Better Than The First?

I know what everyone is thinking, and I was thinking the exact same thing before I watched this movie. I too indeed thought it was going to be another chees-fest, low budget sequel, with absolutely nothing going for it. Truth be told folks, it's exactly the opposite of that, and shockingly good!.

The plot is somehow unique, with some originality mixed in, and not as many stupid cliches. Personally I felt the first film lacked the fast-paced adrenaline rush that Dead End has. I wasn't really engaged in the plot of the original, nor was I entertained as much I would have hoped. The two films are indeed completely different in terms of, well everything (except the cannibals of course). Opposed to a few friends traveling into deadly-cannibalistic territory, Wrong Turn 2 has several characters more, competing in some sort of reality show type-thing, pitting all of them up against quite a few deformed man eating freaks. It's the same old in terms of what you would expect from a wrong turn movie, but better.

If this would have had a chance in theaters, I can confidently say that it would have done pretty decently. As almost all direct-to-dvd films are low budget looking, and just plain bad, filled with cheesy dialogue and ridiculous acting, I am happy to finally see some signs of life in that particular department. While Wrong Turn 2 isn't perfect, it still sets the bar in the trilogy. Check it out, you just might have some fun!

Better than the first? heck yeah!
