"Wrong Turn" had its charms (ick) but "Wrong Turn 2: Dead End", is actually better in many ways. It's still a derivative film, which borrows from TCM, etc., but still, one character has already had her face bitten off & has been lopped in half before the opening credits are finished running, egad! The premise is that a bunch of young folks are out in West Virginia to film a pilot for a "reality TV show" that's one of these survival things, and the gist is that they're supposed to survive off the land & stuff; I doubt there was any mention of having to fend off crazed mutated hill-folks to win the prize, otherwise they'd probably not have chosen to participate. Some participants do happen across some yummy barbecue over an open fire though, mm-mm, those folks sure do know how to cook up a mean barbecue. Warning: never eat found barbecued meat while wandering through the woods. Henry Rollins (former singer for Black Flag, like THIRTY YEARS AGO!) is still a formidable presence, he plays an ex-Marine & the host of our little show. There's lots of gore & mayhem although it's carried out much more imaginatively than your usual "slice & dice" fare. There's even some time for a bit of character development, too. The wooded setting is a much better scenario for rampaging mutant hill folk than the desert too (e.g. Hills Have Eyes). Pretty impressive stuff for direct to video. This should have been released to theaters & not crap like "Hills Have Eyes 2". 7 out of 10.
