DVD Reviews of Wrong Turn 2 - Dead End (Unrated)
DVD Review: More gore for the horror
Summary: 5 Stars
The first installment of this movie was great. This new
version starts out a little corny, but the backwoods
freaks jump in quickly with their pursuit of food. Our
hero comes up with a good trick, blow em up, loved it.
If your'e a horror fan, you like the dark woods as a
setting, you'll love it. Keep it coming.
DVD Review: Don't take my word because I think a movie like C.H.U.D. is one of the GREATS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think people are hard to please when it comes to horror movies these days. They forget how simple horror movies were in the first place haha. If you are a true horror movie fan!...than you will keep in mind how simple most horror movie films are. I THINK THATS WHY WE LIKE THEM!!!...don't take that the wrong way!..this is not a "dumb-down" statement! The bonus for us horror fans is when a horror movie turns out to be original or better than the classic originals out there! I very rarely turn down a horror movie so don't take my advise please. I'm a fan of all horror movies like BAD TASTE to NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD! As long as the film has hart in it! If you enjoyed the first WRONG TURN than your in for a treat!!! Very rarely do any horror sequels out top there first!...this one does!!! This sequel ROCKS!!!! But please!..don't take my advise because I thought THE RUINS rocked too!!! It's about time we had a killer plant movie!!!DVD Review: Two Wrong Turns don't make it right
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought the original Wrong Turn was an average horror film at best, so I didn't exactly rush to see what I considered an unwarranted, direct-to-DVD sequel. I don't really understand the popularity of these inbred hillbilly cannibal freaks films. I for one have no real desire to watch unwashed, nasty, hideously ugly, radioactively mutated, two-legged pieces of subhuman flotsam going around killing and eating people. I just can't get in to something like that, no matter how much blood and gore you throw my way. I much prefer my horror with erotic undertones, and there's nothing sexy about atavistic regression. I must say, though, that I enjoyed Wrong Turn 2 slightly more than the original (but not enough to give it a better rating). The filmmakers deviated slightly from the standard sequel script (for the first half of the movie, anyway), and Henry Rollins adds a presence the first film lacked. On the down side, however, the opening scene ends in a laughably over-the-top manner - not a good omen for a serious horror movie. The director makes the same mistake at the very end, as well.
The setup for Wrong Turn 2 really involves no wrong turn at all (OK, maybe one at the very start). We're back in the state of West Virginia, but this time it's the setting of a post-apocalyptic reality game show called Apocalypse, hosted by tough ex-soldier (not to be confused with former Major Leagues MVP) Dale Murphy (Henry Rollins). I won't go over the rules of the game, but the gist is to survive over the course of five whole days in a world full of rigged post-apocalyptic dangers. Whoever scouted the area somehow missed the family of local degenerate cannibals that call the place home - but it doesn't take long for both contestants and crew to meet up with them. The six contestants are an interesting mix. You have an African-American former football player and all-around good guy (Texas Battle) that I dubbed "Tiger Woods;" a wise guy who can't stop hitting on the female contestants (Steve Braun); a tough, gung-ho female veteran of the war in Iraq (Daniella Alonso), some nice female eye candy (Crystal Lowe), a pretty girl whose troubled past has made her a survivor (Erica Leerhsen), and a producer turned contestant (Aleksa Palladino) who has to replace a reality show B-celebrity (Kimberly Caldwell) who never shows up (for a very good reason).
I don't have any real complaints about the special effects brought to bear here - there's one explosive death that's truly impressive, and the whole film is pretty much blood-stained. The hillbillies, of course, all look as ugly as homemade sin. The film doesn't boast a lot of character development, but it does give us a rare treat in the form of potential victims who all try to escape rather than stupidly walking into their own gruesome deaths. Notice I said "try to escape." I should also mention that there is one scene that is potentially controversial - and it has nothing to do with blood and gore. It definitely stands out in my mind, and you can't help but wonder why it was included in the movie. I don't know if the filmmakers were making a statement, or if they were just trying to generate a little more word of mouth publicity over the proverbial water coolers across the land.
All in all, Wrong Turn 2 is a decent little horror film, but one can only hope that this is the end of the line for the Wrong Turn franchise. Neither of the first two films is good enough to merit a third installment.
DVD Review: If you go down to the wood today you're in for a gory ride!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're one them folks who enjoyed Wrong Turn, then you'll love this!
Wrong turn 2 is a very gory horror film and is sure as hell not for thoes who has a week gut. The story is about six contestants in a reality t.v. gameshow hosted by Henry Rollins, where they must survive a remote West Virginia wasteland, it might take a while for killing to start, but when they realies they are getting picked off one by one by a pack hungry cannibals, the s**t hits the fan and gore lets rip big time. Ok so the acting is a bit cheasey, but what do you expect from a horror film, all in all this is a damn good horror flick, a must have for fans who loved the 1st film and for gore junkies like myself, will get their fix.
DVD Review: What a Ride
Summary: 5 Stars
Wrong Turn 2 is quite different from the original in several ways. The sequel to the more serious and atmospheric original Wrong Turn(2003) relies much more on action and gore. This is a largely gory flick folks. If you seek gore and guts in your horror movies, look no further. Truth be told, I had a blast watching this, and I like it a lot more than the original.
Wrong Turn 2 most certainly delivers on the action and death scenes. Many of which actually disturbed me a bit, and that hardly ever happens. The film is twisted! This makes the original look like a PG-13 film. I loved the effects. You can tell the makers of this film had a blast and really tried to put the best on screen as they could. The death scenes were pretty creative and convincing. Many of which are wild and I was shocked with a few. Very cool and twisted stuff.
Acting is another step up from the original. The original had very little good or even decent acting in my book. Some of which came off a bit too stale even for a horror film. This flick has much better acting. Some of which takes itself seriously when needed and can be a bit more campy when its called for. The film overall doesn't take itself nearly as serious as the original. I like that about this movie; it delivers all the goodies and never becomes overly serious. This type of film shouldn't, and it seems a lot of negativity comes from people expecting it to be a serious horror classic like The Omen or something. If you want that I don't recommend this. If you want a cool little flick that is a bit disturbing and is full of gory thrills then look no further.
Description of Wrong Turn 2 - Dead End (Unrated)
By adding the Japanese cult movie Battle Royale to Wrong Turn's cinematic puree of Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes, Wrong Turn 2 primes itself for some clever spins on the repetitive inbred-mutant-humans-hunt-and-eat-sexy-young-people genre. A pseudo-post-apocalypse Survivor-type game show brings five sexy young people (a bitchy vegan, a loudmouth skateboarder, a lesbian marine, a straight-laced jock, and a slutty...uh...apparently, she's just a slut) to the Appalachian woods, where inbred mutant humans start picking them and the TV crew off. Also along for the ride is the tough-as-nails host (Henry Rollins, Bad Boys II), who goes native and starts hunting the inbred mutant humans. Regrettably, the game plotline is soon tossed aside and the movie settles into a straightforward hunt-kill-eat scenario. But for fans of the genre, Wrong Turn 2 does a good job: The sequence of deaths is not entirely predictable and you get to see one pair of exposed breasts, two sets of exposed intestines, and literal barrels of gore. Featuring horror flick stars Erica Leerhsen (the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Crystal Lowe (Black Christmas), Texas Battle (Final Destination 3), Daniella Alonso (The Hills Have Eyes II), D-list celebrity hostess Kimberly Caldwell, and Aleksa Palladino (who once had a promising career in decent indie movies like Manny & Lo, The Adventures of Sebastian Cole, and Storytelling). --Bret FetzerGeneral DVDs
