Wrong Turn 2 is by no means ground-breaking. Don’t expect some brand-new polished horror concept that no director has ever thought of before. Fraid not. It follows that tried and tested and tried some more, concept of mutant in-breds in woods eating unfortunate passers by. Deep down we all secretly love it!..

Wrong Turn 2 puts a slightly different spin on it, by introducing the idea of a “Big Brother” style TV show called “Ultimate Survivor : Apocalypse” where six survivors of a ‘nuclear apocalypse’ have to live for five days for a shot at $100,000. There are some ground rules that you’re told, but in all honestly I forgot them before the show even begun, as the brutality kicks in from the word go. And boy does it kick in; from the very first death the film had a lot to live up to. I sat there dumb struck for a few seconds, then burst into laughter upon seeing it. More deaths like that please!

There are some eye-gougingly huge plot holes present that if you want to enjoy the film you must look over. Most obviously, who did the research for the show, and didn’t think to ask the family of inbred mutants nearby whether they would interfere? And how did they not notice them whilst putting up the 30+ video cameras that are used to record the show. Oh well. Maybe they were on vacation.

If you fancy cheering on a family of mutants, to wipe out a cast of (purposefully?) annoying wannabe celebrities, eagerly awaiting every death, then maybe you will just love this.

A long way from great but saved by Joe Lynch. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
