Synopsis:
A chaotic fight for survival befalls a group of friends on the Appalachian trail in this iconic franchise reboot from the original creator Alan. B. McElroy. When a dream trip turns into a nightmare, one group of friends find themselves at the mercy of an urban legend - The Foundation. As a freak accident drives the group deeper into the mountains, they start fatally succumbing one by one to hunting traps large enough to take out anyone that dares venture off the beaten path. The group soon realises they are not alone and what happens next escalates into a gruesome game of survival, as those who call the mountain home respond to this outside threat with their own swift and brutal justice.

Decent except the ending - Wrong Turn review by TH

Spoiler Alert
20/06/2021

The original wrong turn film was a decent horror movie with tense moments and decent scares.

Then came some laughably bad sequels that had some terrible acting and silly kill scenes.

Luckily this reboot does some things well. Shame to see the cannibals gone and replaced with psychotic cult.

The pacing is much slower but allows for the atmosphere to set in. The characters are still a bit underdeveloped besides the main girl and her dad.

Some scenes are quite creepy and at least it tried something different.

Would of been 3 stars if not for some bits that irked me like the boyfriend deciding he wants to stay and the ending was a bit flat.

2 out of 5 is the rightscore

A more balanced view than the original. - Wrong Turn review by NP

Spoiler Alert
20/05/2022

I would say the only similarity this has with the ‘Wrong Turn’ film series up to this point, is that a group of people get attacked in the woods. We have no cannibalism and little in the way of gore here – in the fact the aggressors seem to be just as reasonable, if not more so, than the ‘heroes’ on occasion.

We have a more diverse range of protagonists with this update, and they are referred to as ‘hipsters’ at one point. Although collectively annoying, they are much more appealing than many of the horny/stoned teen ‘cattle’ from previous films, or indeed many from this genre.

The story is an interesting one, and is much more contained than any of the preceding films: I can’t see there being a linear sequel to this (although of course, I may be wrong). Although the characters are more intelligent, and their situation is more than just slasher territory, I can see why some feel short-changed due to the lack of horror or anything much in the way of scares. The whole thing is a series of events rather than a tale that grows in pace or intensity, more of a series of chapters in a book. It’s good stuff, exceptionally well played and very good at wrong-footing the audience. Even the end credits sequence contains another twist.

My only issue would be – why call it ‘Wrong Turn’ when it is so different and more folk horror than the preceding films? I suspect the obfuscation comes down to making money, which does the resulting production an injustice. My score is 7 out of 10.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat - Wrong Turn review by MF

Spoiler Alert
21/09/2021

We were expecting some hillbillies chasing students in the woods, what we watched was unexpected and surprisingly kept us hooked with a great twist at the end. It kept us speaking about it for several days afterwards and also away from our woods whilst dog walking for the same time, when it was dropping dark.

Yes a little bit far fetched, but you watch a film for escapism, especially these days.

Only afterwards did we look further into the film and realise it was a remake of other films, some of which we have now put on out rental list. Sure these will look dated, but there you go.
