Plots(1)
WRONG TURN 2 takes similar backwoods horror flicks like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES as its inspiration, providing visceral thrills aplenty, and the requisite amount of dumb teenage characters. The sequel focuses on the inbred mother and father characters who are parents to the villains of the first film. In this installment, the creepy duo plague the contestants of a SURVIVOR-like reality series when they get lost in the dreaded backwoods. (official distributor synopsis)

When you compare it to what followed in the series, this episode is actually still quite tolerable. Above all, there's really quite good gore here, and now and then you come across quite a good joke. But only now and then. It's the kind of horror movie where it's all about the effect and nothing else, and the atmosphere is logically absent.

It's your usual slaughter season in the Virginia agricultural cooperative that builds on somewhat stale genre mechanics and clichés, and puts under the knife a bunch of cocky youngsters with IQs only slightly higher than their mutant antagonists, but no one can deny that (at least in my eyes) it has a brutal pace, properly gory murders, amusing winks towards popular movie tropes (Rambo, Predator, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and one great character who decides to tackle evil in a truly exquisite way. An entertaining romp that may lack logic and real tension in the face of such vile, violent creatures, but otherwise everything about it, at least by the standards of a straightforward teen slasher, works pretty much to perfection.

This cheap slasher B-movie builds on the premise of its predecessor, but unlike the first instalment, it doesn’t come up with any original ideas, instead comfortably (and ostentatiously) using the premise of the Japanese Battle Royale and popularized elements from Predator (Henry Rollins as a tough tattooed Marine) and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (a girl tied to a chair during the festive dinner). Even the actors in the first instalment were better cast and more diligent, while here they are mediocre and forgettable.
