laraibkhan-29129 This movie is really a great horror movie. I've never seen such a scary movie before. Its very entertaining movie as well unlike the boring supernatural horror movies which are not really scary. I enjoyed each and every scene of it. This sequel is the most violent one in the entire wrong turn series. Its totally my type of movie because i love those horror movies which make me scary. Amazing direction by Joe Lynch. All the characters were really very good. Much better than my expectations. Overall its an excellent movie, very very very violent. Strongly recommended for the lovers of horror movies. P.S. Don't watch it if you have a weak heart.
Michael_Elliott Wrong Turn 2 (2007) ** 1/2 (out of 4) A group of contestants, producers, cameramen and a host (Henry Rollins) heads into the woods of West Virginia to film a reality show but soon they're coming under attack by a cannibal family who are needing some food in their stomachs.The original film went for scares and for the most part was a success but there's no question that this film decided to go in the opposite direction. Instead of there being any real atmosphere or scares, WRONG TURN 2 goes for non-stop violence, outrageously gory scenes and some of the most blood soaked mayhem that you're ever going to see. There are some major problems scattered throughout this film that keeps it from being much better but at the same time, for a sequel, it's really not too bad and there's no doubt that those wanting the red stuff are going to be extremely happy.We'll start with the problems but the biggest is that there are simply way too many characters early on. There are so many different subplots going on at the start of this film and none of them are all that interesting. We've got six contestants all with a story going on and these stories are mixed with other plot points and they just don't go anywhere. These story lines really aren't character development but instead they're just boring dialogue scenes that go no where and add nothing to the picture. Another problem is that there are some scenes early on that just drag on to the point where you're bored. This includes the "promo" shot towards the end where the Rollins character is talking about the reality show contest. This here should have been cut all together.The first hour of the film is pretty mediocre but once we get down to the final few characters things really pick up and I'd say the final thirty-minutes are a real blast because we just get all sorts of craziness. What I really liked about the picture is that it really keeps you off guard on who's going to live and who's going to die. I'm not going to lie but I was completely caught off guard with who died first and who ended up surviving. For the most part all of the actors did a nice enough of a job to at least bring the characters to life and make you care about them. Again, there are too many at the start but none of them are overly annoying and there are actually a couple good moments between them including one sequence where two that have been fighting come together as they prepare to die.WRONG TURN 2 succeeds in being downright brutal in terms of violence. There are some very clever death scenes including one poor woman who gets split in half and there are countless other scenes including people getting chopped up, broken apart and even some people being blown to pieces in hilarious fashion. The gore effects are extremely believable and there's no doubt that the budget allowed for gallons of blood. Another major plus are the actual mutant rednecks. All of them have a terrific look and the actors really deserve a lot of credit because they really give these characters a personality no matter how disgusting they are.
Thanos Karagioras "Wrong Turn 2: Dead End" is the second movie of the Wrong Turn series and in this one we have a group of reality show contestants who are fighting for their lives because they are hunted from a cannibal family who want to kill them all.I did not like this movie as I liked the first one because this movie did not have the suspense that the first one had and I did not like the plot of this movie. I believe that it was not the sequel that many horror movie fans expected and that's obvious in the ratings of this film.Finally I think that "Wrong Turn 2: Dead End" is a simple horror movie with which you can spend your time and nothing more.
acidburn-10 Normally I stay away from straight to DVD movies, especially sequels because they are usually terrible and cheap looking and awful acting. But when I came across "Wrong Turn 2" I was actually eager to see it, as I really liked the first one and I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. They really upped the ante with this one, we get more deaths and more splatter which I really enjoyed. The storyline in this one, we get a group of people filming a reality show which was rather fun and interesting, and I could tell from the opening death a woman sliced in half is that this movie was gonna be awesome. I was a bit sceptical at the reality show setting as in the past when slasher movies have tried this, they usually don't really work, but in this it works to full effect and plus we get more inbred mutants to add to the fun. But there are a few drawbacks in this movie, like firstly it does lack the tension and atmosphere the first movie had and instead opting for more blood splatter and gore, and the fact that we see way too much of the mutants which did take away the overall terror and this movie was still fun and slick.The acting in this was actually not what I expected, it was really good. Henry Rollins was fun as the ex-marine turning Rambo without being ridiculous. Erica Leerhsen really gives it her all and comes across as one of the more fleshed out characters in this movie and Texas Battle also really stood out and believable as he turns hero throughout the latter half of the movie. Daniella Alonso also gives a stand out performance as the female army soldier. Steve Braun plays the joker of pack pretty well, Crystal Lowe was gorgeous playing the token slutty character but she played the part really well and I also enjoyed her in the (Black X-Mas remake), Aleksa Palladino made me really feel for her as the put upon plain girl whose treated like dirt and I felt sad when her time ended as she didn't get the opportunity to get her own back and Matthew Currie Holmes was extremely unlikeable and self absorbed but he did it well.All in all "Wrong Turn 2" is fun fast paced and slick all the right ingredients for a sequel, it's a pity that the further sequels doesn't follow suit.
