Wrong Turn 2: Dead End 4K 2007

I remember how the movie Wrong Turn scared me the first time I saw it. It all started when a pleasant-looking guy was driving along a provincial road through the mountains, where he accidentally collided with a car carrying young tourists. After that, the young people had to flee through picturesque places from the ugly maniacs who lived in the area. In this film, I saw allusions to The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and other famous slasher films. But the problem is that the film didn't make much money at the box office, and we didn't see a sequel in the cinema. However, a video sequel appeared a couple of years later, and it was quite scary.

The authors take us back to those cursed forests and mountains where we once saw a family of ugly provincials killing unfortunate tourists in every way possible. Now, television producers have decided to shoot something like The Last Hero in these parts. To do this, they sent a group of muscular guys and sexy beauties into the thickets to perform certain tasks.

But as you might guess, the family of maniacs is not sleeping. They went hunting, and ‘The Last Hero’ turns into a full-fledged slasher. Even the military consultant, whom the producers brought in to help the clueless Americans survive, is of no help. Well, all we can do is stock up on something tasty and watch to see who survives and for whom this trip will be the last in their life.

The budget for the second part was smaller than for the first, and it shows. It no longer has the same polish and expensive production values. In addition, they were unable to bring in any famous actors, and the cast is full of completely unknown faces. However, they act well, so there's nothing wrong with unknown actors.

The murder scenes are also well shot, although more attention could have been paid to the makeup. In the previous installment, both the maniacs and the victims looked much more natural, but here you can feel that it's all just a movie and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Overall, Wrong Turn 2: Dead End is weaker than the first installment, and there's no point in arguing with anyone about that. But if you compare this film with other video sequels, such as Road Trip 2, Joe Lynch has created a decent spectacle, a simple and straightforward classic slasher film that is good for one or two viewings in the company of fun-loving friends.
