****NOTE: Referring to the Unrated Version****
A retired military commando (Dale Murphy) decides to host a reality show, where the young participants are challenged to survive in a remote West Virginia wasteland. Little do they know that the woods is home to a breed of deformed cannibalistic hillbillies, who are picking them off one by one.
I don't think I have anything good to say about Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007), and why would I? Here is a movie that is so sick and cynical in its relentless violence and torture scenes, that it led me to the hearts of the filmmakers. Why was this movie even made?!
The characters are, more or less, the usual set of teenagers we've seen in countless other horror movies, from the jock, the womanizer, the "odd girl" who could care less, and the spoiled brat. But imagine the sick message this movie has for its teen viewers: The primary function of teens is to be hacked to death, no matter what their dreams and hopes are.
I enjoy a good horror movie sometimes. Some have a plot, some don't, and of course, there are ones that about as bad as this one.
The original film, while not a great one, was at least atmospheric and suspenseful. Wrong Turn 2, on the other hand, is 90 minutes of teenagers being introduced and then being stabbed, tortured impaled, chopped up, and mutilated. It's like watching a film written by a perverted scriptwriter. That's all this movie is. It is just mindless, bloody violence. I felt guilty just watching this movie.
And by not giving too much away, the movie opens doors for another sequel. Someone should tell them they've already taken the bucket to the cesspool by making this one.
