Sorcerer4u: Finally, someone else who acknowledges Wrong Turn is great!
I agree entirely. It has good suspense, fine acting (especially from Eliza Dushku) and some interesting ideas. One thing I liked is how Chris comes across as something of a screw-up throughout the movie. For example, when he tries to act as a decoy and gets shot in the leg (so the others have to go to his aid). That is something you rarely see in movies.
I agree that the sequel should definately have Chris (Desmond Harrington) and Jessie (Eliza Dushku) return, but do you think it should have some new people as well? For me, it would be Rachael Bella. I also think they should introduce some new mountain men. Say that the three in the first film weren't the only ones.
I'm also glad that I found someone that acknowledges Wrong Turn is great 🙂
I've seen this movie 5 times and everytime it's better and better!
Eliza Dushku was a surprise for me, because I didn't hear anything about her since this movie.
I also love that scene of yours with Chris. And I agree: it's an improvement in horror genre.
I guess a sequel should have... Well... Wrong Turn has 3 mountain men allright. It was enough (I think) but a sequel should
have more? or less? You saw after credits that 1 mountain man was alive, didn't you? If you don't and have the movie just stay tooned after credits for a surprise.
🙂
As for Rachael Bella... I don't know. I don't like her so much. But I'd love to see some panic on the face (and body) 😄 of.... Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Next Door). Because... she already has a horror movie named House of Wax (release date: 29 April 2005 - USA) and it sounds very good.
If you didn't know. Wrong Turn is no.3 on my top 10 horror list.
😎
ps: Jessie and Chris shoud return allright. I mean.... a sequel without Jessie will be pointless! And I also think that a sequel will be made sooner or later. I mean... WTF... Jeepers Creepers 2 had a sequel and movies like: The Eye, Mimic (2 sequels already) , The Cube also) , and many, many more!
Elisha Cuthbert is pretty good. I'll look forwards to seeing 'House of Wax'.
I have watched the post-credits scene, thanks. The way I see it, a sequel has to make the threat more dangerous than the previous one. If Chris and Jessie could overcome three mountain men, I doubt it would make much sense for the sequel to have only one. Perhaps they could say that the surviving one had cousins, whom he goes to to get help to get revenge on the people who killed his brothers?
Since this movie, Eliza has starred in the series 'Tru Calling.' Check it out, it's really cool.

U're welcome! I also didn't know about that post-credits scene but I read a review and there it was described. 🙂
I think that a sequl should stay away from the woods. We did see a lot of action into the woods (day/night) and I think it's enough. What about a road horror adventure or something? I guess that a kind of mountain men invasion should work....
As for Elisha I heard about those series but I didn't have a chance to see them.

Cinemaddiction: I didn't mean that it was a completely new idea. I simply meant that it would be a new scenario for the 'Wrong Turn' characters. Something that would fit the context, but wasn't done in the first movie.
Didn't only 2 survive?

That's an OVER-statement, IMO. Classics are inventive, this was just an amalgam of other flicks with the flavor of the week "actress".
Cinemaddiction: it's a modern classic allright!
Anyway... I found this Wrong Turn final numbers:
Production Budget: $12.6 million
Marketing Costs: 2$ million
USA gross: $15,418,790
world wide gross: $13,231,785
TOTAL GROSS: $28,650,575
That's great!!!! Everybody had enough money here... so this are 100% chances for a upcoming sequel!!!!
