Profile of Wrong Turn

Wrong Turn can be described as scary, rough, and suspenseful. The plot revolves around isolation, chases, and a slasher. The main genres are thriller and horror. In terms of style, Wrong Turn is gory. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in the mountains. Wrong Turn is located in West Virginia and Virginia. It takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for teens. Note that Wrong Turn involves strong violent content, drugs/alcohol, and profanity.

Summary of Wrong Turn

Revisiting the teenage slasher movies of the 1970s and 1980s, WRONG TURN is a tense, suspense-packed horror film starring Eliza Dushku (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER). When Chris (Desmond Harrington) is late for a job interview, he drives speedily through a backwoods dirt road, and winds up in a head-on collision with a group of teenage campers. As the cars are totalled, the group has no option but to trek through the woods and seek help. Stumbling upon a mysterious cabin, the unhappy campers soon realize they are in grave danger when they happen upon a mixture of grotesque oddities and body parts, soon followed by the return of the freakish inhabitants of the disgusting abode. The intensity builds as the inbred, kill-crazy cabin dwellers go after Chris and the campers, leading to some grisly scenes in the dense woodland, and a series of brutal, bloody set-pieces from director Rob Schmidt.

WRONG TURN takes similar backwoods horror flicks like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES as its inspiration, providing visceral thrills aplenty, and the requisite amount of dumb teenage characters. Never lapsing into self-parody, the film should appeal to older horror movie fans keen to revisit the movies of their youth, and younger fans eager to witness some modern-day stalk-and-slash mayhem!

Entertainment Weekly

A blood-simple backwoods spatterfest that makes shameless use of the same old antirural moonshine Hollywood's been bootlegging for decades. Full Review

Chicago Tribune

The sole saving grace of Wrong Turn is its honesty. You get exactly what you expect -- blood, guts and people being taken to the killing floor. But just because it's honest doesn't make it good. Full Review

As far as the latest crop of horror flicks go, this at the very least entertained me (which I can't say for all of them...Jeepers Creepers, anyone?), however, it was just as predictable and formulaic as most. Bottom line: there's no harm in watching... Read and rate it
