Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007, dir. Joe Lynch)

The cast and crew of a forest survival reality TV show come up against inbred backwoods cannibals. Gleeful superior sequel which takes care to build on the original’s slim storyline, adding texture and nuance as well as buckets of blood. Clever direction, scripting and a touch of grand guignol combine to pleasing effect.

Here’s the trailer.
