We Get A Review Of WRONG TURN 2 From Frightfest!

The first one was excellent... by JackPumpkinhead	Aug 29th, 2007 05:49:23 AM
But sequels rarely are. Especially cheap ones.
I love Hillbilly rampage flicks by KillaKane	Aug 29th, 2007 05:50:49 AM
Wrong Turn was pretty good, will check this sequel out.
I don't know by JonJonB	Aug 29th, 2007 06:37:28 AM
I've never been comfortable with people who take so much delight in plain, unashamed gore. Is it right for an audience to "cheer and applaud" an on-screen death on the merits of how gruesome it is? Besides that, Wrong Turn was the essence of ass. This sounds no better
Oh, yeah...that movie by CuervoJones	Aug 29th, 2007 06:41:21 AM
I forgot.
The movie and Director freakin ruled! by jimmythenut	Aug 29th, 2007 06:45:09 AM
I also happened to be at this years Frightfest for the entire weekend and Wrong Turn 2 was one of the unexpected delights. I hated the first movie with a passion, and didn't really wanna see this one, but after the Joel (the Director) introduced himself to me outside the cinema by saying 'Maniac Cop 3 was amazong' I had an inkling that the movie might not be what I was expecting. It was a supremely funny, amazingly horrific whirlwind of a film. The performances are excellent and the overall look of the film is spot on. This is what the first one should have been but wasn't cause it lacked the balls. Watch and cheer!
Wolf Creek was a terrible movie by emeraldboy	Aug 29th, 2007 06:47:59 AM
it was on tv here last. absolutely dreadful. It was on at the same time in the deep end with tilda swinton. That's RTE for you. One had the deep end and while two had wolf creek. Take the scene where the nutty outback resident stabs one of the females in the back cutting her spine and leaves her to bleed to death.
I saw wrong turn on tv by emeraldboy	Aug 29th, 2007 06:49:35 AM
utter crap.
Wrong Turn was great.... by Captain RawBeard	Aug 29th, 2007 06:50:54 AM
I enjoyed the first film, but had fears about this sequel. but so far from what I have read this is going to be awesome. Hope they round it off with a decent 3rd film as well.
Maniac Cop 3 is amazing by CuervoJones	Aug 29th, 2007 06:51:33 AM
bring back that zombie cop!
PLANT, Robert by unclemeat	Aug 29th, 2007 06:51:58 AM
Used to sing for Led Zeppelin. Come on...WRONG TURN 2?
Dead End is a good little movie... by tonagan	Aug 29th, 2007 07:04:10 AM
Saw it on cable one night, starring Ray Wise. Thought it was going to be a slasher film, but it turned out to be a clever little TZ-type film.
Theres not enough mutant rape in horror movies today by My Ass Smells	Aug 29th, 2007 07:20:56 AM
i think all the ladies out there would agree.
Oh, by the way... by My Ass Smells	Aug 29th, 2007 07:21:54 AM
Darkman 2 and 3 were some of the worst pieces of shit to come out in a long time. This reviewer is a goddamn moron.
I only saw WRONG TURN... by Vamp-AICNchat	Aug 29th, 2007 07:31:01 AM
...a few weeks ago for the first time and I thought it was fun. It wasn't great, but it wasn't shit, it was just a fun horror movie. I will watch WRONG TURN 2, not on the cinema but i'll buy it on DVD.
Vamp-AICNchat You 'Div': by biggerjohn	Aug 29th, 2007 08:04:15 AM
Of course you won't see it in the cinema (they just said it's not getting a theatrical release? Also,if this film doesn't have Faith in it (the one redeeming feature of the terrible, terrible original) then why bother?
SWEET! by StrokerX	Aug 29th, 2007 08:07:59 AM
I loved Wrong Turn! It was fun...and that red head at the beginning was HOT!!!!! Love those booty shorts....reeooww.
Hang On... by Ruddy Heck	Aug 29th, 2007 08:16:14 AM
So DTV is now some sort of bastion for genuinely-great-movie-sequels- that-outdo-the-original-in-eve ry-way-but-are-too-just-too-su per-intense-for-the-cinema? And here I was thinking it was a cheap avenue for releasing shite. Gimme a break.
My only problem with the original WRONG TURN by godoffireinhell	Aug 29th, 2007 09:00:25 AM
was that it was obvious not just from frame one but actually just from the casting announcement that Desmond Harrington and Eliza Dushku would be the two survivors at the end while all the unknown actors and actresses would end up getting killed. That and the fact they ditched the whole necrophilia scene from the script even before filming started.
Wrong Turn 4: Mayor Nagin's Chocolate City by TheBloop	Aug 29th, 2007 09:19:51 AM
New Orleans Mayors shows up in town, and declares god wants the mountain town to an all africa-american city, so all the mutants are forced to move out. Beats putting up with all the gang shootings.
