VERY positive review
Hey Harry. I saw WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END at London's Frightfest festival. If you use my review, call me Jack Torrance. Thanks!

WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END (MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD!)

How many good DTV sequels can you name? Whatever you can think of, I bet you can only count them on one hand. Most of them have sucked ass. I thought DARKMAN II and DARKMAN III were excellent (so sue me) but there has also been AMERICAN PSYCHO II. And let's not forget SPLASH TOO. Actually, let's DO forget that.

So when I first heard there would be a DTV sequel to WRONG TURN, I wasn't exactly overjoyed. I thought WRONG TURN was fun and initially I thought I'd have to give the sequel a miss.

But then reports started coming in on the production which indicated that this might not be a typical throwaway cash-in sequel. I read an interview with the director, Joe Lynch, in which he was described as a "degenerate gorehound." He wanted to amp up the gore in the sequel. And speaking as a degenerate gorehound myself, I hate it when splatter movies don't deliver on the goods. I'm not saying every horror movie has to have buckets of gore and
blood. It wouldn't work for terrific movies like THE OTHERS or ROSEMARY'S BABY. But for a splatter flick, you want what it says on the tin! And then I read they'd cast Henry Rollins. Now I was definitely interested to see how this would turn out. So I went to the London Frightfest festival on Saturday to see the world premiere of WRONG TURN 2, with none other than director Joe Lynch in attendance to introduce the movie and take questions after.

WRONG TURN 2... fucking rocks big time! The audience lapped this up. We didn't cheer and applaud just certain kills - we cheered and applauded EVERY kill! The opening sequence has a wonderfully gruesome death that sent the audience wild. I don't want to spoil it for you (well, if you really can't wait to find out..SPOILER...two inbred cannibal mutants gut a woman, spilling her intestines, and then hack her in half straight down the middle. They each pick up one half of her corpse and carry it to their truck).

This is one of the most insanely gory movies I've ever seen. There's real variety in the kills. Amongst other things, there's characters exploding into fountains of blood and body parts after being shot with arrows that have sticks of dynamite strapped to them, arrows through eyes, stabbings, dismemberments, an axe in the head, and cannibalism.

It's not just the carnage that makes it fun. Henry Rollins OWNS this movie as a badass marine in charge of the pilot for a Survivor style reality show where six contestants take part in the backwoods of West Virginia, where they discover they're not alone. Surprisingly for a horror sequel, let alone a DTV sequel, the characters of the young wannabe reality stars are well written, there's funny banter, but Rollins is definitely the star. Once he starts fighting the mutants, we just went nuts.

After the screening, Joe told us that when he was 9 years old, he heard the term "video nasty" being used in the UK in the 80's to describe movies like Evil Dead. He said that right then he decided he wanted to make "video nasty" type horror movies.

He said Fox were so happy with the movie, they wanted it to go theatrical. But he said that would have meant cutting the more brutal kills just to get an R rating, and he gave as an example the kill in the opening sequence. He was adamant that people see it completely uncut. He said the version we saw was the uncut "street trash video nasty version" that will be released on DVD.

Joe said Fox are in very early development on WRONG TURN 3 but he wasn't certain if he'll come back for it.

This does deserve a theatrical release - it beats the living crap out of HILLS HAVE EYES 2. But if it's a choice between seeing a neutered version in the cinema and seeing it in all its uncut gory glory on DVD, then I can understand the decision to go for a DVD release only. After some terrible horror movies this year like THE HITCHER and CRAPTIVITY, WRONG TURN 2 is a fantastic gorefest and throwback to old school splatter.

sounds good looks good liked the 1st one. so this is going on my DVD selve:D

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I was a big fan of the original. From what I read in that review, it sounds very promising. I didn't want to read all of it, so I didn't spoil everything.

Can't wait. :)

[NETRA]

I have already added this title to my "saved" section on Netflix. I can't wait! I really enjoyed the first one (even though I do get tired of Hollywood always making rural states out to be degenerate).

