Just left it alone..that would've been the improvement.
