Wrong Turn 2
If you want to be disgusted by watching people get cut up then grab a six pack of beer and hunker down.
Review by Sirus
If you haven’t heard of Wrong Turn 2, don’t feel bad. In fact, I envy you. If you are reading this, turn back now before you get it into your head that you should watch it. It has come to my attention that, soon after I started reviewing movies, I was somewhat easily amused by gore for the sake of gore. I don’t even want to try and figure out why I was so excited by it all but thankfully I am over it. Wrong Turn 2 is a completely cliché movie and is only moderately entertaining because they make fun of reality shows. Some up and coming television director and his girlfriend are starting the filming for a new reality show that is basically a survivor rip off. The twist is that instead of being in some island paradise, they are stuck into the woods to survive the apocalypse. No matter how you spin it, they are making another piece of crap reality show that nobody wants to watch.
As the six contestants split up into three teams of two, people start falling one by one. It seems they aren’t alone in these woods and some freakishly deformed people things are hunting them. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Seriously, they used the same basic premise in the first Wrong Turn movie and four The Hills Have Eyes movies just to name a few. Note to up-and-coming directors who want to show off gore: “Nobody wants to see freaks and especially nobody wants to see freaks making out or having sex. It’s just freaking gross.” Then you have a cast of rejects including a butch lesbian wannabe Xena, a bipolar vegan, and a bunch of other weirdoes that are almost as freakish as the freaks. Even the couple who seems to be in love has to go and fall apart because the guy can’t keep his pants on.
When you are past the totally overdone characters and horrible dialogue, all you have left is a movie that is obviously the director’s way of showing off his ability to gross people out. If you want to be disgusted by watching people get cut up then grab a six pack of beer and hunker down because you are going to be in for a bumpy ride. If you are hoping to be gripped by wanting to know what is going to happen next then you’ll have to look elsewhere. When you see the kind of pointless gore this movie has to offer you will either turn away in disgust or just shake your head in disappointment. If you want a movie that is completely devoid of emotional attachment or visceral thrills then add Wrong Turn 2 to your Netflix queue. I promise you nobody else is waiting for it.
