Any film that stars someone called Texas Battle and starts with the Eddie Grant song 'Electric Avenue' and a hilarious axe/tasty looking intestines based kill is off to a very good start with me!
(After 9 years of walking to work down a real Electric Avenue I am still not bored of singing it to myself each day and am obsessed with innards based FX! )Henry Rollins runs an 'end of the world' themed reality show and the mind bogglingly awful contestants get to entertain us by being murdered in various gruesome ways by our beloved inbred cannibal family!!
Amazingly, despite it looking as though it was made for pennies...so it looks CHEAP, it is a very enjoyable gorefest…

The sequel to Wrong Turn is a mixed bag. It strives to be a bigger, better, smarter movie but doesn't quite succeed. On the other hand it's somewhat enjoyable and has some great death sequences.
A young Hollywood director is filming a reality show in the woods. Drilled by a tough ex-military man, a group of contestants will have to survive in the wilderness and face challenges as teams of two if they want to win big. But they're in the wrong woods, and they soon run into the same group of cannibalistic inbreds as before.
This movie is very different. The scenario is different, the people are different, and it actually attempts to bring just a little bit more…

Brilliant sequel that requires nothing from the viewer except a twisted sense of humour and a tolerance for extreme gore. Rollins is great as a retired marine colonel hosting a reality TV survival show in the Virginian backwoods and the gore and violence is amped up to the max. No-brainer fun and it knows it.

Horrible movie, complete crap the longest 90 mins of my life
-
It's kind of worth watching just for the preposterously preposterous opening scene.

This film is far more fun than the first, and more gruesome and over the top .... which is awesome. Cringey at times, but a good sequel.

Henry Rollins is such a badass in this it pretty much made the entire movie for me. Actually, I found this entire movie to be suprisingly well-made and creative considering that I watched on the SciFi channel at 2 AM. The concept behind it is rather clever, the direction is suprisingly good for a movie like this, and there's a fun sense of humor to the whole thing. It's nothing incredible, but it's a pretty fun slasher movie all things considered.

Es algo cutre. Sus actores son un poco lo peor. El uso de la temática "reality" dentro de una saga es muy habitual en el terror adolescente pero el principal error es usar este recurso en la segunda parte de una saga.
La película pega un bajón cuando faltan 20/25 minutos pero se le perdona.
Dicho todo lo malo, presentemos lo bueno: Mejores muertes, más sangrientas, espectacular muerte inicial que se mea en toda la primera película al completo, buen desarrollo de la mitología de la saga.
Puede que tenga que esperarme a verla tantas veces como la primera para valorarla en igualdad de condiciones y comprobar que pasa el segundo/tercer visionado pero me ha gustado, a día de hoy, mucho más que la primera.

After a long time hearing about how great this is from various horror people/sites I usually trust, I finally saw this and I felt underwhelmed.
Sure there are some parts I definitely liked and it was gleefully gory. BUT, there are also some really stupid and insulting parts, and I wondered why they spent so much time on certain things then completely blew them off, making me wonder why they spent so much time on those things.
And talk about some annoying characters who overact at times and why did it have to rip off the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Henry Rollins in that role was pretty great but I wanted more from him.
Overall, I am not sure why certain people and sites went wild over this; sure it is better than what you'd expect from a direct to horror sequel to a random horror film, but it's not great overall.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

ultimately, a rehash of the original becomes one of the better genre sequels in years. there isn't much here for mass audiences, but fans of the original won't be disappointed by the new kills, expanded characters, and the almost-but-not-quite-cheesy reality show set up. and henry rollins is in it!
