Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

While out in the Virginia woods, a group filming the pilot for a survivalist reality TV show run across a group of deformed inbred cannibals intent on killing and eating them all, forcing them into a real-life race for survival against the vicious killers to get out of the woods alive.This was an awesome, brutal, hyper-gory and entertaining slasher effort that was much more enjoyable than expected and wasn't at all expected. One of the best elements here with this one is the outline of the proposed reality show they're attempting to film is quite fun and original and would've been quite a hit. The apocalyptic scenario is worn through really well here, and since they're given quite a lengthy introduction which makes for a solid layout and gives this a really enjoyable setup to lead into the action once they get going into the woods. The opening roadside ambush on the detour trail, the first encounters with the crew being seen over the game's video monitors and the great attack on the host along the treeline before getting abducted by the group get this going nicely along into some great chase scenes here. There's the chilling escape from their house where after watching them give birth on the table they have to run off into the woods which leads to some great chasing, a truly enjoyable ambush down by the river where a bikini-clad contestant is alerted to their presence by the blaring game contraptions and causing them to come roaring out of the jungle hacking away with the knife leading to a gruesome, bloody kill and the rather fun and thrilling scene where the host escapes and battles with the lone member left at the campground which features some solid action throughout as well as getting to up the brutality angle. That brutality angle is furthered in the final half where they're finally aware that somethings going on in the woods around them, the last set of traps in the forest as they get hunted rather viciously and setting the stage for the great finale in the abandoned plant. The setting is great, but once the family arrives there's plenty to like as the non-stop tormenting of the family forcing them into rather brutal attacks to stop them gives this some really over-the-top moments that gives this a lot to really like. Alongside the graphic and brutal gory kills, there's also a lot to really like here with the family as their demented nature, gruesome looks and hilarious social structure makes for some intimidating and imposing villains. These here give this a lot to really like, except for one sequence here most will spot easily. This is the lame and protracted dinner sequence in the finale which is a shot-for-shot lift of such a classic scene from another horror effort and even manages to crib the same mannerisms and mocking tone while doing so, an activity that flies in the Face of their established behavior only to showcase this homage which lowers it significantly. An early kill scene featured here is also worth mentioning for the CGI needed to showcase it is so distracting that there's nothing about it that works. Beyond that, there's nothing really wrong with this one.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity.

Oh my God, where to begin with this one. It actually had a decent concept to begin with but had the worst execution possible. The idea of this one was to have the victims on a survivor type show. This idea could have given a wealth of ideas and concepts but everything was absolutely terrible. I cannot believe there are people here rating the film so highly. I've seen almost 1600 films and this is probably the worst I have seen out of all of those! (the only film I can think coming close to it is Tusk)It had: TERRIBLE actors, TERRIBLE characters. TERRIBLE makeup, TERRIBLE dialogue, TERRIBLE music, TERRIBLE ideas.Its F'n TERRIBLE MURIAL!Overall Opinion: Avoid this like the plague! Oh my good God.

Where to begin? Wrong Turn 2 takes its' own wrong turn as being the most terrible movie ever. Trust me. This film is full of disappointments. I have not all seen a sequel do this bad before. Except for one which is Rob Zombie's Halloween II. But in real good horror films I have never seen this. Usually it's the third film that brings it all down. But surprisingly this one did bring it down really far. And after this one there was no turning back. I have but one question. Why? Can someone who's a film expert because I'm just a critic. Please explain to me why this film was made. Because from my point of view it just doesn't make any sense. This might as well have been the same story over again in just a different situation. To me all of The Wrong Turn films are the same. If you've seen the first film you've seen them all.

Normally I stay away from straight to DVD movies, especially sequels because they are usually terrible and cheap looking and awful acting. But when I came across "Wrong Turn 2" I was actually eager to see it, as I really liked the first one and I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. They really upped the ante with this one, we get more deaths and more splatter which I really enjoyed. The storyline in this one, we get a group of people filming a reality show which was rather fun and interesting, and I could tell from the opening death a woman sliced in half is that this movie was gonna be awesome. I was a bit sceptical at the reality show setting as in the past when slasher movies have tried this, they usually don't really work, but in this it works to full effect and plus we get more inbred mutants to add to the fun. But there are a few drawbacks in this movie, like firstly it does lack the tension and atmosphere the first movie had and instead opting for more blood splatter and gore, and the fact that we see way too much of the mutants which did take away the overall terror and this movie was still fun and slick.The acting in this was actually not what I expected, it was really good. Henry Rollins was fun as the ex-marine turning Rambo without being ridiculous. Erica Leerhsen really gives it her all and comes across as one of the more fleshed out characters in this movie and Texas Battle also really stood out and believable as he turns hero throughout the latter half of the movie. Daniella Alonso also gives a stand out performance as the female army soldier. Steve Braun plays the joker of pack pretty well, Crystal Lowe was gorgeous playing the token slutty character but she played the part really well and I also enjoyed her in the (Black X-Mas remake), Aleksa Palladino made me really feel for her as the put upon plain girl whose treated like dirt and I felt sad when her time ended as she didn't get the opportunity to get her own back and Matthew Currie Holmes was extremely unlikeable and self absorbed but he did it well.All in all "Wrong Turn 2" is fun fast paced and slick all the right ingredients for a sequel, it's a pity that the further sequels doesn't follow suit.