Godfather II would have gone straight to video... by tonagan	Aug 29th, 2007 09:23:50 AM
If such a thing existed back then. Empire Strikes Back, as well.
"The Condemned" meets "Deliverance"...riiight. by Mike_D	Aug 29th, 2007 09:26:39 AM
What a fucking plant. As if you can over-dramatize yourself as a 'hard core horror fan', I cant believe he mentined "Splash Too".
Dead End's Score by SadCadillac	Aug 29th, 2007 09:29:43 AM
Isn't this film scored by Battlestar Galactica's Bear McCreary? Care to comment on his work for the film?
This is the story of a man named Jed by Smerdyakov	Aug 29th, 2007 09:38:03 AM
An inbred mutant had to keep his family fed;then one day some tourists passing through; provided his family with some tourist barbecue.
I've always wanted to see by liljuniorbrown	Aug 29th, 2007 09:40:42 AM
Rollins as a bad ass mother fucker taking no prisoners and beating the shit out of bad guys. I'm no "gore hound" or torture porn pervert, but this movie sounds interesting if nothing but for Mr. Black Flag himself kicking ass and taking names. If he's offed in the fist ten minutes i'm out.
"...you want what it says on the tin!" by GrantChastain	Aug 29th, 2007 09:44:51 AM
I have parsed this sentence multiple times, even in the context of the rest of the paragraph, and have no idea what this expression is supposed to mean. Is this British?
Wrong Turn 5: Chris Benoit's Family Vacation by Spandau Belly	Aug 29th, 2007 10:04:55 AM
Like Chevy Chase meets Leatherface!
gotta amp up the gore for the torture porn addicts! by BMacSmith	Aug 29th, 2007 10:10:36 AM
its hard to blow your load unless the gore is ever escalating
I think I'll give it a go. by elharlock	Aug 29th, 2007 10:19:33 AM
"Wrong Turn" wasn't horrible, and it was worth a purchase once it hit the cheap bin. I've seen way too many movies of this type and there's a lot out there that make "Wrong Turn" look like "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre". This sequel sound slike it's a bit more fun than "The Hills Have Eyes" remake sequel, at least. "Wrong Turn 2" should be good for a night of beers and budget horror. I mean, most of us grew up watching crappy movies with our friends for laughs, right? So even if this film is crap, it at least has the potential to be entertaining crap. Plus, I like Rollins. He was pretty good in "Feast".
hmm, can't think of any genuine scares, tension, by pikagreg	Aug 29th, 2007 10:19:55 AM
or dialogue...i know, lets creativley kill people!if you can't scare 'em, just gross them out!

wrong turn....two :-( by max404	Aug 29th, 2007 10:39:31 AM
even if it were half decent, why not make a NEW and perhaps even ORIGINAL "video nasty" kill alll sequels
First one had Eliza Dushku tied to a bed... by Osmosis Jones	Aug 29th, 2007 10:56:36 AM
...and that is the ONLY reason I own that crap on DVD.
Err, godoffireinhell... by Stalin vs Predator	Aug 29th, 2007 11:06:17 AM
Elisa who? Speaking, for instance, for myself, the only actor I knew in "Wrong Turn" was Jeremy Sisto. I still don't know the bald guy's name, though I do remember his character was a doctor - and yes, he was being set up as the "I will probably survive" character since the beginning, but then again, we've seen so much shitty "twist on old cliches" attempts from trash directors like Aja or Roth that it was actually refreshing to see a good old horror cliche again. Schmidt's film was a fun, solid throwback and homage to the backwood survival horror of the 70s and 80s (by the way, the Canadian "Rituals"/"The Creeper", with Hal Holbrook, recently came out on DVD... anyone want a spare copy? :) - it's only fitting that it paid homage to their traditional cliches, too.
Oh HILLBILLY torutre porn.. now thats vital! by Baron Karza	Aug 29th, 2007 11:18:27 AM
For a second there I thought it was just going to be stupid SHIT. NOW I see..
GrantChastain by Zino	Aug 29th, 2007 11:28:37 AM
It comes from a commercial they had over here in the UK for wood stain. Some dipshit would stand there and go 'Ronseal 5-year woodstain...stains your wood for 5 years', and then he would end it with 'Ronseal...does exactly what it says on the tin'. I didn't know this one had entered popular culture.

Eliza Dushku by TheBloop	Aug 29th, 2007 12:53:51 PM
Hot, Hot, and Friggin Hot. Only a minor, I said minor, breast job could make her hotter. Faith rocks my crank alrighty,
OMFG.... by The Dum Guy	Aug 29th, 2007 01:12:25 PM
When I first watched Wrong Turn I thought they should have gone with the more generic name "Dead End" instead. But, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that.
special edition of part 1? by Bouncy X	Aug 29th, 2007 01:26:15 PM
considering how soon this is coming, i'm surprised there isnt a special edition of the first movie coming...come on fox, milk those dvds. btw, this sounds cool and i'll definately give it a rent since i like the first a lot.
