It doesn’t hit DVD shelves until October 9th, but I just got an early look at the new Wrong Turn 2: Dead End DVD from Fox, a follow-up to the rather crappy 2003 flick Wrong Turn starring Eliza Dushku. Looking back at my review for that movie it amazed me at some of the things that I wrote when I take Wrong Turn 2 into consideration…
Things such as:
“Outside the realm of possibility” is the idea that has made horror movies forever, but they fall short when they add nothing new. Nothing new is exactly what Wrong Turn offers.
…and then…
The one place this movie strayed from the typical horror movie was no nudity, which really would have made it all too cliché, so for that I am thankful.
Wrong Turn was a horror film cliché despite the no nudity aspect, and while Wrong Turn 2 has its clichés (two bouncing breasts included), I am talking major clichés that were avoided with this one.
I will now warn you that what follows contains spoilers. In order to get my point across I actually have to spoil the ending. All spoilers have been blacked out (example: this is an example), so if you want to read the spoilers highlight the blacked out areas.
My hat goes off to Lynch and screenwriters Turi Meyer and Al Septien for turning in a direct-to-DVD horror film worthy of watching and a movie I would recommend any horror fan at least give a once over.
