Wrong Turn review by Shatner's Bassoon
An entertaining slasher flick
(2) of (3) members found this review helpful.
Wrong Turn revolves around a group of 6 people who on the course of a car journey take a wrong turn and end up in the back woods of West Virginia. As one car runs over some barbed wire leaving the passengers stranded in the middle of the road, another car crashes into it due to the driver not paying attention. Stranded in the middle of a forest where their mobile phones can't get a signal, and not a petrol station or any other convenience for miles, part of the group decide to walk back the way they came in hope of finding help while the others stay behind with the vehicles. Unfortunately they have all strayed into the hunting grounds of a group of cannibalistic mountain men out on a killing spree. Stylistically the film pays homage to 70's horror films such as 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre', 'The Hills Have Eyes' and backwoods thrillers like 'Deliverance' and 'Southern Comfort', in the fact that is doesn't try and be overly clever or ironic. It's just a horror movie, with the aim of scaring and entertaining, which it does in abundance. Overall, the film is well directed, the acting is well above average for a film within this genre, and the script keeps the characters making fairly intelligent decisions most of the time, combined this with some clever special effects and plenty of gore and it's a must see film for horror fans.