Thanks for posting that review. I'm excited now! :D

[The Dream Master]

You mean there really aren't a bunch of in-bred degenerates in the backwoods of Georgia? :X

[girlychaos]

I didn't read everything....but it really sounds nice.

I loved the first one...I thought it was great! Now I'm looking forward to seeing part 2!

[Rich]

As a fan of the original, I will check this one out. I will not even read that review though. I just want to enjoy the movie, and maybe even be shocked by it.

[Shoesalesman]

I will for sure check this one out, as I found the first one to be totally awsome!!!

[sCabbOy]

I'm curious to see Henry Rollins in a semi-leading role. He did a great job in a supporting role in The Chase and Morgan's Ferry, but really I just want to see a follow up to Wrong Turn!

[NETRA]

but really I just want to see a follow up to Wrong Turn!

Me too! I'm surprised it's taken them so long. I expected a sequel within a year after the first ones release.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Some stills from Wrong Turn 2:

Judging from those stills, it definitely looks like a DTV horror film. But i've skimmed a couple of reviews for it, and so far it's gotten REALLY good reviews. So i'm really excited about it! :)

[101ant101]

saw this today the kill are brilliant. but the acting wasn't so good. to me this sequel was a let down. everyone was saying it was wicked. 6.5/10

[sCabbOy]

I'm not expecting a lot seeing the original was a masterpiece as far as I am concerned. Hopefu;lly it will live up to a sequel.

[NETRA]

saw this today the kill are brilliant. but the acting wasn't so good. to me this sequel was a let down. everyone was saying it was wicked. 6.5/10

Where did you get a chance to see it?

[hack slash]

got the screener from BBV last night, it was OK, some acting was good, some terrible, Henry Rollins has a couple of good moments but nothing really good, the kills are bloody(very watery looking blood). I think the hillbillies in the first one were alot better. over all I'd give it maybe 6/10 only because of the gore other than that I'd give it a 5/10:meh:

[101ant101]

Where did you get a chance to see it?

friend dowloaded it. i watched it again, and i just thenk. that the acting iis horrible. part from the main girl and the main boy.

4/10 < 2nd view

[sCabbOy]

Yeah, torrent sites have i and I think I'm gonna DL it

[101ant101]

Yeah, torrent sites have i and I think I'm gonna DL it

dude dont expect like good from it. lol i was hoping that it would be good. the kills are wicked but part from that its a let down.

[sCabbOy]

I'm really not. If the movie was really good, it would have had a theatrical release.

[101ant101]

I'm really not. If the movie was really good, it would have had a theatrical release.


lol. that itsn't all ways true.:D well im not sure

[kramerfan]

Ive given up on all new slashers.I stick to 70s-early 90s.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm just going to wait until it gets released on DVD......October 9th, if i'm not mistaken.

I'm actually not surprised to hear this isn't better than the original. IMO, Wrong Turn is one of the greatest recent horror films of all time.

[Scarecrow]

Wrong Turn was a lot of gorey fun with a decent cast. Still, glad theres positive wor don this so I'll probably check this out.

[sCabbOy]

[101ant101]

I have it DLed, and I'm gonna watch it later. I'mn actually excited.

hope you enjoy it mate. ;)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Here is the trailer for it:

cMxvGPH79pA

I think it looks pretty good, judging from the trailer. I haven't even seen it, but I can honestly say it won't be better than the original. BUT, it does look like it'd be a fun movie.

[NETRA]

Well this thread started out good. I was excited! Like a kid catching candy at a parade. Now you people are raining on it. :(

Oh well, Netflix will send me a copy when it comes out and we'll see how it goes. What's the worst that could happen? A paper cut while opening the envelope?

[hack slash]

I'm sure alot of people will love it but for me it was just mehhh. This will be an opinion splitter(just look at peoples differing opinions on Halloween '07:D)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

That's true, NETRA. You can't go by the couple of reviews that people posted here. No offense to them, because that is their opinion, and I respect it.

