The second movie in a series of six films follows the story of six contestants in a survival reality show who find themselves stranded in the woods after their vehicle breaks down. However, they soon realize that they are not alone in the forest as they start to encounter the deformed cannibalistic mountain men, who have set traps to capture and devour their prey.

The film boasts excellent special effects, make-up design and creative death scenes that will make viewers squirm in their seats.
The plot of 'Wrong Turn 2' focuses on a reality TV show called 'The Ultimate Survivalist: Celebrity Edition,' where famous people are paired up with experienced survivalists to compete in wilderness challenges.

However, after being stranded in the wilderness with no sign of rescue, the competitors soon realize that they are not alone. The mutant cannibalistic family of inbreds that live in the remote woods has come out from hiding and is looking for prey to sacrifice and consume. The contestants become the hunted as they try to survive the inbredâs deadly traps and find a way out of the forest.
The standout character of the movie, Dale Murphy, adds a unique flavor to the storyline, playing the role of a reality TV show host, who takes pride in his brutal and sadistic approach to the show.
