Rating: 4 stars
Summary: RUN! RUN! RRRUUUUUUNNN!!!
Review: This movie follows the basic form of: teens get lost, stumble into some demented recluses who like to murder people, have to run for their lives, and most die.

What makes this movie unique is that there are 3 freaks. Not the normal one, or two but you don't find out about the other until the end. The movie is a constant panic attack. Watch them run for their lives form the freakish hicks!

Wrong Turn is very graphic, so WARNING: Not for the squeemish!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very GOOD movie
Review: Iam a huge fan of bloody , gorey movies so of course I liked this movie . The mutated hicks were cool .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Suprising and scary the WHOLE way through
Review: My wife and I got this becasue we were in the mood for a fun horror movie, and are Eliza Dushku fans. My wife's G'mother lives out in the woods in northern Florida, so we saved watching the movie until we were up at here house. BEST CHOICE EVER! not only were we freaked out by what was going on, on screen, but just looking out the windows had us in the same woodsy setting... Very Fun, the tension didn't let up at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wrong Turn
Review: Wow, this movie was something. I was tuned to the screen the whole time. What can I say, it's pretty much out done any others I've seen except for Slash, and the only reason why I liked it was because it has a story behind it and it's not just a bunch of murder, murder, murder.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Frightened the hell out of me!
Review: Its not often horror films frighten me, they are generally silly and unbelievable, and whilst they may make me jump from time to time, they don't often build suspense...
UNLIKE this film.
This genuinely scared the pants off me!
There is nothing original about the film; its a simple horror, kind of a mix between 'Deliverance' and the 'Chainsaw Massacre' and even the 'Hills Have Eyes', but thew director has very skillfully created a really scary film.
I saw it at the cinema with 3 of my friends. After 20 minutes we all considered leaving the cinema as we were SO uncomfortably scared, but stayed because of the quality of the film.
I recently watched the DVD, thinking the film would have losts its edge now that I'd seen it... I was wrong. JUST as scary.
This is a testement to the Director and cast who all do a great job. The lead actress, (Eliza Dushku) she was excellent.

As for the dvd extras - good mini documentaries, well produced, and some worthy deleted scenes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cannibalism and suspense
Review: Okay a piece of advice. Don't watch this movie if you are jumpy.

This movie is filled with suspense, gruesome act of cannibalism and more suspense. Eliza Dushku (Faith in BtVS & Angel) has done an explicit job in this movie as a girl who is in control of her situation and right on the minute. The villain, inbreed mutant who cannibalised their victim, mostly hikers, aren't as stupid as they look.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: yawn
Review: I was hoping for more from this movie. I like Eliza Dushku, she is hot and a decent actress. But this movie just failed to grab me, and I like this particular genre.

I grew up in a white trash town where calling the gene pool there shallow would have been a compliment.

But U-Turn just failed to generate any interest, the inbreds were dull, there wasn't any really good chase or action sequences, character development was nonexistant, and nothing was even remotely scary or titilating. How can a movie scare you if the bad guys are so generic they aren't even funny and you aren't at all interested in the characters? They should practically been called bad guy 1, 2, 3, and female protagonist 1, 2, obviously not going to survive movie character 2, etc....

Go and rent one out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Family or watch the X-Files Episode "Home", don't waste your time on this.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What a rip off
Review: Horrible movie. No plot. Crappy actors. Blah. Lucky for me I work in a video store so it was free for me.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh my god. I couldn't even watch it all.
Review: "Oh no! There hasn't been a stupid scary movie in a while, so we should make one." I think this is what the directors said. This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. This is worse than Halloween Resurrection. There is no action at all. And since there is no action, there is no scary parts. It's about this family and some guy who run into cannibals. I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THIS IS, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE COPY. And a bad one, too. DON'T EVER WATCH THIS MOVIE.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Turning Points
Review: Right off the top, I have to admit the only reason I even wanted to see Wrong Turn at all, was because of my "friendly devotion" to Eliza Dushku. I waited though, after being unimpressed with any of the footage, I ever saw. I finally sat down recently to have a look.

Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington) is late for an important appointment. He decides to take a short cut in order to save time. The plan doesn't work. He ends up in a car accident with a group of friends on a camping trip for the weekend. Jesse (Dushku), Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), and her future husband Scott (Jeremy Sisto) decide to leave the scene for help. The group soon find themselves on the run from a trio of gruesome backwood mountain men, who are hunting them, as both reward and nourishment.

Director Rob Schmitdt calls Wrong Turn, a throwback to 70's cult horror classics like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, among others, wanting to steer clear of the Scream formula. Unfortunately, as valiant as the effort is, it still falls short. Frankly, the desire to make a homage to past, just comes across as mostly recycled fare without much spark. The film itself runs only 84 minutes, therefore, there's not much to latch onto. I'm not saying there has to be oodles and oodles of character stuff here but a bit more development may have help. Produced by makeup and effects guru, the great Stan Winston and his team offer plenty of high quality gory scenes. But other than that, and one intense scene with Harrinton and Dushku under a bed, trying to aviod capture, it's not all that scary really.

At first glance, the feature packed disc, sounds like it would be good fun in the extras department. Sadly, the sum total doesn't live up to the billing. The audio commentary from Schmidt, and stars Harrington and Dushku is just ok. They repeat themselves quite often and leave a few gaps of silence along the way. The Four featurettes: "Making of Wrong Turn," "Eliza Dushku: Babe in the Woods," "Stan Winston," and "Fresh Meat: The Wounds of Wrong Turn" are just fleeting 5 minute glimses of EPK style material. The "deleted scenes" amount to a sequence at a waterfall and alternate quick takes of a kill that occurs early on. Rounding out the disc are the usual theatrical trailer and a poster concepts gallery. You can watch the film in either the full-screen or widescreen formats on this double sided DVD.

Despite Dushku's appearance and a nice amount of the gross out factor, I was still disappoiinted at its lack of true scares. ** and a half stars
