The original “Wrong Turn” didn’t anything new to genre but
was still a mildly entertaining film, depending on the sense of tension built
upon the cannibalistic hillbillies chasing their prey more than the script
itself. The fact that there was a sequel, a few in fact, that followed
shouldn’t be a surprise but what is shocking is how quickly the quality of the
franchise sank with its second film. It takes the negative connotations of
the backwater hillbilly to a whole new low level, this time focusing on a full
family of cannibals which include a sister and mother figure. This film also
introduces the reason as to why they are deformed, super strong, and nearly invincible.
The only redeeming thing about this movie is the fact that
it stars Henry Rollins! His performance as a former US Marine who is the host
of a reality TV pilot was way over the top and he was completely committed to
it, which made it great. Just like his role in “Feast”, it seems like he had a
blast with his part.

to a cannibalistic hillbilly clan. What else do you need to know??
