Summary: Right 'Turn'
Review: Some goofy kids take a "Wrong Turn" into some West Virginia woods and then all hell breaks loose. Those mountain men weren't that hideous, a lot of people look like that when they wake up in the morning. Really, this is a standard horror film, but it has its moments. The nasty brothers have a poor diet and they eat mysterious meat, tasty. There should've been a local dentist in town to help those poor boys. Well, everyone gets it except for the main guy (Desmond Harrington) and the main girl (Eliza Dushku) and they manage to blow up the incest house standing a few feet from the gas can. Is he crazy? He could've blown himself out of his own shoes. Kind of silly, but oh well.

Summary: better than expected
Review: This movie is like a MODERN day Deliverance - notice that modern is in all caps. Definitley intentional. Deliverance is a GREAT movie. This movie is just better than average. The story starts off when a perfect looking yuppie doctor slams his car into the SUV of a group of perfect looking twenty somethings, stranding them all in the middle of the backwoods that lead to nowhere in West Virginia. As they begin to walk the dirt road to try to find some help, they realize that they have bitten off a little bit more than they could chew. They are being hunted by inbred-hillbillie-mutants. Mutants doesn't even begin to describe these three things -they were absolutely revolting... probably the best part of the whole movie was looking at these creatures. I liked the movie because it was a good story that, although has pretty much been done to death, had potential. I was annoyed however at how Hollywood it was. I've been to the West Virginia backwoods --- THERE ISN'T ANYONE OUT THERE THAT LOOKS THIS GOOD! (no offense to all you west virginians) They were in perfect shape and the girl's make-up stayed perfectly intact and their hair never lost it's bounce or curl. Nothing annoys me more in a movie. But I'm just being picky here...With those things put aside, it's a pretty good horror flick.

Summary: Just like other horror movies
Review: This one might scare you if it's the first horror movie you've ever seen. For everyone else, "Wrong Turn" has nothing to offer you haven't seen before. Fans of Dushku may also enjoy this "Faith" kind of character in "Buffy". But those expecting any more than another film in which a "up-and-coming young stars" gets slaughtered, look elsewhere.

Summary: Ugh. Utterly devoid of entertainment.
Review: Just terrible. I am shocked at the positive reviews this boring drivel is receiving. Train-wreck dialogue--you know it's going to be ridiculous in a fright flick like this, but that's part of the fun. The lines here are just dead weights dropping on every scene. A mere handful of victims, with only one interesting character--Jeremy Sisto. And only a few shots of the baddies! One star for the "In the Trees" sequence, the rest fails miserably.

Summary: Scary as Hell with the Imbreds!
Review: The starting of the movie starts with a couple climbing a mountain and from there it becomes the trip from hell.Eliza Dushku at her best, stars as Jessie a girl whose friends are on a camping trip and Chris comes and rams their vehicle. Jessie comes out and their tires were not blown out by barb wire left on the road but by barb wire attached to the trees and strung across the road. So the helpless campers go on the road in search of people who could help them. Evan and Francine are left and they are the first to get it, and then the tired campers stumble across the home of the unknown and from there they are now the bait to the imbred cannibals. Hope you liked the review and the movie as much as I did. And I don't want to go camping again for a while.

Summary: A True Contender for CHAINSAW Successor
Review: In October 2003, New Line Cinema and director Marcus Nispel offered up a remake of Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic horror film THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. Ardent fans of the original were curious, but skeptical. Would the new TCM match the rawness and realism of the original? Could the new film raise adrenaline levels to the same soaring heights? Was it possible that this remake would finally wrest the mantle of terror from the scariest slasher film ever? Hardly. Like the majority of film remakes, New Line's THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is a huge disappointment to ardent fans of the original. In spite of some promising acting talent, Nispel and crew seem oblivious to the elements that made the original film so great. Simply throwing out lots of disturbing or repulsive images does not a horror classic make. The TCM remake will never assume the place of honor held by its older namesake. But it can be convincingly argued that the year 2003 has offered a promising contender. Although it is by no means meant to be a remake or an update of the original THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, director Rob Schmidt's WRONG TURN is, in spirit at least, the heir apparent to Hooper's classic. It offers the same basic plot elements: A group of young adults unwittingly stumble into the territory of a family of backwoodsy, cannibalistic southerners who relentlessly strive to place the young folk on the evening menu. And unlike the ill-begotten TCM remake, WRONG TURN offers genuine chills, thrills, and scares rather than mere repugnant imagery, and it also shares the same dark sense of humor that permeated Hooper's film. The characters in the original TCM were based in reality. Tobe Hooper has said on many occasions that he based his cannibalistic family on Edward Gein, the real-life ghoul from Plainfield, Wisconsin, whose necrophilic and cannibalistic atrocities were discovered after his arrest for murder in the late 1950s. Hooper also used his film to caricature southerners, specifically Texans, and to satirize their rural mores. In a similar vein, the villains in WRONG TURN are also founded in reality. The venerable Stan Winston, producer and FX supervisor for the film, explains in one of the DVD featurettes that he and his crew did extensive research for the make-up design, and all of the physical deformities depicted in WRONG TURN are medically documented defects caused by generations of inbreeding. Add to that the fact that there have long been legends about familial groups in the southern mountainous regions of the United States who have been sequestered away from civilization for generations, and it's not too much of a stretch to believe that inbred grotesqueries like those in WRONG TURN could really exist. In a sense, then, the subtext of this film, like that of Hooper's TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, is a darkly wry satire or caricature of the rural southern lifestyle. In the feature commentary on the DVD version of WRONG TURN, director Schmidt states that, with this film, his aim was to re-create the atmosphere and scares of a 1970s-style horror movie. In that, he definitely hit the bull's-eye. So those who miss the horror flicks of the '70s will love this film, though any horror enthusiast will find it good fun. And fans of Tobe Hooper's original THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE who were rightfully let down by the recent remake should forget that film and, instead, consider WRONG TURN to be the TCM for the new millennium.

Summary: Scary and Entertaining
Review: Of course, most of the critics didn't think too much of this. Why? The plot isn't amazing and it's not an epic film, but hey, movies are meant to entertain and this one sure does. The acting is well done, the suspense is nice, and the special effects are cool looking. There was a lot of gore I think they added so they could say "look what I can do," but I thought this was a great movie nonetheless. If you like horror movies at all, or slasher flicks, more than likely you'll like this. I loved it. It was a lot of fun and it scared me in quite a few scenes. I agree with another review, this movie has some amazing scenes in it.
The only thing I thought was horribly wrong was in then scene when the two guys try to distract the villians, they scream "Hey! Over here! Come and get me!" and then later the girl does it too. Fortunately, the dumb hillbillies didn't notice... but anyone with a brain would realize they're trying to distract you so they can do something...
