The greatest movie ever made..!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
From the very beginning where a pinhead city dweller (are there any other kinds) gets her lips bitten off after she totally clobbers one of the three inbred cannibals (who survived an axe to the chest in the first movie), while trying to give CPR, and then gets cut CLEANLY IN TWO (ridiculous) with very little effluvia coming out, her corpse dragged away for dinner... before the rest of the stupid fodder for a reality TV show arrives to get killed, this is even dumber than the first. I'm sure the SFX guys had a great time, but really. This is just a moronic Friday the 13th for the Millenials.
This is a good movie. Wrong turn is better. But still this movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.5 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 5.5 is underrating it. I give this movie 9 out 10. It is scarier the The silence of the lambs could ever be. This is scarier Then the 2003 remake of the Texas chainsaw massacre could ever be. This is a great horror movie. If you like horror movies that you nee to see this movie. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. It is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. Great movie.
Hey! What would be a better setting for a new Reality survival series than the heavy backwoods of West Virginia where the original Hillbilly cannibals from the first film killed everything in sight? A film crew and their actor contestants make this fatal choice and more hillbilly cannibals show up and kill them off. From the opening scene, which has blond Hollywood contestant Kimberly (Kimberly Caldwell) being literally split in half down the middle; Director Joe Lynch sets out to make this sequel a gore fest that out does the original. Lynch does achieve his sick out goal of out doing the original in gore but he fails to deliver a superior film. The original "Wrong Turn" has some stomach turning moments for sure, but it also delivered great suspense, and some classic jump scares. The film also provided some characters that the audience liked and could pull for. This film offers Herny Rollins as an ex-military man doing his Rambo impersonation while the hapless actors and crew get easily killed and picked apart by the hillbillies. It takes a while, but eventually the audience can get behind the characters of Nina (Leerhsen) and Jake (Battle) and that helps a bit since most of the characters here are very stereotyped. The acting and production value are good and the film looks good. Where Wrong Turn 2 makes its wrong turn is in its over the top attempt to gross out the audience. Yes it's a horror film, but the excessive gore becomes the entire point of the film and takes away from any true terror the film can manufacture. It's hard to tell if it's intentional or not, but there is a dining room scene the echoes the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Nina is being force fed human remains in a tasteless scene that is hard to watch. This isn't scary, just disgusting. The filmmakers here would have benefited by watching Tobe Hooper's Texas diner scene and realize that what made it so terrifying was its style, editing and suggestion. Wrong Turn 2 would have been a better film with some subtlety.
Where to begin? Wrong Turn 2 takes its' own wrong turn as being the most terrible movie ever. Trust me. This film is full of disappointments. I have not all seen a sequel do this bad before. Except for one which is Rob Zombie's Halloween II. But in real good horror films I have never seen this. Usually it's the third film that brings it all down. But surprisingly this one did bring it down really far. And after this one there was no turning back. I have but one question. Why? Can someone who's a film expert because I'm just a critic. Please explain to me why this film was made. Because from my point of view it just doesn't make any sense. This might as well have been the same story over again in just a different situation. To me all of The Wrong Turn films are the same. If you've seen the first film you've seen them all.
