Last night I got to watch it...and I must say I was impressed.
Coming close on the heels of watching Zombie's let-down version of JC's masterpiece, Wrong Turn 2 is a real surprise. Most of you havent seen it yet so I wont spoil it...but let me say this much, this one goes one step beyond the original.
It has LOADS of atmosphere and plenty of decent gore...and the characterisation and direction is solid. It has a more than decent script...and the climax packs a real punch.
I definitely recommend it for the fans of the original...plus to those who liked The Hills Have Eyes and its recent remake.
Dont forget to get the popcorn!

Can you quantify at all how much it is better than the first? Perhaps a multiplication ratio (i.e. its 2 x Better, 4 x Better etc). That would be great if you could, thanks. :p

Hmm did I say it was better than the first? Actually its "one step ahead of the original"...just like most good sequels (Halloween II, Saw II, etc.) are.
I d say its at par with the original. There are some sequences which are definitely unique and a BIG plus for Wrong Turn 2, and the climax is one which will stay with you for a while. All in all, its a better sequel.
Just wait till October. I gurantee you wont be disappointed. At all.;)

Sorry but I thought "one step ahead" meant you thought it was better than the first - huge apologies for that...
"All in all its a better sequel" - A better sequel than what? A better sequel than the sequel to Saw, Terminator, Ghostbusters?? What?
Or do you mean its a better MOVIE than the first? In which case, why did you say you didnt mean that? ;)
"It's on par" - That's enough information for me anyway. Thanks for the heads up. Am going to be able to dodge a bullet with that info. :)

Nope. "A better sequel" means one of the better sequels which has come about in recent times. (ala 28 Weeks Later, Saw II, etc.)
Or do you mean its a better MOVIE than the first? In which case, why did you say you didnt mean that?
Question ^^. Answer...
"It's on par" - That's enough information for me anyway.
There we go.

Wrong Turn 2 (2007)
The most surprising movie of the year
This is more gory then First movie
Acting was Awesome
but the only downside was Hillbilly Cannibals they wear no were near as scary as 1st movie, but they are this really creppy.
i think this is the best Sequel of year 8/10

I dunno, I didn't think the first one was that great, and if this one is so good then why is it straight to DVD?

I thought the first one was terrible. If this is only on par with the first, then I'm definately not watching it. :)

There was a lot more Gore... some pretty bad acting, The first one was probably better, this was a true sequal style movie....

After screening this one, FOX actually thought about giving it a theatrical release...which would have been cool, but then a LOT of the gore would have to be cut.
I've been told that the film takes full advantage of the Direct-to-DVD format, in that there is no ratings board consideration. I can't wait to see it. I'm actually going to catch it in the theater this weekend - got invited to the Hollywood screening by the director(and friend of mine) Joe Lynch :D
He's Awesome!

Obviously you're all on the glue, it's the only explanation.
In these demanding times of at least vaguely agreeable (and unpatronising) if not Oscar-worthy acting in B-horror movies, this film falls dreadfully flat, zapping all possibilties of any real scares, laughs or even sweet ironies.
Worst sequel of the year so far, and i hate categorisations.
