My Thoughts:
It was fun seeing a young Jennifer Aniston (Friends) in this movie. Of course this more is done more for fun then horror... there is a load of comedy mixed in. But I definitely enjoy it for what it is. Not to mention Jennifer Aniston looked great in those tight shorts!

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End, a review by Jimmy

Title: Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)

Genre: Horror
Director: Joe Lynch
Rating: 16+
Length: 1h37
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1:78.1
Audio: English, French and Spanish
Subtitles: English and Spanish

Stars:
Erica Leerhsen   
Henry Rollins
Texas Battle
Aleksa Palladino
Daniella Alonso

Plot:
A post-apocalyptic reality show, in wich participants are challenged to survive a remote West Virginia wasteland, turns into a nightmarish showdown when the contestants realize they're being hunted for real by an inbred family of cannibals!

Not as bad as I expected it to be considering that everything I've seen before with a reality TV show premisses was awfull (the less said about Within the Woods the better it is). But this is more an excuse to have a group in the mountains than anything else. Also it is nice to have Erica Leerhsen in a staring role (that kind of made me want to rewatch Book of Shadows for the first in years) and, of course, Henry Rolliins kick ass. Common he was the singer of the great hardcore band Black Flags (not a whiny hemo band like we say so much these days) back in the days and he is an awesome poet.

Evidently the writers found a way to fuck the mythology of the wood people. They are like that because they had been breeding with one another for generations not because of some toxic waste from a closed industry in the woods. The effects are a little bit over the top and the CGI is too evident at time. Another small critic, the inbreds don't talk like us M. writers (and certainly not use words like shit or fuck) they have their own incomprehensible language (why would they talk in english since they live as hermits in the fricking mountains).

Anyway don't let my critics fool you this film isn't that bad, just a disappointing sequel.

This series is a based on a Stephen King book. There was also a movie based on it with Christopher Walken. The source material is very fitting as a premise for a TV series. I always enjoyed watching it. The first episode is a good introduction and has many elements which were also in the movie (I haven't read the book).
