Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
simonconnolly72-467-863881 Undermined from the very beginning by gratuitous sex scenes including straight sex, lesbian sex, and inter racial sex. I'm surprised there wasn't 2 gay guys as well just to be absolutely politically correct.. Purely used as titillation with nothing to do with the story and therefore left with an impression there would be no integrity to this film albeit a fourth instalment.All the characters are unbelievably obnoxious except one guy, and you can't wait for them to get killed off.The great thing about the other wrong turn's is that they were gruesome and gory, but always had a sense of humour regarding the gore and splatter. This chucks in the gore aspect but we have a rather nasty prolonged torture scene which crosses the line from fun gore and splatter to what was termed as torture porn. The inventive deaths, usually over quickly were watchable. This particular scene is just pretty nasty and unpleasant.The actors despite the negative reviews have a pretty impossible job. To be constantly in a state on set of being petrified I imagine is not easy, and it doesn't help when all the dialogue is contrived and wouldn't be said in these circumstances. They would all be mad from fear, incomprehensible wrecks just doing what they can to survive. Here, they are all too logical, coherent, and behaving remarkably well seeing as most of their party have been butchered, eaten and tortured right in front of their eyes. Even after they unknowingly stab to death one of their own, there's just a mid level panic. It's not their fault. It's bad screen writing and bad direction.As for the ending, nothing is clear. What happened to the cannibals? Who was the guy in the end in the truck? They didn't see brown wooden posts with barbed wire on an all white landscape? stupid ending going for laughs and shocks with no coherence.
George Taylor So now we get the story possibly one percent of one percent of one percent of movie goers wanted. A prequel. Turns out the pinheads from episodes 1 - 3 of this repugnant series tells the story of how they were in an asylum, killed everyone and still live there. ENTER: moronic city dwellers (including a pair of lipstick lesbians for a little titillation). This time, no one survives (I just saved you some time in your life) and the last scene is a rip off of 2001 Maniacs, where the last two survivors get decapitated, their heads carried off. In this case likely for soup (and one of them is one of the lesbians, continuing Hollywoods murderous way of dealing with homosexual characters, and she's black. So double whammy.) Lame. Lame. Lame.
Sandcooler The "Wrong Turn"-franchise may not bring many new ideas (even the first one was microwaved "Texas Chain Saw"), but I love how pretty much every installment delivers the goods. You just watch these movies to see irritating people dying horrible deaths, and this fourth entry is definitely no disappointment. What I love most about this movie is how it wallows in its own vast stupidity. My favorite dumb part is the part where a guy tries to save a girl from being hung by...pulling her legs? I'm pretty sure that only makes the situation worse. Splitting up from the group because you want to retrieve a weapon you've never used before, as it's probably useless? Makes perfect sense in this alternate reality. Saying you'll be fine if your friend leaves even though you'll be all alone, completely exposed, already wounded and with no way to defend yourself? Sure, it's important to have confidence. And the less said about the infamous scene with the burlap sack, the better.There's only one character with a vague idea of common sense, and he's mocked constantly and mercilessly. Oh really, you don't want to take a long trip in the freezing cold right before dark? Oh really, you don't want to sleep in that creepy abandoned hospital? Oh really, you don't want to split up from the group when there are three insane cannibals running around? What are you, a coward? Well no, he just has brain waves more active than a wine cellar. Kinda funny in a morbid way how this character gets the longest, most painful death. The one time the rest of the group (they still greatly outnumber the cannibals at this point) actually has a valid reason to go back, they basically just wait around until the screaming stops. They even have time to VOTE whether or not they go back while their friend is being cut into pieces. The fact that they easily corner the villains minutes later just makes it funnier (what's wrong with me?). And even though rednecks killing people is a trope that has been going on for decades, I really dig the design of these villains. Because of chintzy production values their appearance can differ between movies, but Three Finger, One Eye and Saw Tooth all have fun little trademarks. Every new "Wrong Turn" is like seeing your old friends again, doing away with yet another batch of people you never want to see in anything else. Once they encounter anybody remotely intelligent I'm pretty sure they're all toast, but until then their creative kills are pretty entertaining. The best one in part four: the fate of the guy that runs their asylum. He totally had it coming, sorta. Also great for a laugh: the magnificent ending scene, which I genuinely wasn't expecting. "Wrong Turn 4" is more of a comedy than a horror movie, but it caters to the fans of both genres.
MoviesReviews101 Story: We start by seeing a tour of the mental hospital where we find our cannibals locked up only for them to escape and leaving the hospital in the hands of the other mental patients. This completes the origin story for our cannibals a less than 10 minute introduction in a film that is called 'Bloody Beginning'. Next up we meet the group of college students who are off for a weekend snowboarding but after they get lost looking for their location they take up shelter in the now abandoned mental home. Overnight the group gets attacked and haunted by the group of now grown up cannibals. We have to see who will make it out alive. With what should be a longer origin story it really is just a glorified escape plan. The group of college students are hugely unlikable and put in way too much fake screaming and crying. This story will having screaming at the screen 'STOP BEING F*CKING IDOITS' because they make so many mistakes and constantly contradict what they just said about doing. They even have a chance to kill the cannibals and don't use it, 'hello these mad man have just butchered and eaten your friends but you want them to lock them up and let the police who you can't get hold off sort them out'. This story has so many things wrong with it, it is unbelievable. (2/10)Actor ReviewJennifer Pudavick: Kenia I believe she is meant to be the smart one of the group, who gets easily scared and doesn't want to deal with the pranks of the others. She keeps coming up with plans but never follows through with any of them and nearly every one she plans ends up with somebody dying. Jennifer gives a terrible lead performance with fake screaming and crying throughout. (3/10)Tenika Davis: Sara part of the group and along with her girlfriend is on the trip to have a good time. Seems to be the one willing to fight most of all the group, she also stays loyal to her friends. Tenika gives a poor performance never convinces and seems to be forced into two unnecessary lesbian love scenes. (3/10)Kaitlyn Leeb: Bridget girlfriend of Sara who is on the trip for a good time. In a weird way she is the only one who makes sense and just wants to leave, but no one will listen to her, she does show a lack of loyalty to her friends. Kailyn gives a poor performance as she never looks like she is in the right film. (3/10)Support Cast: Filled with other friends who all make disposable characters and the cannibals who make for good hunters you actually cheer for by the end.Director Review: Declan O'Brien – Taking the franchise the wrong way here, he is making the films worse and ruining what was starting to get good. (3/10)Horror: Loses a lot of horror aspects but still has plenty of blood and gore. (5/10) Thriller: Doesn't pull you in as much as it should do. (2/10) Settings: Isolation side of the story is created and moving the location to a mental facility over the mountain ranges. (10/10) Special Effects: Mix of effects throughout starting strong but then falling into sloppy CGI. (3/10) Suggestion: I think even if you are a fan of the franchise you will struggle to enjoy this one.
