Summary: Wow
Review: This is an awesome horror movie! It's along the lines of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre type plot but much, much better. It definitley will keep you on the edge of your seat. The gore factor is about an A- (I love gore and thought there could be more but there was enough!) Eliza Dushku does an amazing job in this film. She brought so much life into the movie. I hope every horror fan will give this movie a look! The DVD features were quite interesting also. From beginning to end, this is a fabulous movie.. just great!

Summary: AMAZING, BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: When i saw this, it was at 11 o'clock in the morning and my friends called me up and invited me over to watch it. Those friends were awesome, Alyssa, Michelle, and Kaitie, and especially one's sister, with her long, silky smooth hair, perfectly shaped body, amazing smell...anyway.

Summary: Inbreeding Monsters
Review: Jessie Burlingame's (Eliza Dushku) boyfriend broke up with her so her friends Carly (Emmanuelle Chrique), Scott (Jeremy Sisto), Francine (Lindy Booth) and Evan (Kevin Zegers) take her on a trip to help her through it. First their tires catch some barbed wire on a lonely country road and then their vehicle is struck by Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington) who is driving too fast because he's late for an appointment.They band together to try to get road service for their vehicles and discover a family of psychotic inbreeds monsters that use other humans for food. I thought this movie was a scary gore fest! The actors playing the Appalachian inbreeds did an excellent job in their interpretations of these genetic disasters. Eliza was powerful in her performance as usual!

Summary: What Horror Movies Should Be
Review: 'Wrong Turn' is the first of a new rebirth (or renaissance) in the classic, cult horror movies I love a la' the original 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' whose remake starring Jessica Biel is yet another fine example of the genre. That's the topic of another review, however. What makes 'Wrong Turn' all the more frightening, in spite of its simple, rehashed 'teens running for their lives in the backwoods' premise is that it is so believably real. So what if it borrowed elements from 'TCSM' and 'Deliverance'; this movie worked in delivering the thrills & chills it's supposed to. The ever fetching Eliza Dushku took a break from her karate-kicking femme fatale role as Faith the Vampire Slayer to play a down-to-earth 'girl next door' who struggles to survive from the living hell she found herself in. Though it would have been nice to see her kick some redneck cannibals' backsides, this movie is immensely enjoyable nonetheless.

