Review of Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007) by Xou X — 02 Feb 2010

Considering that the original Wrong Turn "filled with cliche fest" was extremely intolerable, this gorey but goofy flick that takes shots at reality television and inbreds makes the experience seem amendable. Its cast is superficial characters of common reality personalities along with premarital druggies found in slasher flicks. A blend of both that oddly enough fits well in this theme which seperates being the victim into pretending to be something of a victim.

Its shot to be a blair witch type project/Friday the 13th but fails to complete the sequence of thrills because we're to busy watching incest. Its a silly flick that has a complete criteria of gore and sex but lingers on the fact that it is a new fresh of ideas to the slasher genre. Adding reality t.v show to the already tired themes of forest music, girls being slutty, and people dying to easily.

To compliment this film makes me throbble and striking this film seems innapropriate. Its just enough to satisfy gore fans and stupid enough to laugh at its attempt of humour and glorified action that requires people to run, trip, cry, and slash. Its nothing of new and uses the cliches of the past to solidify our taboo.

Not the greatest thing to ever happen but looking at it with great potential, it seems to make more sense to at least watch it once. Its fun, kind of, but almost intolerable much like the original.
