Wrong Turn 2: Dead End

I really loved Wrong Turn. It was campy, gory fun. Eliza Dushku is always yummy, and Desmond Harrington is a great yummy guy too. The scenes were tense, and I never drive through those many small towns on the way to New Mexico without thinking of Wrong Turn. The sequel wasn’t as good, of course, but it was still a pretty decent follow-up to the original. After all, Henry Rollins was in it.

In Wrong Turn 2, six 20-somethings sign up to participate in a survival reality show. They must survive the ”apocalypse” which unfortunately is taking place in the middle of the West Virginia woods. I say unfortunately because those woods just happen to contain our favorite mutant cannibals who just love to eat fresh meat. The contestants are fresh pickings for the hungry family, and one by one they die in very sudden and gruesome ways.

Henry Rollins has a great time playing the head of the reality show, a tough as nails ex-military man who battles it out with the crazed cannibals. Erica Leerson from Texas Chainsaw Massacre the remake and Blair Witch 2 plays the angry vegan chick that fights her way through the forest.

Overall it was a fun straight-to-video flick with lots of gore. I thought the first had more suspense and scares, but this one was worth a rental.

Rating: 3 ½ Purrs for Henry Rollins and his very aggressive tattoos and playing with dynomite and you have to love that wood chipper thing
