Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

George Taylor 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.

TheLittleSongbird 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

grantss Chris Flynn is driving through the backwoods of West Virginia on the way to an interview when he has an accident with a group of five friends, writing off his car. Their car is also damaged, so four of them set off to find help, leaving two behind to watch the cars. One by one they get picked off by a bunch of mutated inbred hillbillies.One of the better inbred-hillbilly horror-thrillers (not that this says too much). While the whole hillbilly-horror genre is incredibly formulaic, unoriginal and predictable (as is the horror genre in general), this has some degree of originality. Yes, there is a large degree of sticking to a formula but it does take turns you don't expect and is not that predictable - it does keep you in suspense, at least.One other indication that this is better than your average horror movie is the cast. Horror movies generally involve no-name actors/actresses that never amount to anything. Cheap B-grade movies are the furthest they'll get. Wrong Turn has three actors - Eliza Dushku, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Desmond Harrington - who went on to bigger and better things. Performances are decent (another turn up for the horror books), especially from those three.Certainly the best of the Wrong Turn movies. Since this movie there have been five more (and counting...) and all of them have been incredibly bad. Pretty much the same plot, over and over, and pretty much your standard hillbilly-horror stuff. They should have quit after one.

captaincats SPOILER ALERTS**** Where to begin... you know you're in trouble when the creatures (mutant hillbillies in this case) are hid from your sight for most of the film's first hour. In a film clocking in at 84 minutes including credits that can't be good. What few shots you get of the monsters are fast, usually moving shots with no lingering of the camera on what appears to be very poor creature makeup effects. The mutant hillbillies almost look to be wearing rubber masks and bad hair wigs from the local secondhand store's Halloween costume isle. There are some major flaws in the teenage victims' character definitions specifically a lack of any depth or background of real note. The acting is pedestrian and given the script all that is needed. Just some teens on a camping weekend and a lost college med student meeting cannibal, mutant hillbillies that grunt more than talk. A major flaw is the young people's behaviour - when one of the teens gets killed the rest stand around waiting for their turn, they're awful slow to react for teenagers or 20 somethings. Most people would run like hell given some crazies want to eat them.The ending is totally unbelievable with the mutants refusing to die even though one gets run over by a speeding truck through a cabin door and blown up (at the end); another gets gutted - an arrow through the head and finally blown up (at the end); and the third falls 30 feet out of a tree - shows up later to get a severe axe wound to the chest area and survives the final massive explosion (with presumably no chest injury) to presumably kill in a future Wrong Turn movie sequel to come. There's no killing these 'hick' monsters - like some endless stupid nightmare void of reason and having no sense of cause and effect. That's Wrong Turn's biggest defect, lack of intelligent plot or characterization.If you like your horror movies on pilot control with no imagination, no thinking required and lame characters with little oomph, then this dud is for you. On the plus side, there are a few gruesome kills and some gross imagery that is horrific when you think about it but overall the acting is lame and the story unimaginative. Kind of like a Z grade "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" wannabe that is sorely wanting in the wannabe department. That's the worst kind of Z grade film. I give it 1 star out of 10. That star goes to the 2 or 3 gory kills/images. Don't pay to see this turkey or to rent it. Save your money for better movies.
