Summary: Frightening, Gory, and Incredible!
Review: I absolutely fell in love with this movie, and I can honestly say I consider this one of the best horror movies of all time. I truly was terrified by the grotrsque mountain who stalk and murder a bunch of young adults who are lost in the woods. Starring Six Feet Unders Jeremy Sisto, On The Lines Emmanuelle Chriqui and the amazing Eliza Dushku from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Wrong Turn is a non stop gore fest with shocking moments of suspense, excitement, and frightening moments. The film grabs your attention from the opening scene and doesnt stop til the very end. Critics hated this movie, and audiences ingnored it, but I am telling you, this horror film ranks as one of the best and scariest of all time!

Summary: Not as bad as it looks
Review: Wrong turn is your average horror movie. Set in West Virginia it provides a lot of gore and blood as well as a lot of cleavage. It seems that the 2 points the movie wants to prove is the amount of blood and guts as well as the amount if cleavage shots. If you like gory movies you'll love this. I jumped in a few parts. Its your regular summer movie fun. Not the best movie if you come from WV since the redneck jokes of WV are a lot

Summary: A very well-acted horror flick
Review: Nothing much to say, other than it being one of the most intensifying horror films I've seen. I also think the acting were superb by all the main characters in the film...but who couldn't act in a situation like this?????? Yea, just go into the middle of the woods, and be harassed and chased by several deformed and mutated 'hill billys' (yes, you know it's make up...but they're ugly enough to make you run away). A recommended horror film...but you probably will have second thoughts of doing any wilderness adventures after watching it ;-)

Summary: Best Horror Film in Years!!!
Review: "Wrong Turn" has a familier plot of kids getting lost in the woods, and find themselves being attacked by crazy locals, who also happen to be cannibles. Yes, the plot is not very origanal. But my god what a bang-up delivery. The tension is tight enough to snap your bones, especially when the four kids are stuck in the psychos' house with them trapped in it. The chase through the mountains (which comprises most of the movie) is brutal and exhausting. I love the movie's creative kill scenes that rival "Friday the 13th". The scares are all of the "jump out of no where" kind, but it made me and the rest of the audience hit the roof. Also cudos to Stan Winston's mutant-retard hill billy make-up, it's there and you notice it, but it looks possible and realistic. Not much is demanded of the charactors. All sterotypes are present and accounted for. All the kids have to do is be scared and run a lot, but they do it exceptionally well. Both women and men get pretty faces to look at. The women get Desmond Harrington's pretty boy, soap star face; although he could have smiled more. But it's really guys night out here. WE get the sexy Eliza Dushku in an air restrictingly tight white tank top, which sometimes gets wet. In the end, this is the horror movie event that "The Blair Witch Project" had promised (but failed miserably to deliver).

Summary: A NEW CULT CLASSIC
Review: To begin, this movie was absalutly awsome!It has everything that you wan`t from a slasher film.
The story (which I herd is a remake to the film, Wes Craven`s "The Hills have Eye`s) is about a group of friends who get`s traped in the woods. And are hunted by a family of cannibals. Wrong Turn star`s the very sexy Eliza Dushku (Bring it On, Soul Survivor), in her best role to date!
The clever make-up FX was brought to life by Stan Winston (Terminator, Pumpkinhead), who is also the executive producer. So in closing, great acting, great special Effects, clever story
truely destined for cult status!

