Critic Reviews:
Aside from beginning life as an actual sequel before its screenwriters went in a different direction, just about the only thing Mind Ripper has in common with Hills is the presence of executive producer Wes Craven and a desert setting. Otherwise, it’s pretty disposable junk that I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t even bother talk about, so point one to the producers, I guess.
Having now checked Mind Ripper off my 90’s horror list, I can firmly say the decade was stronger than many give it credit for.
Mind Ripper was supposedly originally intended by director Wes Craven to be a third entry in his series of Hills Have Eyes films, following The Hills Have Eyes (1977) and The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985). For whatever reasons, this never emerged and Mind Ripper was converted into a standalone feature concerning a mutant creature amok in a scientific research facility.