After watching that trailer, i'm really excited to see it still! :)

[sCabbOy]

I watched a little bit of it but quite since my wife wants to see it with me.

What I saw I liked, the opening kill scene was awesome.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

From what you saw, would you say the gore is better in this one, or the original?

[sCabbOy]

From what you saw, would you say the gore is better in this one, or the original?

gore is more, better SFX probably Part 1.

[Scarecrow]

Is t that kind of DTV cheesey gore where there's lots of it but it looks really fake, then? :p


- Scarecrow

[NETRA]

Since Stan Winston was involved in the first one, I have no doubt that the FX in Part 2 won't be as good. But after reading the review at the top of this thread, I'm hoping for something better than the typical DTV movie. The director says his inspiration was The Evil Dead. If we get FX on that level, I'd be happy with them.

[101ant101]

That's true, NETRA. You can't go by the couple of reviews that people posted here. No offense to them, because that is their opinion, and I respect it.

i agree with you on every level. like people were saying its good 5/5 stars:cry: but Halloween much better

[kramerfan]

I thought about getting this but it seems all slashers made in last 10 years since scream are not worth it on dvd.Ill stick to 70s-early 90s.

[101ant101]

scream? theres been better movies than them. but i do love 'em

[101ant101]

this movie should of never happend. IMO. but the kills were worth it

[sCabbOy]

I thought the inbreds looked cheap, but otherwise I liked the movie a lot.

[hack slash]

Jason Voorhees playing an Imbred Hillbilly...who'da thunk it?:D

the old man in the cabin the "father" I guess:side: was really dumb and there was some REALLY bad acting in that scene

[Geomonic]

Trailer looks good, it has the black dude from FD3 in it!

DTV horror films tend to suck IMO, so I'll miss this. It's sure to come onto sky at some point though, I'll catch it there.

[Utellme]

So this movie is out on dvd all ready ?

[sCabbOy]

No... Oct it will be released. It's just easily found on DL torrent sites.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

The DVD is supposed to be released Oct. 9th, if i'm not mistaken. I'm just going to wait for the DVD to come out to watch it.

[Cody]

Video interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kibbezZtHnE) with Ken Kirzinger

[Scarecrow]

Well, I doubt this will ever hit the UK but I'll see if I can find a copy. Should at least be worth a look.

- Scarecrow

[sCabbOy]

Oh, Im sure it will hit UK on DVD.

It's from a major studio...

[101ant101]

Well, I doubt this will ever hit the UK but I'll see if I can find a copy. Should at least be worth a look.

- Scarecrow

dude it is coming out in the UK (i think) 'cos there was a clip on TV on MTV not long ago

[Apocalypto]

The trailer looks pretty damn good.

The other reality show slasher setting movie was Halloween: Resurrection, so it'll atleast be good by comparison.

IMO Resurrection is a much better film

[Apocalypto]

I'll be shocked if I enjoy this less than Resurrection.

The trailer alone is probably better.

[sCabbOy]

This movie was really entertaining. H:R was a piece of shit... this wins hands down.

[girlychaos]

This movie was really entertaining. H:R was a piece of shit... this wins hands down.


I hope I'm going to agree with you when I get to see it. I never really cared for H: R, and I can't wait to watch WT2...so, your words are comforting. LOL

[Bojangles]

Hopefully I'll get to see this one soon. I enjoyed the first.

[Rick]

I really liked the first one.
This one was pretty good too.
Despite it being hillbillies vs a reality show there were very few POV cam shots, so that was good.
The inbreds make up was decent but not nearly as good as the ones in the first.
The FX and acting were pretty good, almost on par with the original.
The kills were pretty good as well.
What I didn't see was the connection to the family in the original.
They are mutant inbred cannibalistic woodsfolk, but that's the only relationship I picked up on.
The original took a more "realistic" approach, where as this one went a little over the top with the gore.
If you enjoyed the original you should check this one out. It's a decent little horror flick.
Kerzinger was good in this as the "pa" inbred and so IMO lends argument to Ronnie Yu just having too set of an idea for Jason and directing Ken very strictly. He doesn't deserve an Oscar or anything but Ken was better as the hillbilly then Ronnie Yu's FrankenVoorhees relatively speaking.

