Liked the first one, will give this a chance but may rent before buying.

I really loved the first Wrong Turn (I thought it was a sign of the return of old school horror). As certain as I am of how much this will suck, I still hold out hope.

I always hoped (when I first heard of a sequel) they would do something like "Southern Comfort". Reservists or National Guard vs. inbred hick family, kinda like Dog Soldiers did with werewolves.

besides dave, who exactly was highly-anticipating this?

Well, I wouldn't say I was "highly-anticipating this", like I said, I'm sure it will suck.

I did really like the original and would "highly-anticipate" a well made sequel.

I'll give it a rental, but mainly for the commentary... No way I'd buy it though.

I know some people that have seen a good amount of footage from this and word is that it's a lot of fun and really bloody. I'm not expecting "the Citizen Kane of gore films", but it could be worth a watch. I'll probably jump on it once it hits $10.

I'll give it a rent.

Same here.

Me too. Direct to DVD sequels scare me, though. And not in a good way.

I'll take it ! Liked the first one so this will add to my collection.

Yes, Wrong Turn is a true love of mine. Along with Jeepers Creepers and Haute tension this film started a whole new wave of horror, and it will be a shame to witness this disaster as I hold no hope.

I thought the first one was decent & I'm not going crazy over this but I'll get it on Oct. 9th. Having Completest Syndrome is a bitch!
:lol:

What?! He hasn't directed a single thing!

I liked the first one, and I'm a fan of Henry Rollins, so I'll give this one a rent.

Loved the first one, so this warrants a viewing for me.

Totally agree. Those movies were great. Horror is tanking so far this year at the box office as well. The torture/porn genre has burned out. Would like to see a return of the aforementioned "new wave".

Let's hope for big numbers from 'Halloween' and 'Saw 4.'

Loved the first one and will pick this up to complete the collection...so to speak

Netflix for me.

That cracked me up too. I'm assuming he directed some well received short films or something, and they mean first-time feature director.

No Eliza Dushku is a white wife beater=No Sale

I may rent this at my local mom and pop store for $1.50

This would be a good time for an unrated version of the first to be on DVD... ;)

I would double dip.

Direct to video features like this don't need a demand. All they need is a mildly successful film title to borrow and they make their money back no problem.

or Emmanuele Chriqui :(

Exactly. I started a thread once regarding WT's unrated version. As far as I remember a conclusion was made the release of the second part is the right time for it. I'd double dip without hesitation too.

I would as well. :up:

Cover now up.

A bit traditional - looks like all the recent covers of such films, but I like it, just like all the others of the kind.

A pretty good looking cover, They always have too add those stupid taglines though, "In the Forest, Only they can hear you scream." :lol:

After reading the synopsis and checking out the stills this went from "most likely crap" to "99.95% guarenteed crap".

Oh well, that still leaves a little hope.

Yeah, that leaves just 0.05% of hope. Miserable percentage in my opinion :)

I liked the first one, and will check this one out, at least to see Henry Rollins kick some ass!!

As one of the few who really, really like Wrong Turn (and I know you join me) I keep saying to myself, "how can they screw up such a simple idea, follow the formula, add a few new bits, and you practically can't miss."

Then I look at Hills Have Eyes 2. I loved the first re-make, and I may be blaspheming but I think it was better in many ways than the original (lets face it, IMHO the original wasn't exactly a "classic" in the sense of Halloween or Texas Chainsaw). Hearing the god awful reviews of HHE2 I told myself it was simply haters heaping on more of the same, until I finally saw it two nights ago. It was terrible in every way possible.

It was as if they took everything that worked in the first one and shit all over it. They took a semi-plausible setup story and made silly and unrealistic. They took fairly well developed and likable characters and turned them into poorly acted, paper thin, unlikable clichés. Given the chance to delve deeper into the interesting history of the mutants they threw it all out and made them mindless monsters (if any movie needed a "Beginning", it wasn't TCM but this one).

So, how could they almost guarantee screwing up Wrong Turn 2? I don't know? How about adding the "Reality TV" aspect, that's a fresh new idea that's worked every time it’s been used in a horror movie.

End Rant.

Although I agree they could have done much better (at least more plausible like you mentioned), I personally thought the HHE2 was a decent follow-up for what it is....lots of action and suspense with a decent amount of gore. I mean it could have been ALOT worse. Given that, I am still hopeful for WT2 being watchable.

I'll definitely be picking this up. I loved the first one, and if they re-released it in an unrated edition, I would definitely double dip.

Dave, I'm with you again on this one. I'm not sure how they're going to ruin it, but I'm quite sure they will. We'll see. How do they keep ruining good movies turning them into crap? Recent Hills Have Eyes 2, From Dusk Till Dawn 2 & 3, you name it...
Some obscure director, little-known actors... I have utmost respect for Henry Rollins, I like him as an actor, as a misician and just as an eccentric person, but can you recall one decent movie he was in? :scratch2: They think they can attract audience by Ken Kirzinger who played Jason in Freddy vs. Jason? That's cheap. He's not even Kane Hodder! And all those straight-to-video or limited theater release sequels... They don't smell good from the very beginning.
By the way I don't think you're blaspheming about original HHE. Although Wes Craven is a reputable classic and I like his flicks, he always liked to make schlock. And although HHE is less schlock than some of his other films, it still bears this brand of the master :)

Lost Highway and Heat

Feast was a fun movie as well.

^^

I would also add The Chase

"For me, it's the respect and power that the position commands. I don't know whether to be busting bad guys or signing autographs. It's kinda like being a star. "

Lost Highway and Heat - yes, technically. Albeit I wouldn't call them films where Henry had a significant part. And The Chase along with Feast - well...

I have to ask... how many different copies to you have of "Wrong Turn"?

:)

Oh, the irony, Peep :) Well, actually I'm more of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre DVDs maniac...