I missed the first WRONG TURN. by LoneGun	Aug 29th, 2007 01:28:38 PM
This sounds excellent. I'll have to catch up and see the first one.
Shoot me!.... by mastes360	Aug 29th, 2007 01:56:14 PM
But i liked the first Wrong Turn, it was one of the better slasher/horror flicks that they keep releasing every month. This sequel sounds like it will be a good laugh as well.
Henry Rollins by Series7	Aug 29th, 2007 02:14:54 PM
Now I am a huge Henry Rollins fan, watch the show, listen to the music stand up and what not. But there has not been much to his acting career that has me "definitely interested to see how this would turn out". Bad Boys 2, Jack Frost, Johnny Mnemonic, The New Guy. He has admitted that he will be in any movie just because, thats all I am saying, nothing against Henry. Just saying that his name being in a cast is more suspicious then anything.
the biomind by RockLobster800	Aug 29th, 2007 02:33:48 PM
are you taking the piss, or just a month behind the rest of the world?
Feast and WrongTurn 2 by skimn	Aug 29th, 2007 02:56:38 PM
A banner year for Mr. Rollins. And the DirectToVideo Best Actor Of The Year goes to.......The words "best" and DTV don't belong in the same sentence.
Rollins+Feast=Video Nasty by riddleman1674	Aug 29th, 2007 02:56:54 PM
'nuff said..... Sounds like Wrong Turn 2 might breathe some light into the endless abyss of DTV sequel schlock. I'm intrigued now by this review. Bring it on.
Thank You to Dread Central for sending in this review. by MaxTheSilent	Aug 29th, 2007 03:22:02 PM
Because not a single person on earth outside of yur website gives a flying fuck about this movie.
Soylent Mean by abner pepper	Aug 29th, 2007 03:41:52 PM
Sorry mate but i thought Reeker reeked of shit.
Lol, CRAPtivity, Lol by grungies	Aug 29th, 2007 04:01:36 PM
Wasn't Roland Joffe just a little overqualified for that? I'm not a huge fan or anything, but you'd think the director of The Killing Fields could get better projects...
Hey Tonagan by TheBladehelm	Aug 29th, 2007 04:11:21 PM
Please tell me you're kidding about Godfather 2 and Empire Strikes Back being DTV candidates had there been DTV at the time. This is by far one of the most idiotic things I have ever read in a talkback on this site (and that's saying something) so I can only assume that you were being sarcastic. If so, bravo. Excellent point. If not, well, um, wow, congratulations for outdumbing every single talkback I have ever read.
How about a hillbilly who comes to New York. by C.K. Lamoo	Aug 29th, 2007 04:52:31 PM
And gets chopped up and eaten by Jewish Liberals. You could call it, "Oy Vey, did you make a wrong turn."
Entrails!! by alan6012	Aug 29th, 2007 04:53:35 PM
I was at this viewing and frankly the film is a pile of crap. Everyone at FF cheered every kill in every movie not just WT2. I was hoping for great things as the opening scene is fantastic but after that it become the "entrails" movie. I think the stomach entrails are in every scene and are surprised to see they are not list as a supporting actor on the credits. It is a splatter movie but it lacks ANY sort of suspense. There are no jumps at all cause you can see whats coming - even if you were in next door watching the simpsons!! And as for character development it is just a hotchpotch of stereo types. Army sargent? Check. Cheating boyfriend? Check. Tough as nails lesbien? Check. DTV? Check.
Enjoyed the first one by barnaby jones	Aug 29th, 2007 05:24:01 PM
but without that bird who was occasionally in Buffy, i'm not too interested !!
M-oM by emeraldboy	Aug 29th, 2007 05:30:21 PM
I never said the deep end was terrible. just wolf creek and Wrong turn. Both movies were on at the same time which is typical of rte. I never said that the deep end was terrible.
I don't know if I want to be in a theater full of... by Larry of Arabia	Aug 29th, 2007 05:38:35 PM
people who cheer when "SPOILER...two inbred cannibal mutants gut a woman, spilling her intestines, and then hack her in half straight down the middle. . . each pick up one half of her corpse, and carry it to their truck." Eh, maybe it's just me.
Review of Wrong Turn: Blah, blah, cute skinny redhead, by CreasyBear	Aug 29th, 2007 05:50:38 PM
blah, blah, blah Eliza Dushku, Eliza Dushku's pouty lips, Eliza Dushku's voluptuous body in tight clothing, blah, blah, blah. The End! (Was it a horror movie or what? Can't remember.)