[sCabbOy]

They may not have been the same family... probably justmore inbreds in the same area.

[French Friday]

They may not have been the same family... probably justmore inbreds in the same area.

Like the Sawyers and the Hewitts. Cousins.

:p

[sCabbOy]

Like the Sawyers and the Hewitts. Cousins.

:p

Haha, Inever liked the fact that they changed the name to Hewitt. I think THAT is a pit in Hooper's face.

[Apocalypto]

I'm disappointed that they have a different actor playing Three Finger, I thought that guy was the best thing about the first film.:(

The mutant designs look passable judging from the stills, definitely not on par with the first film though.

[sCabbOy]

Julian Richings (3 fingers from the first) nailed the role. The guy IRL looks really creepy to begin with.

[El Diablo]

I went to the Los Angeles cast & crew screening in Hollywood tonight. I think I enjoyed the first film better but this one has it's moments. It's pretty gory and there's no shortage of nasty death scenes in it but there were also a few unintentionally funny moments that brought out fits of laughter from the crowd (every time the hillfolk "grunted" at one another to communicate it got yucks from the audience). It's pretty solid work for a no budget sequel and the director knows exactly how to play to the horror fans as each death is bloodier and more shocking than the last. A friend of mine went with me tonight and he actually got sick to his stomach towards the end of the movie and made a bee-line straight to the restroom as soon as it was over. This is the first horror movie I've ever seen where the gore made somebody puke. They should print that on the front of the DVD cover.

The director was there to introduce the movie and he seems to genuinely love the horror genre. He did a pretty good job on this one and I'd gladly see his next movie. The theater was packed with horror geeks. I spotted James Wan, Tiffany Shepis, James Gunn, Adam Sessler from G4, Brad Miska from Bloody-Disgusting and Devin Faraci from CHUD.com.

[sCabbOy]

Comes out today, and I am going to see Henry Rollins spoken word tonight. Couldn't have scripted it better!

[Gringo Loco]

I was suprised to see Devin from Chud liked it. His review of the film was worded out terrifically, so after reading it I put the movie on my netflix queue. Hopefully I will get it by Thursday.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm a bit lacking in cash right now, so I can't buy it quite yet. :( I can't wait to see it. I've heard alot of good things about it. So far i've heard all positive reviews of it!

[Gringo Loco]

Ok, so I'm not even 10 minutes into the film and, whoa momma it is awesome so far. I hope the rest of the movie is as good as what I've seen. I'll post back after the movie.
ADDED:
Well if this film got great reviews from alot of people, (I'm not sure if it did or not, but that's what I heard,) then this movie is overrated, imo. The beginning was awesome. Exactly what I would expect from a slasher type movie or horror movie in general. But after that it slows down a bit. We get to see a little bit of character development but nothing too deep. I don't have a problem with that too much. What I do have a problem is, after we spend so much time setting up scene after scene, we get little pay off with the kills. Don't get me wrong. Some of the kills are pretty good. But none of them are as good as the first one. And that is my main gripe with the movie.

Henry Rollins was great in this. I only wish he got more screen time and was able to do his thing more.

In the end, I'm glad I was able to watch this, but I won't be buying it.

2.5 out of 4 jason heads.

[NETRA]

I was very disappointed with Wrong Turn 2. The original was good (though not great) because it at least had suspense and some clever chase scenes. This sequel had no suspense and the word "clever" never even entered my mind. I agree with Gringo that it started off dandy... but boy did it go downhill fast after the first 5-10 minutes or so. By the halfway point I wasn't giving a rat's ass about any of it. :(

Even the gore was a disappointment. Yes, it was bloodier than the first one but those who compared it to Evil Dead were off. They must have seen Evil Dead in an edited form on TV or something.

[Just Jeans]

I was very disappointed with Wrong Turn 2. The original was good (though not great) because it at least had ... Eliza Dushku.

