What to Expect

This Wrong Turn sequel reminded me a lot of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 in that it was a funny sequel to a serious movie. There's even a gross and gory dinner scene where they have the victim tied up, a direct nod to the infamous dinner scenes in all of the TCM movies. Aside from this though, it's its own movie through and through.

The movie kicks off with a super obnoxious entitled B-level celebrity who takes an ill-fated wrong turn en route to the rural production set. Within 30 seconds Wrong Turn 2 chalks up way more blood than all of Wrong Turn combined. I'm talking hilariously over the top splatter. Buckets of blood and guts. And a lot of giggling and chuckling by our mutant mountain men.

After this epic intro we meet all of the reality show contestants who are competing in a Survivor style contest. And as expected, only maybe one or two are likable, the rest are empty superficial cut-throat types. They all have their own sad cheesy stories that apparently motivate them to win a ton of cash by stepping on the throats of fellow contestants. It's a great cast though! Unlikable characters are fun to watch get killed off on crazy ways. And this Wrong Turn goes super crazy. It took the whole back woods mutant mountain man thing and doubled down on it hard. It went from a clan of three brothers to an entire extended mutant family, ugly baby and all. And yes, we get to see its bloody slimy birth.

Overall, Wrong Turn 2 is as bloody and funny as bloody and funny gets.

Movie Review: Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007) Review

Critic Reviews:

If you’re a fan of Wrong Turn (also a movie that had every right to suck and didn’t), chances are you’re going to love Wrong Turn 2: Dead End.

– Dread Central

It’s a stupid movie but it’s so easy to just sit back, relax & laugh at the silliness on show. So much so that it’s an easy recommendation.

– GBHBL

Though “Wrong Turn 2” does kind of deliver on the gore menu, it is nowhere in league with the first movie. I definitely recommend that you watch number one first so you can then see where they went wrong with the sequel.