Summary: WRONG CHOICE : Generic, Predictable Horror
Review: You know, it wouldn't have taken much for Wrong Turn to be a halfway decent horror film, especially to someone like me who is naturally terrified by inbred, mutant, cannibal rednecks. Even as a gore-splattered kill-a-thon it could have been worth seeing. Sadly, it is neither.
Wrong Turn is simply one of the worst, most cliche and generic movies I have seen in many years.
Don't worry about me giving anything away here, because every single second of this film has been in some other film. Whether ripping off Jason movies or, as expected, stealing from Leatherface flicks, Wrong Turn has no surprises and absolutely no scares. Nobody in the fairly sized audience of the theater so much as jumped during this wad of braindead nonsense.
From the moment you meet the young travelers you know exactly who will die and exactly what order they'll die in. But that doesn't matter, because these corny, cookie-cutter characters make every dumb move possible so that you actually want them to die because they'll deserve it for being so stupid. (In one scene, a baseball bat is right behind the unarmed heroes and not one of them thinks to grab it!)
While chased by the maniacs, these morons make noise, light up every light and draw attention to themselves, stand by every window, run for it in broad daylight while the enemy is a few feet away and armed with guns and arrows, and do every other idiotic thing they could possibly do. They also pass up every chance to use or grab a weapon.
The only good thing about this piece of bile is Stan Winston's special effects which are always excellent and far more entertaining than any of that nintendo-esque CGI junk. The "mountain men" look pretty good even if they're not as elaborately interesting as I'd hoped. The film also has a few scenes (too few considering the content) of fairly explicit gore (at least more explict than usual by today's standards.)
But the manaics are bothersome too. They can operate all sorts of cars, tows, firearms and machines but they aren't even smart enough to speak. Note to hacks: You can't have it both ways, people! Either they are primitive cavemen or they're moderately civilized madmen, which is it? Even the Texas Chainsaw family and the freaks from Deliverance could talk.
Which brings us to the final problem: rip-off city.
Wrong Turn steals things they don't even need. In Texas Chainsaw the heroes come to the cannibal's house in search of gas and find bones, pots hanging from trees and running motors. In Wrong Turn the heroes come to the cannibal's house in search of a phone and find bones, pots hanging from trees and running motors. Then, to make it worse, one of the heroes mentions the film Deliverance. Note to hacks: when you're ripping something off the last thing you wanna do is remind the audience of it!
It could be argued that a story about inbred cannibals would have to be similar to Texas Chainsaw or Deliverance; that it would be impossible for it not to be. But that is not true at all.
Just read the brillant, horrifying book called OFF SEASON by Jack Ketchum. It too is about such human monsters, but is completely and totally original and isn't at all like Texas or Deliverance. It is also one of the most chilling, haunting, revolting horror novels I have ever read, it's factor of terror ranking up there with epic novels like THE SHINING, I AM LEGEND and THE GREAT AND SECRET SHOW. One of the best things about the book is that it gives us cannibal maniacs we're not used to : not just men, but women and children too! That alone is brillant! However, OFF SEASON could never be a film. It would never even be able to get an NC-17 rating. It is just that shocking (mind you though, it is not just shocking for no reason, it fits the plot). It was barely okayed as a book and even now, twenty three years later, it is still panned for it's gruesome content.
I highly recommend OFF SEASON, and Texas Chainsaw and Deliverance over Wrong Turn. Stay far away from this ridiculously predictable movie. It reeks like three-day-old toe cheese!
You know a movie is bad when just about everyone in the theater starts to talk and nobody cares that they're doing it. I almost walked out. The only thing that kept me there was the dim hope to see more wild Winston effects which were good but could not even come close to redeming this stinking, hot load of manure.

