Well, I saw the movie 1 hour ago, and I already said that I do not recommend this film to Because the video has many flaws, it does not focus on 'ugly' people, The name that has stuck, when they are moving, or go after the Human beings, and they were moving a lot to the camera. I did not find it much either. Joke, nor made an impression, for those who have not see, ready. I'm not from Talk a lot about giving opinions to the movies, but I say something small, from the Focus and motion.
A couple of game show contestants are sent into the forest, but the survival struggle becomes more than play when they discover the cannibals are chasing them for real. Henry Rollins as a retired military commander hosts the show, and he seems almost to enjoy the deadly challenge, preferring it over the silly game play that had been planned by the TV makers. In the best scene, he does something funny with a stick of dynamite to a character (Wayne Robson) who returned from the original movie. However, the other actors are nowhere near Rollins' qualities. A cheap and disappointing sequel, fortunately the following sequels became better, because they didn't just repeat the same formula. I voted 8/4/6/7/5/4 for the 6 movies.
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.
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.
