Wrong Turn 2: Dead End Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2007 | 93 mins | Unrated | Sep 15, 2009
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End(2007)Action | Horror | Thriller     A survival reality show goes terribly wrong when the contestants accidentally stumble upon a clan of mutant hayseed cannibals eager to make a feast of the young TV stars who've ventured onto the flesheaters' woodland turf. As the players begin to vanish, the survivors struggle to find their way out of the remote West Virginia forest before they become the next meal. Henry Rollins and Erica Leerhsen head the cast in this direct-to-video sequel. For more details about Wrong Turn 2: Dead End on Blu-ray, see the Wrong Turn 2: Dead End Blu-ray Review Wrong Turn 2: Dead End Blu-ray, Video Quality  Wrong Turn 2 goes straight-to-video in another sense, foregoing the 35mm film photography of the first installment for the quick and easy (and cheap) route of shooting on video. If you read my review of Wrong Turn, you’ll know that I had a few bones to pick with the picture quality. Despite being sourced from a different medium, Wrong Turn 2’s 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer exhibits many of the same problems. Softness is once again an issue, as the majority of the shots look indistinct and undefined. It does appear that some DNR has been used to filter out noise, and as a result textures are muddied and smeared and fine detail is practically non-existent in many scenes. The overall clarity is probably a hair better than that of the first film, but that really isn’t saying much. I did find it strange that there are a few shots—Rollins stitching himself up and the mutant teenager gobbling up dripping blood—that look noticeably sharper than the rest of the film. A particular trait of cheaper video cameras is the tendency to blow-out highlights, and you’ll notice the plaid pattern on Jonesy’s shirt is frequently overwhelmed by a wash of overheated white. On the plus side, black levels seem more stable than in the first film, with fewer crushed details and better contrast all around. Still, there’s not much color depth, and the image overall is only slightly better than DVD quality. Do note that the back of the case says the film is on a 50 GB dual layer disc, but you’ll actually find a 25 GB platter inside. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End Blu-ray, Audio Quality  While Wrong Turn packed a surprising wallop in the sound department, the sequel’s DTS- HD Master Audio 5.1 is somewhat less impacting and engaging. I’m not sure if it has to do with Wrong Turn 2 being a direct-to-video release, but there’s not nearly as much activity in the rear channels. Sure, you’ll hear some bleeding score and woodland ambience—buzzing flies and droning wind, mostly—but while the first film had plenty of rip roaring pans, there are few discrete effects here. Subwoofer use is also modest compared to Wrong Turn, and there’s less detail in the soundscape overall. That said, the front-centric track literally lands a few good blows, as much of the violence is rendered with grisly crunches, splatters, thuds, and twitches. I especially like the frequently used bone-cracking foley effect when the mutants pop their joints back into place. I have a friend who can pop his entire spine on command, and it always sends shivers down mine. Dialogue too is presented clearly from the center channel, and I can’t remember ever loosing any lines to poorly mixed levels. While not as impressive as the first film’s beefy sound, this is a serviceable track that at least gives the film a lossless upgrade.
