First, I'm sick and tired of cannibal movies. They're stupid, poorly written and in this case, how can in bred morons out think everyone? Also, they're in the middle of lush country, full of game - so why the hell are they cannibals? Second, when they're killing and eating every nubile, fertile woman they catch, how are they breeding? LAST - How do they keep surviving? I'm sorry but an axe to the chest, that simply isn't a survivable wound. OK, maybe I'm looking a bit too deep at what is a really stupid film, but I have to do something to stay awake during this pap.

Judging from my other reviews, you would not think that horror films would be my thing, especially very gory ones. Actually aim to have a diverse taste in film, so seeing films from all decades and genres with no bias intended. Plus have seen my fair share of horror franchises where at least one film has been good.Found myself surprisingly enjoying 'Wrong Turn' when slowly working my way through the films. Despite the mixed to negative critical reception, to me flaws and all it is the best of the 'Wrong Turn' films by quite some way, was less impressed with the sequels. It doesn't get everything completely right, but it is a long way from a wrong turn and is instead a worthwhile one.'Wrong Turn' is in terms of story simplistic and derivative admittedly. It also has thinly sketched characters, cheesy dialogue and a run-out-of-ideas ending. A longer length would definitely have helped, there were times where the film's duration felt too brief. So those are reasons enough to dislike the film and consider it bad.However, quite a lot is done right in 'Wrong Turn' as well. It has a slick and atmospheric visual look and has a wonderfully mysterious and creepy setting. The make-up is also well done. One of 'Wrong Turn's' biggest stars is the special effects, which send a chill down the spine in how realistically horrifying they are.The music score is suitably eerie and Rob Schmidt adeptly pays tribute to 1970s exploitation cinema. While the story may not be perfect in how it's executed, it really does deliver on the creepy mood, the gruesome shocks and also the fun. There is a lot of gore here but mostly it is not used in a cheap way, there are times where it is not needed but generally the mood isn't compromised.Despite the lack of development for the characters, the acting is not bad at all. Desmond Harrington, Eliza Dushku and Emmanuelle Chriqui in fact give pretty ballsy performances.In conclusion, worthwhile. 6/10 Bethany Cox

This is a good solid horror thriller. There is nothing original here. It has shades of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and is very similar indeed to the remake. The monsters are very creepy but they are never fully realised. The violence and sadomasochist-violence is excellent with realistic gross-out deaths. It is scary and jumpy and almost a step-up over older horror but that also means that it is a step down as the connection is gone and replaced with slickness. This is a fun slasher.

I saw on Netflix that this movie produced five sequels, which I found interesting enough to watch, but first I needed to refresh my memory on the original. Wrong Turn turned out to be a really good movie. It's a refreshing Slasher film that does things slightly differently.The kids get into a car accident that turns out to be a trap set by psychopathic killers. The accident happens early in the movie before we learn much about the characters. The action begins quickly, and I do mean action, as the group of slashers hunt down these kids, who wanted to get out of the woods more badly than any group of young attractive kids ever did, like animals. Eliza Dushku earned her place on the poster. She's not playing a victim at all as she tries to lead her friends out of the woods. Plus the Slashers in the movie were an interesting group of hillbilly freaks worthy of having sequels to keep the party going. So I get why they would make sequels to this movie, its a really great watch.