Summary: Good stuff!
Review: I knew I needed to see "Wrong Turn" when I learned Eliza Dushku, Rob Schmidt, and Stan Winston were involved in the project. Dushku's allure to those males familiar with this actress needs little elaboration. Rob Schmidt directed "Crime + Punishment in Suburbia" a few years ago, a movie I saw a several months ago and enjoyed immensely. And Stan Winston, well, he is the guy behind the special effects in a slew of big budget films which, if not exactly intellectual masterpieces, nonetheless are enormously entertaining movies worth watching. Winston helmed the effects work in the recent "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" as well as that movie's predecessor. He also does an occasional turn as a producer, as he did with "Wrong Turn" when he wasn't putting together the gooey effects. Even if these three people provide little incentive to potential viewers, the idea of a gang of inbred, cannibalistic hillbillies running amok in backwoods West Virginia ought to bring out the hardcore horror hounds in force. "Wrong Turn" has its share of problems, of that there is no doubt, but the picture moves beyond its shortcomings and creates a memorable movie experience. In a day when low budget, straight to video (DVD?) horror productions appear on store shelves like pustules on a plague victim, it is nice to see something stand a little taller. "Wrong Turn" is one of those movies. We learn within a matter of minutes something sinister is going on in the backwoods of West Virginia. A man and woman have a nasty, fatal encounter with some local residents during a rock-climbing excursion. As it turns out, these two unfortunate souls are only the latest victims in a spate of mysterious disappearances stretching back through the years, unsolved disappearances involving hikers, young children, and any other assortment of individuals unlucky enough to pass through this rugged region. When Chris Finn (Desmond Harrington) zips through the area on his way to an important job interview, he has no idea he will eventually discover the reason for these disturbing disappearances. After learning an accident on the highway will hold him up for hours, he backtracks and drives down a dirt road that promises to get him to his destination on time. Yeah, right. Finn takes his eyes off the road for a second and promptly plows into a broken down vehicle on the road belonging to a quintet of young people. The wreck does not injure anyone, not seriously, but it means both automobiles are down for the count. Finn meets his fellow travelers in distress: mouthy Jesse Burlingame (Dushku), high strung Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), laid back Scott (Jeremy Sisto), and two stoners who die almost immediately. After awkward introductions, Finn, Carly, Jesse, and Scott beat their feet down the road in an effort to reach a telephone. The two stoners stay behind and promptly retire from the scene in especially graphic ways. The four survivors, though they don't realize they are in trouble yet, discover what appears to be an abandoned farmhouse tucked away in a little valley. They go inside and realize whomever lives in this place probably rents a room at the local asylum. The place is a nightmare, with all types of gooey, mysterious substances in jars scattered about and some more vaguely unpleasant containers in the refrigerator. Even worse, the homeowners show up while the kiddies are poking around in the house. With no time to flee, our gang hides under beds and in closets as the residents bring some fresh meat in the front door. And whaddya know? Dinner consists of one of the freshly slaughtered stoners killed after our heroes headed down the road. Thus begins the lengthy stalk and slash sequences we horror fans know and love so much. Some will not survive the endurance test that lies ahead, will not last through a chase scene that involves fleeing through forests, climbing into a fire tower, or diving from that tower into some tall trees to continue the chase some seventy or so feet above the ground. All we know is that good will face down evil in the end and win. Or will it? I enjoyed "Wrong Turn" because I like Eliza Dushku. That wasn't always the case, however. I remember first seeing this actress in the obnoxious and cloying film "Bye Bye, Love" back in the early '90s and despised her whiny character in that movie. Since then young Dushku grew up, put on a skintight white tank top, and developed a rich, husky voice that melts the heart. She has a lot to do with the allure of this film, but the excellent gore effects from Winston certainly didn't hurt, either. We get a fancy, on the half shell decapitation (watch and see what I mean), a grotesque garroting, and a few other sickening scenes. Moreover, you have the mutated hicks to contend with, gruesome looking brutes with a taste for human flesh and a love for the hunt. Lots of good stuff here, but a few problems reared their ugly heads from time to time. The overall idea of the film isn't original and I didn't buy the idea of deformed hillbillies possessing superhuman strength. Still, "Wrong Turn" is entertaining enough. The DVD overflows with extras. You get fullscreen and widescreen options, featurettes about Dushku, Winston's special effects, and a behind the scenes documentary. There is also a commentary from Dushku, Harrington, and Schmidt, some trailers, and deleted scenes. Good stuff, especially the look at Winston's lengthy career in the biz. This guy's been involved in so many big movies it simply boggles the mind. If you are a horror fan, you will want to check out "Wrong Turn" soon. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a sequel arriving at a theater in the next year or so.

Summary: Pretty good movie
Review: This movie was pretty good but doesnt hold a candle to the movie Cabin Fever. With the budget that they had for this I think they could have made a much better movie but it did have its moments.

Summary: Kick Ass Old School Horror
Review: With all the recent attempts to reclaim the horror movie glory of the late 70's and early 80's (i.e. Cabin Fever, House of 1000 Corpses) its amazing that this movie didn't get more attention. This is straight forward, balls-out, in your face, bloody, gory, old school hillbilly horror like they just don't make anymore. Fans of old backwoods classics like The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will love this movie. Being skeptical of most new horror movies, I was prepared to be disappointed when I popped this one in the dvd player. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. True horror fans will love this one. Buy it NOW.

Review: Scarry, suspencful and not cheesy! Yes, horror movies are still watchable. I rented it because im an Eliza Dushku fan, and I wasn't even sure what this movei was about, but it turned out I lovded it!
It was quite scarry, and I rarely get scared. The part where the kids are hiding under the bed in the kilers house, while they drag in their dead friend and prepare her for dinner is unbelievable......I had to pause the movie, to catch my breath.
Great stunts, and good acting from ALL of the costars. Im planning on watching it again, because I really enjoyed it. Woods movies can be really scarry......

Summary: its a bad turn out
Review: released last year, this movie looked interesting in its trailer, but then when I saw it in the theaters. it was pure stupidity. not much in this bland and predictable horror gore fest. it only clocks in at 84 minutes,a short and forgettable horror movie. though the presence of Eliza Dushku was in here, she showed some of her moves we have seen from the past in Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Desmond Harrington from Ghost Ship and Jeremy Sisto from Suicide Kings also stars. the mountain men are disfigured and are really just plan take the movie to the dumps. there are some good moments, well for one when the skanky girl asks the guy to drop trou, Jeremy Sisto's fleeing from the cabin and when he gets 3 arrows in his back and basically thats it. stir away or if your a Dushku fan like I am, watch it and be bored or not.
