The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1983) is a real guilty pleasure of mine. Everybody and their dog knows it’s crap. Wes Craven has practically disowned the damn thing. But I like it.

Speaking of everyone and their dog, the dog that graces both original films – a German Shepherd known as Beast (sibling Beauty bought it in the first one) – is one of several characters who has a flashback to events from the first round. Yes, a dog recalls events from six years (or more) earlier, complete with blurry swirl screen effects but not, sadly, with the doodly-doo-doodly-doo-doodly-doo sounds from Wayne’s World.

Still, gotta love a dog that genuinely tries to save the day! We *heart* you Beast!