Quoted for truth.

Hmm? What's that? A misquote? I never.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I definitely wasn't expecting this to be better than the original. I still really want to see this.

LOL, Eliza definitely didn't hurt the film. :p

[hack slash]

Even the gore was a disappointment. Yes, it was bloodier than the first one

Yes but all the blood looked like red water

[Apocalypto]

Loved every minute of it.

Unlike the first film, which I enjoy quite a bit but is undeniably contrived from the get go, I really didn't know who was going to make it out alive and I felt for almost every character, where as the first film effectively characterized the two supporting characters but had fairly flat leads.

It wasn't as campy as I expected and had just enough humor while still maintaining a genuine horror/survival film atmosphere, Rollins does a great RAMBO impression, the production value from the cinematography, to the editing, to the score, to the performances are about as good as you can ask for in a dtv film, and as a fun splatterfest they don't get much better.

The make-up effects can't touch Winston's work, but they're passable, and the reality tv aspect was handled quite well and effectively (and deservingly) bashes the stupidity of reality tv, unlike Halloween: Resurrection which merely indulged in it.

This is atleast as good as the first film, probably even better, and until SAW IV (and maybe 30 Days of Night) this is probably the best horror film that I've seen all year.

[sCabbOy]

Yes but all the blood looked like red water

That's my one gripe about HAtchet- the blood was basically red mist in some scenes.

[Apocalypto]

I don't think these types of campy splatterfests horror films try to make the blood too realistic.

[sCabbOy]

Yeah, but it's not hard to make it at least halfway realistic.

[Apocalypto]

I thought it looked fine except for Rollins death, it looked way too thick there.

[Killa Pimp]

I thought it looked fine except for Rollins death, it looked way too thick there.

yeah
it looked like a damned mudslide

Also ,when they split the chick in half with the ax in the beginning, i don't remember seeing any blood, even when they were "dragging the halves" down the road away from the car
It might just be me though... I will have to check that scene again.

Plus

I enjoyed it in a PRE 30 days of night/Saw 4 kind of way! ;)
(Just waiting on the great horror to come forward)

[Apocalypto]

There was blood during the beginning death on the ground.

[Apocalypto]

It was #9 in DVD sales and #10 in DVD rentals its first week.

Very strong numbers for a dtv film, looks like there'll be a WT3.

[Cody]

I thought the gore effects were great, and the consistency of blood fine most of the time, though it was often a bit too dark for my liking.

I really enjoyed the movie. It had me as soon as it opened with "Electric Avenue" and never lost me from there. Like the first one, just a good, fun slasher romp in the woods.

Awesome.

[Sketch Sanchez]

Loved every minute of it.

Unlike the first film, which I enjoy quite a bit but is undeniably contrived from the get go, I really didn't know who was going to make it out alive and I felt for almost every character,

I agree with your entire review but this part the most.

At first I thought the producer chick would be the survivor, she just screamed typical survivor girl but then she caught it real nice. Then I thought maybe Henry Rollins would be the one (and I think it says alot when you just want his character to kill every single one of those cannibal bastards real bad) then I started to believe that maybe, just maybe, no one would make it out alive.
|i havent seen the first but I fully intend to, this was a great ride and I've watched it about 3 times now. I really liked the development of Ericas character, which I didnt catch thefirst time, how she finally decided to not abandon people at the first sign of trouble. That was really nice.

[Joe Strummer]

I liked the first one more than this as it had intense hunting scenes and suspense. But this one was still fun. Henry Rollins was a riot especially when he went all Arnold Commando. I didn't like the inbreds at all in this one, but still a fun movie. Pretty good for DTD.

[Cody]

Fox Home Entertainment VP of Production Tom Siegrist tells STYD (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=3600)

"We're interested in continuing to explore the franchises. As to what our exact plans are...we would definitely like to make a Wrong Turn 3"

[sCabbOy]

If they make a part 3, they need to get a better SFX artist to design the inbreds, which is something I'd like to mention.... that in this movie they moved away from them being inbreds and more or less deformed by toxic waste, which I HATED. In the first part they made it CLEAR they were deformed by inbreeding and only from inbreeding.