Summary: Inbred Hillbillies + "City Folk" = FUN!!!
Review: Wrong Turn is one of those fun B-movie gems all Horror fans look for, usually in vain. I mean, how could you NOT like a movie about a pack of inbred cannibals menacing a stranded group of city slickers? Chances are, if you're the type of person who goes to see something like this, you're going to be receptive enough to enjoy it. So leave the snobs at home, and let's go down West Virginia way..... Wrong Turn wastes no time getting out of the gate, as a couple of mountain-climbing doofuses get waylaid by our inbred trio. The title sequence lays out all you need to know (Inbreeding is bad! An unusually high number of disappearances take place in this particular stretch of West Virginia backwoods. Inbred people are scary looking and mean! They have LOTS of sharp knives and stuff!) On his way to a job interview, Chris Finn (Desmond Harrington) takes that titular wrong turn to avoid a traffic jam (ALWAYS STAY ON THE MAIN ROAD, FOLKS!), and literally runs into a group of stranded vacationers (Headed up by the intense Eliza Dushku) wrecking both of their cars. The group sets off on foot to get help, but soon finds out that you probably shouldn't go barging into people's backwood shacks looking for a phone, and DO NOT look in their tupperware! Movies like this aren't exactly brain surgery, and saavy viewers will know exactly who will wind up on the menu and who will survive to see the final credits roll. The cast is appealing, the make-up effects are well-done (What else would you expect from the legendary Stan Winston?), and even if the movie doesn't offer any surprises, it's all competently done. My only complaint is the murderous trio isn't shown nearly enough; I would have appreciated a few more lingering shots of them so I could really absorb Winston's make-up designs. I guess that'll have to wait for the DVD, though. Wrong Turn is a fun popcorn flick that hammers home a point us city dwellers have known for a LONG time: STAY OUTTA THE WOODS!!!!

Summary: WRONG TURN=RIGHT TURN NEW HORROR (3.5/5)
Review: Wrong Turn is a breathe of fresh air considering the horror genre these days isn't what it used to be. I so sick of these pre-teen movies (Scream,The Ring,I Know What You Did,Signs,Ghost Ship,Valentine,Urban Legend)and all the other teeny booper garbage. Wrong Turn is not one of those awful films. First off the film stars Eliza Dushku(Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV Show,City By The Sea)and the others in the cast were new faces to me but well-acted overall. Second the film has a great atmospheric presence from a ruined down cabin to in the trees,junkyard,deep in the woods and so on which adds to the ambience and horror. Wrong Turn also has many twists and the director fools the audience a lot with something we think you could predict but changes it to a surpising element. Lastly the cannibals in this movie are very quick and battle to the last draw,with some cool death scenes(throat slit,arrow in the eye,dismemberment,multiple arrows in the heart,head hallowed out,and many more)and also many other reviewers have mentioned the famous treetop scene which destroys in every way. This movie brings back the memories of classics like (1978/Halloween, 1984/A Nightmare On Elm Street, 1984 Silent Night,Deadly Night(92min UNCUT NOT LAME 85 MIN DOUBLE FEATURE DVD), 1977/Dawn Of The Dead, 1981/The Burning(by Dragon not Vipco)which all have there own unique horror/slasher theme.BOTTOM LINE:GOOD ATMOSPHERE(ABANDONED CABIN,WOODS,TREETOPS,JUNKYARD,LAKES)PLENTY OF GORE(A CANNIBAL SAWS OFF ALL A VICTIMS LIMBS,NUFF SAID)Overall check this movie out I took off 1 and half stars for the movie not being original but still worth renting and very watchable.

Summary: WRONG TURN IS AN INSTANT CLASSIC
Review: I had been anticipating this movie for many months and upon seeing it I was not disappointed. Wrong Turn is an excellent, scary, fast-paced horror film. The premise has stranded kids searching for help but instead stumbling into the lair of a pack of deranged, backwoods freaks. The disfigured creatures have made quite a habit of capturing motorists and butchering and eating them. After slaughtering two of them it's up to the remaining four to escape. Wrong Turn is the rare scary movie that has good acting and character development as well as adrenaline-pumping, creepy scenes. Jeremy Sisto and Emannuelle Chriqui do a good job of gaining sympathy with their portrayals of two people in love and Desmond Harrington is very adept at playing an action hero. Eliza Dushku, who is a beauty with raging talent, makes a fine lead actress. This is a perfect movie with no flaws. Even the cinematography is above average. Look for the scene in the watch tower with the gorgeous shot of the setting sun. Wrong Turn is an ideal summer movie that will make you think twice about camping. It is the best horror movie to come out in years.
