Trivia:

Director Joe Lynch originally wanted to have more inbred characters in the film, but was unable to because there were already too many characters to service in the film.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Kimberly Caldwell calls her agent he complains that it's 4am in Los Angeles. She's driving in West Virginia, and the shadow the car casts indicates the sun is directly overhead, so it's about midday (the shadow sits under the car in every shot). However, if it's 4am in LA, it should be 7am in West Virginia, so the sun should cast long shadows.

Nina Papas: What I saw... WAS REAL!

Better Than You Might Expect

I thought Wrong Turn 2: Dead End was good.It definitely wasn't as great as the first, but it was a satisfying sequel.I will say that in the first, they focused more on the script and actually thought on what was best to go with.In this film, they really focused to much on the gore, when they should've focused more on the script, and they just blindly chose what they thought was best to go with.I did like the whole idea of the tournament in the woods.That was a very cool way to go.I also thought the characters were more likable than the ones in the first, because Wrong Turn 2: Dead End, was actually a little more entertaining, but not better, than the first.I respect both the Wrong Turn movies, and think they are actually REALLY creepy.Go out and see this movie if you liked Wrong Turn.
