Sequel to the hillbilly-horror hit finds a group of reality TV contestants lost in the West Virginia backwoods, where they're victimized by a family of inbred cannibals. Hilarity ensues.
This fast-moving little sickie doesn't just raise the bar set by the original, it totally obliterates it. Way more blood & guts, more disturbing imagery of cannibal family life, and a suitably crazed performance by Henry Rollins, who totally rules as the jarhead reality show host, put this one totally over the top.

Out of all of them this one was the best, blood looked real except for 1 scene, but it was very gruesome and fun and it scared the hell out of me.

A surprisingly good and enjoyably gory B-horror treat

"The original Wrong Turn had it's moments, but the direct to DVD sequel surprisingly outshines it in almost every way. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End finds the pack of forest dwelling inbred cannibals stalking the cast and crew of a reality TV, Survivor-esque show. What results next contains the basic, somewhat predictable horror elements, but Wrong Turn 2 is so gleeful in it's delivery that you'll look past it's shortcomings. The opening scene is worth the price of admission alone, the gore effects are surprisingly good and wonderfully grisly, and legendary Black Flag frontman and punk pioneer Henry Rollins heads a surprisingly decent cast that also includes Erica Leerhsen (the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) and Daniella Alonso (who dealt with another group of inbred cannibals in the recent, and dreadful, Hills Have Eyes 2) as well. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and as long as you don't either, you'll have a blast with Wrong Turn 2. All in all, if you're looking for a fun and gorey horror flick, you can do a lot worse than with what you get here."
Best Direct to DVD/Sequel in a long time!!!

"Wrong Turn 2 was a pleasant surprise viewing!!! I love the star of the 1st Wrong Turn film, Eliza Dushku, BUT this sequel blows the 1st one away!!! The gore is awesome and the terror train keeps going from start to end on this one!!! The script is cool and features some familiar faces in the flick such as Henry Rollins (Punk Rock and Poet God) and "Erica" from Blair Witch 2 (and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake).
The effects are awesome. The gore is on high octane yet is superbly effective within the storyline. People are blown up, axed, gutted, shot with arrows--they're even put through a grinder!! This family is more gruesome than both clans in the Hills have Eyes and the newer Texas CHainsaw Massacre Flicks!!!
This is a great gore horror flick to watch, with a decent story, acting and effects. If you love horror flicks, skip renting it and just buy it! It won't disappoint!!"
Rollins Rules!

"Henry Rollins made this otherwise average movie pretty decent. It seems to borrow tricks from another movie I recently saw, Severence. Maybe just a coincidence. There are better movies out there, but this one isn't bad and if you enjoy Rollins and his energetic characters, you will like this movie."
Nice Surprise..Gorier and better than the first

"Wrong Turn 2
Is one of the best straight to video horror movies and especially sequels I have seen.
The gore is abundant and the effects are very well done.
Henry Rollins is the stand out in the cast of good actors..
I loved wrong Turn and had reservations about liking this one but it did not disappoint in the least.The characters were likeable and the mutants were taken to a new level by adding female monstrosities and incestuous siblings.
I have watched it about 4 times already and will watch it many more times .
When I find a slasher movie especially a slasher in the woods movie I like from this era I'm so pleased because I'm a big fan of the early 80's slashers but every once in awhile a new movie comes out that satisfies me like Wrong Turn and wrong Turn 2.
Don't listen to the haters ..It's a great slasher flick.
I actually like this one better than the first because it's unapologetically politically incorrect and oozes in your face gore and carnage."
What a Ride

"Wrong Turn 2 is quite different from the original in several ways. The sequel to the more serious and atmospheric original Wrong Turn(2003) relies much more on action and gore. This is a largely gory flick folks. If you seek gore and guts in your horror movies, look no further. Truth be told, I had a blast watching this, and I like it a lot more than the original.
Wrong Turn 2 most certainly delivers on the action and death scenes. Many of which actually disturbed me a bit, and that hardly ever happens. The film is twisted! This makes the original look like a PG-13 film. I loved the effects. You can tell the makers of this film had a blast and really tried to put the best on screen as they could. The death scenes were pretty creative and convincing. Many of which are wild and I was shocked with a few. Very cool and twisted stuff.
Acting is another step up from the original. The original had very little good or even decent acting in my book. Some of which came off a bit too stale even for a horror film. This flick has much better acting. Some of which takes itself seriously when needed and can be a bit more campy when its called for. The film overall doesn't take itself nearly as serious as the original. I like that about this movie; it delivers all the goodies and never becomes overly serious. This type of film shouldn't, and it seems a lot of negativity comes from people expecting it to be a serious horror classic like The Omen or something. If you want that I don't recommend this. If you want a cool little flick that is a bit disturbing and is full of gory thrills then look no further."
