Sultry Eliza Dushku runs for her life in a snug white tanktop, pursued by inbred backwoods cannibals in Wrong Turn. Dushku (Bring It On, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and a clump of other attractive young people (including Six Feet Under's Jeremy Sisto and Desmond Harrington of We Were Soldiers) get waylaid in the deep West Virginia wilds by a trio of grotesque mountain men, all given realistic ugliness by makeup artist Stan Winston (Interview with the Vampire, Terminator 2). Wrong Turn is the sort of movie where you know who's going to die by the order they appear in the credits, but fans of the inbred backwoods cannibals genre (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes) will find much to savor, particularly the scene in which Dushku and Harrington are trapped under a squalid bed while the inbred backwoods cannibals prepare one of their friends for dinner. Grisly. --Bret Fetzer

Mutant Inbred Cannibals= Bliss........2007-03-14

"Wrong Turn" Is one of the most enjoyable recent horror movies I have seen.
Being a huge 70's and 80's slasher fan I crave new movies that live up to my expectations.
I hear people complain we have seen this before!!! Blah blah blah..
UM, No we haven't .Sasher/Horror lovers you know good and well that there are certain formulas that work and some that don't ,this one does!!!
Inbred mutant cannibals ? love it .Have there been other movies with a similar plot ? Yes. So What I loved them as well,stop complaining it isnt rocket science it's a slasher flick.A very enjoyable one at that.
It has good looking people,great kills and great makeup effects.
Nuff said.

Really Good 'Menaced-In-The-Woods' Horror; Definately Recommended.......2007-02-23

"Wrong Turn" is familiar but potent horror material, as a shortcut down a little-used back road strands two cars - one carrying a group, the other a lone passenger - deep in the woods and away from phone lines or normal human habitation, and, unknown to the travellers, in the territory of a long-isolated band of inbred mountain cannibals. This kind of thing has been done a lot, and "Wrong Turn" doesn't re-invent the wheel, it just works that wheel better - much better compared to some of its peers - than 90% of the similar horror movies before or since. If you love the likes of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" films (especially the early ones) or "The Hills Have Eyes" (original or remake, although the remake's my personal pick) you're going to enjoy "Wrong Turn"

It's not as extreme as most of the entries in the above-mentioned series, but it's not watered-down either; it's direct and violent at times, more focused on suspense at others, hitting a really good balance overall. One of the reasons it's better than much of its kin is that the larger budget (small by today's theatrical release standards; huge compared to many of the more obscure direct-to-video entries in its vein) is that it's able to attempt - and fully pull off - things that many of its peers probably couldn't even try: the cannibal assault on the wooden lookout tower high above the forest, for example. Well acted, great effects, great location for this kind of a movie in the vast, seemingly endless and seemingly so benign green forests; very taut and engaging. No horror fan should miss this.

Excellent Movie.......2007-02-21

This was an excellent thriller. A little horror, but alot of terror. Very enjoyable.

Very weird movie........2006-12-05

I give this 4 stars. But it was a very strange and weird movie. The mutants were so freaky looking. I think the special effects guy should get major kudos.

I would give this 3, but the weirdness and creepiness of the movie made it worth the 2 hours to me.

I recommend this highly.

Stay out of these woods..........2006-11-30

As some have already mentioned, we've seen this all before. There is really nothing new in `Wrong Turn' besides the cast and a ridiculous tree hopping scene. That said, to me there was no point to watch this, to make it even. It took the same scenario's of many of the `good' horror films (Hills Have Eyes and Texas Chainsaw for starters) and recycled them into pointless fluff. If it weren't for Dushku being as hot as she is this film wouldn't have been worth the wasted two hours I spent last night, and even then it's a stretch. I don't understand why cannibals have to be mutated and uneducated woodsman who look unhuman and grunt instead of speak. Remember Hannibal Lector? Remember the remake of Texas Chainsaw in 2003? The cannibals where much scarier when they looked like you and me. These inbreds looked so fake it was ridiculous. I gave it two stars for Dushku and the few creative death scenes, especially the one in the trees and the barbwire thing...gruesome as they were, it's a horror film so gruesome is welcomed.

Thrillers that make for decent viewing........2006-10-04

Wrong Turn- 2.5/5. This flick should really be right up my alley. It's a gory backwoods slasher that pays homage to 80s horror, and it even includes a solid cast of genuinely talented young actors. Unfortunately, the movie never really generates much suspense, partially because it's too obvious who dies in what order and also because the movie is ultimately too generic and repetitive, what with the constant chasing through the woods getting pretty tiresome rather quickly. Still not bad viewing for slasher fans, though why a film of this nature that includes someone as unbelievably hot as redhead Lindy Booth doesn't feature any nudity is beyond me.

Joy Ride- 3.5/5. Easily the best film of the bunch, Joy Ride falls into the road trip horror subgenre. Steve Zahn and Paul Walker star as brothers who run afoul of a truck driver after they play a practical joke on him. If Joy Ride doesn't quite match the heights of Breakdown, Dead End, or Black Cadillac, it's still a well-crafted thriller that boasts a fast pace, appealing cinematography, likeable performances from Zahn and Walker, and a few very tense and impressive setpieces (the climactic roadside motel showdown is a nail-biter).

My biggest complaint is the presence of Leelee Sobieski. In general, I find her a competent and likeable actress, but her sudden inclusion into the picture halfway through puts a serious dent in the film's momentum (though it does ultimately recover in the last half-hour) and interferes with the great chemistry between Zahn and Walker.

Swimfan- 2.5/5. Essentially a high school version of Fatal Attraction, I actually found myself somewhat enjoying this film because of its solid performances and competent direction. Jesse Bradford is really quite likeable despite his initially idiotic behavior, and Erika Christensen pulls off the sleek and sex seductress pretty well. Shiri Appleby is also my ideal example of the perfect girlfriend, incredibly hot AND a sweet, caring and forgiving girl as well. The film doesn't stand out in any particular fashion, but it's perfectly watchable for undemanding fans of trashy thrillers.

1/2 star more.......2006-01-30

All these films range from 3 to 4 stars. While I found Joy Ride to be the best of the bunch, I have watched an enjoyed them all. The Vanishing is a remake about a man obsessed with his missing girlfriend. Wrong Turn is a pure horror film about travelers being stalked by mutant hillbillies. Swimfan is a teen fatal attraction. Joyride is 2 brothers who play a joke on a truck driver not realising he is a psychopath, which leads to a long chase. What ties these films together is the horror aspect, and the fact that they were made within a few years of each other. The Vanishing is the most out of place in this group. For 26 bucks for 4 decent movies, I think this is a good buy.

Badly packaged..........2005-11-28

JoyRide, when it came out, was new, different, and interesting. Good choice. Swimfan, well the guy's an idiot ,but it's a new mix on the old fatal attraction formula. Wrong Turn. This one stumps me. Not at all original - and with eliza dushku, what would you expect? the video store is filled with low budget, stupid movies like this with similar titles... The vanishing is the one I don't know anything about, there should be a description. If you want something scary but original enough to buy, get Final Destination, Joyride, and pick something else
