Wrong Turn 2: Dead End - Extreme Edition (Uncut) [2007] [DVD]

👍

wrong turn is a strong and brilliant modern slasher horror and this sequel actually does it justice by being a great continuation of the franchise, another strong entry to the series, a bigger cast this time with a group of young contestants all taking part in a reality TV show for a cash prize, but what they don't realise is what's waiting for them deep in the west Virginia woods (but we do) plenty of bloody gory carnage to be had here, lots more than the original, lots of great imaginative kills, very bloody this time round all on a very good budget too, the movie also has a better and bloodier open sequence, the cast is great here too Henry Rollins plays a retired marine commander who's running the live show, he's a great actor playing a very macho Rambo like character, Daniella Alonso (hills have eyes 2 remake) Erica Leerhsen (The Texas chainsaw remake) and Crystal Lowe (final destination 3) provides the boobs and very nice they are! There's many more freaks this time too providing much more carnage and action, this is one great horror sequel that's certainly worth picking up if you love the original.Good picture quality on the UK DVD (Fox)Lots of good features including a commentary, making of, and more.Region 2 Pal, 92-mins, 2008.

Great hillbilly film but there are some blindingly obvious rip offs of other films (there is a dinner scene loaded with references to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and several tips of the hat to Arnold Schwarzenegger). Initially that annoyed me, but actually I think they are more cheesy homages which are tongue in cheek than serious rip offs. There are some fantastically gory/nasty deaths which are all really original and I really jumped at a few bits. There is some truly appalling all American cheese in the dialogue which had me laughing out loud but this is another reason I'll grow to love this film I think because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Whilst it lacks the genius of Hostel (which is a masterpiece in my opinion) it is a great all out gore-fest which is highly entertaining and watchable. They should've included more of the high pitched/maniacal redneck laughs but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Old good horror

So many horror films have a similar theme - teens being stalked and slaughtered by weirdos, cannibals, and inbred degenerates, but no movie reaches a peak of explicit gore like this!Makes other movies like Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes etc look tame!

The disc that turned up was region A so I couldn't play it. Not happy

Excellent Blu-Ray..it was delivered within the estimated date of delivery..the DVD cover is in German & so is the audio..this DVD does play in English as well..the picture quality is awesome and was brilliant to watch..the wife is very pleased as she fully enjoys the Wrong Turn Franchise.

Curiously watchable. The sort of film you could almost write a review on without actually seeing it as you instinctively know it's not going to push any boundaries in film making or horror and will invariably be heavily influenced by and derivative of much more original and superior films of its type.Having said that what 'Wrong Turn 2' does it mostly does well. Quite gore laden, the characters weren't as irritating as they first appeared and in any case didn't hang around long enough to outstay their welcome. There was a back story about a survivalist reality tv show of which the cast of this film were participants or crew, providing an adequate excuse as to how they came to be in the heavily forested backwoods of West Virginia. The special effects team went to town on the prosthetics of the murderous inbred hillbillies, rendering them looking faintly ridiculous; but what they lacked in good dentistry and good looks they made up for with exceptional strength and being impervious to being struck by vehicles.Some of the deaths were really quite good. I wavered quite a lot on WT2's merits whilst watching it but it is the type of film to sit back and let it wash over you, admiring the neat axe work, mincing machines and vat loads of blood on display. I watched one of the extras showing the planning of some of the slayings and it came across, as it did while watching the film, how much fun everyone seemed to be having. I look forward to seeing the commentary at some point with Henry Rollins who put in a good turn.Not disimilar to and certainly no less brainless than 'Frontiers' a French horror that on average scores higher than this. If you liked the first Wrong Turn and more or less can guess what to expect with this you may like it; if you didn't like the first or have intelligence as a prerequisite for your horrors, best look elsewhere.