I have seen nearly all of Kubricks Movies by emeraldboy	Aug 29th, 2007 06:01:30 PM
Shinining is the best. Great acting, great cinematograhy, stunning scenery, nicholson going nuts is a terrifying thing to watch. The documentary by one of his daughters, was absolutely thrilling, illuminating and informative. Jon Ronson(the men who stare at goats) is Putting together a documentary about kubrick, He was talking about and it sounded like it was going to be the defintive article. He met Kubrick and he wrote about the meeting in his new book called ordinary world. Ronson was given unprecedented access to Kubrick's archive. I cant wait to see that. As for the excorsist. That was banned in IReland for Many years. Untill very recently, when it was unbanned John Kelleher, the new irish censor. Saw Mark Kermodes documentary, which was superb. They showed the film after that. Its amazing how hype can kill a film sometimes. After waiting all that time to see it, I was kind of let down, somehow. I think it was because by the time i did see the movie it was so imitated, especially the head spinning and Lesley Neilsen' spoof that the original seemed outdated or something. For thirty years the talk was massive about the exorcist was massive. But then at that time , in the republic of Ireland you only had to look at the news to see the real horror of The ira's war with the british on the streets of the North. That was real Horror.
this one is vastly superior to the original... by s0nicdeathmonkey	Aug 29th, 2007 06:04:53 PM
and I LIKED the original. Also, nice to see some love for American Psycho 2. Funny little movie.
The world... by Tourist	Aug 29th, 2007 06:13:18 PM
...would probally make alot more sense to me if you could exchange the derision heaped upon Wrong Turn for the praise showered on Cabin Fever.
Don't know how Kubrick got brought up by sammylou	Aug 29th, 2007 06:27:11 PM
but I love his stuff. This weekand a theater in St. Louis is showing the Shining at midnight and I'm definately going

You enter a TB for an Oliver Stone film by skimn	Aug 29th, 2007 06:38:08 PM
and are assaulted by crazed lunatics.....you've made a......WRONG TURN!!!!!
Wrong Turn 4: Live Wrong, Turn Hard by performingmonkey	Aug 29th, 2007 06:51:17 PM
I agree that Wrong Turn was definitely better than the shitfest that was Cabin Fever (the ONLY good thing in that movie (apart from the sex scenes) was the 'niggers' gun joke)
I made a wrong turn by Blue Meanie 1138	Aug 29th, 2007 08:17:12 PM
..and rented WRONG TURN. 90 minutes of my life I can't get back.
Wrong Turn was terrible. by McFrye	Aug 29th, 2007 08:52:22 PM
The only reason I wasted an hour and a half of my life watching Wrong Turn was because I couldn't sleep and because of Emmanuelle Chriqui.
When in doubt by MrQuick	Aug 29th, 2007 09:22:13 PM
buy your gas in Kentucky or Ohio or Virginia, and Makes sure that your car has its proper oil changes, and tune ups prior to rolling through West VA. appalachia. I mean seriously how many times does this need to be said.
The first one was pretty good... by quantize	Aug 29th, 2007 10:24:06 PM
haters kiss my f ass you aint no horror fans!
WRONG TURN 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO by Fa Fa Fooey	Aug 29th, 2007 10:28:43 PM
Yeah, I said it.
The only thing on Irish tv that are both terrible and by emeraldboy	Aug 30th, 2007 06:01:33 AM
confusing are the RTE schedulers. Two movies on at the same time but on different channels owned by the same company. Thats annoying. Has anyone seen Felicias Journey with elaine cassidy. Now that is a great horror film it is directed atom egoyan. You have to have nerves of steel to watch that movie all the way to the end. Hoskins has never been better. That is one of the creepiest, most nerve shredding, I have ever scene. Sir william trevor is a genius. The story is about girl and boy. They both live a repressed conservative town in Ireland in the 1950's. He joins the british army, she is pregnant and a schoolgirl. She goes to follow him in grim industrialised birmingham and bumbs into the kindly but very sinister Mr shoreditch and I wont say anymore.
The first one by kilik777	Aug 30th, 2007 02:16:01 PM
was a pleasant surprise. Im looking forward to seeing this at Fantastic Fest. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
felicias journey by emeraldboy	Aug 30th, 2007 04:18:47 PM
is a great but underrated horror movie. Hoskins has never been better in my opinion and indeed the actors are magnificent. What appears to be a story of doomed love, turns into something very dark, gripping and sinister. it is slightly predictable. But when felicias journey end it is utterly nerve shattering and packs a hell of a punch. you really have to have nerves of steel to watch it.
I remember FELICIA'S JOURNEY. by LoneGun	Aug 31st, 2007 03:08:25 AM
It was really well-acted and quite unsettling. Good movie.