I just thought the movie was a fun DTV horror, but not at all great and in some ways shitty. It failed to capture any of the atmosphere the original did. I also do not want to see inbreds jacking off and fucking. That really fucked the mood of the movie up.

Then there were the absolutely annoying characters like the camera man, the slut girl, the Marine girl and the skater guy. I wanted them all to die. The one girl you'd root for, the goody-goody girl who usually is the heroin died first!

I was also pissed that they barely even showed Three Fingers, the star of part 1 and to top it off his prosthetics were HORRIBLE. They gopt some stupid actor to come back and take Julian Richings place, and Julian WAS three Fingers.... so needless to say Three Fingers was POORLY acted.

[Cody]

I also do not want to see inbreds jacking off and fucking. That really fucked the mood of the movie up.

I loved that stuff, it was all part of the fun. I had already been won over by that point, but the moment that they included an inbred toxic mutant spit-lubing his cock was when I thought to myself "You gotta love a movie that has that in it."

[sCabbOy]

I loved that stuff, it was all part of the fun. I had already been won over by that point, but the moment that they included an inbred toxic mutant spit-lubing his cock was when I thought to myself "You gotta love a movie that has that in it."

If the movie was made to be.... a dark comedy it would have been funny, but it's hard to keep a dark mood with comedy elements like that in it. I know I am comparing too much to the original, but I was hoping the tone would be the same.

[Cody]

I think it was meant to be horror/comedy. As the director says, two of the big influences were Evil Dead II and Phantasm II, both of which also amped up the goofiness. Which is perfect for me. That said, I wouldn't want to see Wrong Turn 3 go to Army of Darkness/Phantasm III levels.

[sCabbOy]

I just think the comedy spoils every bit of the atmosphere that makes it a good horror movie. At times it tried to be horror, and then at times it seemed like a teen sex comedy.

[Sketch Sanchez]

The one girl you'd root for, the goody-goody girl who usually is the heroin died first!



Thats like one of the best things about this movie

[sCabbOy]

Thats like one of the best things about this movie

The annoying characters survived too long though :)

[Sketch Sanchez]

I can agree with that.

However, I do think he was starting to "grow" as a character-at least once he and his partner made peace to work together. (We are talking about the skater dude right? He's the only annoying character that lived too long imo)

And I sorta felt bad for him once they both knew their time was up.

[Ron]

That was an awesome death scene though..

[NETRA]

The annoying characters

That pretty much covers everybody.

I thought this movie went downhill after the first death. My friends and I laughed with delight at the outset. But by the halfway point it had become a full blown MST3K experience with each of us making constant jokes at the movie's expense. I was very disappointed.

And, by the way, there weren't enough reality show cameramen. They wouldn't have had enough footage to put together a good show.

[i am SAW]

not as good as the first one, but still good. i was expecting a straight horror film like the first, but they took the comedy/horror route instead. very similar to Hatchet. starts out with a nice death scene, then about 30 minutes of stupid kids trying to be funny, then the blood bath kicks in with some gory death scenes. it's a great movie as a stand alone film, but still a little dissapointing compared to the original Wrong Turn.

[sCabbOy]

Yeah it was downhill after the first death... like a dive off the Grand Canyon.

[Fowlees]

I just think the comedy spoils every bit of the atmosphere that makes it a good horror movie. At times it tried to be horror, and then at times it seemed like a teen sex comedy.


Exactly !! It couldn't figure out what it was.....

Lets face it; it isn't fit to lick the boots of the origional, however its not a bad a piece of work as i thought it was gonna be, and it certainly isn't as bad as the likes of Lake Placid 2.

There are some very good scenes in the film but also some very poor ones too. As Scab said, it couldn't really figure out what direction it was gonna take next.

Worth watching though. Just don't expect too much.
