  [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] This throwback nature slasher is likely to be a love or hate piece among most horror fans. Originality is definitely not the film's strongest point and it's numerous similarities with vintage pieces like "Deliverance" and "The Hills Have Eyes" are so obvious that one might dismiss it as a stupid, lazy, ordinary, ruthless, derivative slasher flick. But Wrong Turn is none of the above apart from the latter. If completely conventional Wrong Turn nevertheless manages to get everything you'd expect and would want from a wilderness horror movie right. It fits tab A into slot B perfectly well with some fairly inventive direction, good shock horror, a fun set up and some good gore. But the bonus in all this is decent performances of characters that you actually grow to care about as it unfolds. Personally I can't remember sitting through a generic slasher without wanting somebody to die within the first 10 minutes. But it never became innocuous and remained consistently scary. It's also very up front about the films it references which makes it's underlying playfulness and utter predictability that much more fun. The defining moment of the entire film for me, was when a character said "need I remind you about a film called Deliverance". Out of all the asinine shlock that's been released in the last ten years like the empty torture porn movies that have given horror a bad name I would much rather watch Wrong Turn to remind me that there are still some good people in the horror industry today. It's gritty, scary and hugely suspenseful. Though you can see the ending from miles behind it takes you through it's acts with the enormous energy the new slashers lack and is overall entertaining. I think at bare minimum all popcorn and vomit flicks need to be as well put together as Wrong Turn. The film is far from perfect, so that's really saying something.

  Very unrealistic, it moves too fast and has really poor acting. Might get a scare or two out of you, but that's about it.

  Scott: We are never going into the woods again! "It's the last one you'll ever take." Wrong Turn is easily the most unoriginal horror film I have ever had the displeasure of watching. The plot steals ideas from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, lines from The Blair Witch Project and ends up basically being the ReRemake of The Hills Have Eyes. If you don't know what's going to happen next, you've probably never seen a horror film. If you are disturbed by this material, you have never seen a well done horror film. If you like this; either A, you are 12 years old and think every movie labeled horror that you see makes you a badass or B, you don't watch many movies. This movie is extremely unlikable and the scariest thing about it is that it doesn't feature Eliza Dushku's worst performance. Yeah, she has been worse. Watch The Alphabet Killer and you'll see what I mean. The acting isn't really even worth talking about. It's one of those movies where you don't care about the characters. I want the guys to die quickly and leave the very attractive girls for last. Yeah they are horrible actresses, but damn. Then I want the girls to have a nice lesbian scene(never happens), then they can dies. I'm not a pervert, but it is the only thing that would make the movie at all interesting. The characters are dull and stupid and the plot has been done before; what else should be looking forward to. The sad thing is that it seems like director Rob Schmidt thinks he is shocking and disturbing. I don't think that's true, but at least it seems that way. He has to know everything about this movie has been copy-pasted from better movies. It actually turns out to be pretty offensive to horror fans. He thinks we are going to enjoy this. He was sorely mistaken.

  Those creatures scared me so much. I was hiding under my covers and was genuinely scared. A great horror film!

  Predictalbe, annoying, bad acting and obvious. With that landscape they could have done SO much better.

  Why maximum horror movies have the same idea like retard and ugly people kill normal people without any reason. I find it similar with "Hills Have Eyes". I wouldn't say that i was bored. It was okay enough to keep me watching till the end. And I must confess that the makeup was really good. I think I'll watch the second part. Not expecting to be spectacular but just to satisfy my curiosity :|

  I've seen this film under a different title. Hmmm what was the title? Oh yeah, The Hill's Have Eyes remake. The film starts of good enough and you think it will be good, but then thirty minutes in, it becomes very predictable as it follows basically the same pattern as the remake of Hills Have Eyes. With that said, for those who don't care about such things there is plenty of things in this film to enjoy, there's plenty of gore and violence for the gore hounds. If you can get past the fact that this film isn't at all original, then you might actually enjoy this film. I thought that Wrong Turn was mediocre, but the violence and gore was pretty intense, if it had a better plot, then I would've enjoyed this film a lot better. Luckily the sequel was better, much better.

  A less than mediocre horror standard. If The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho were never made, what would have been made over and over again the last 40 years? I'm pretty tired of this genre of horror films and this movie isn't much different than the rest. People get lost in the middle of nowhere, cannibals/inbreds/psychos/rednecks kill them, rape them and eat them. Bleh.

  Enjoyable trashy horror.

  I decided to see this movie mainly out of boredom plus an eye-friendly cast was promised, so i basically thought it'd turn out to be another standard popcorn horror flick. Thankfully, what i discovered was notably more enjoyable. Yes, it is true to say that it does follow along the same vein as many other horror movies in that many key aspects of it are quiet predictable. However, in spite of this, a distinct empathy can be felt for the majority of the protagonists, who you really don't want to fail victim to the insane, murderous, mountain psychos. Not alone this, but I feel that it is safe to proclaim, as i'm sure have and will many others, that the atmosphere is one of well created nail biting tension, which lasts throughout the duration of the film. In fact, I found the atmosphere that the movie exuded to be so compelling that I failed to notice certain flaws that would normally aggravate me in a film. I of course will refrain from elaborating on these details so as not to spoil the viewing for those who have yet to see it. What I really liked about this film was that it didn't try what so many other horror movies as of the last seven years or so haave tried- and that is to be ironic. It is just a horror movie, with the distinct and generally successful aim of scaring and entertaining. Its atmosphere undeniably achieves this, however its not alone, it is true to say that this film is not for the squeamish. Several scenes prove to be quite graphic. In this respect, I would have to admit that Wrong Turn doesn't have the makings of changing the world of movies as we know it, but it does however, have the capacity to push you to the edge of your seat. My advice is, if you're a horror fan, its well worth the watch!

  Wrong Turn has all the ingreients for a typical Scary Teen movie, ie. it's not particularly scary and it's very predictable. 'The Mountain men' weren't very original and I felt needed to be scarier than they were, having said that, this was a lot more bearable than most. I'm not sure I'll hold out for Wrong Turn 2 though.

• Ken S

  
  Thoroughly boring clichéd crap

• Dean !

  
  A very gory, violent horror at times. It has a cool change of theme for a horror film.

  Nothing special here. Just another TCM based story that is more akin to "The Hills Have Eyes" set in woods as opposed to desert. It's not a bad movie, but it's just not memorable. Example: I thought I hadn't seen this movie, but halfway through watching it… More
  Nothing special here. Just another TCM based story that is more akin to "The Hills Have Eyes" set in woods as opposed to desert. It's not a bad movie, but it's just not memorable. Example: I thought I hadn't seen this movie, but halfway through watching it yesterday, I realized that I must have seen it before because I remember the watchtower element, though that was ALL I remembered. At this point, these plots (we went down a road off the map and we're now being killed off by a family of cannibals) need to have a satirical spin such as House of 1000 Corpses or they need to be inventive re-creations of the genre: Aja & Levasseur's The Hills Have Eyes. The enemy creatures' homes are full of leftover props and dialogue from other movies of the same premise (Wolf Creek, the 2 TCM "Reboot" movies): "Look at how many families they've done this to!" "Look at all these sets of keys, guys!" On the plus side, the makeup is well done. The movie is clearly shot, but there is nothing new. It's not a bad movie, just not a particularly good one, and its sequel is far better.

• Sarah G

  
  A suspense film with no suspense and a very weak plot with a predictable outcome. Pretty much a terrible film. Now I realise why I stay away from these films.

• EightThirty .

  
  Pretty typical...very predictible...Its a plot that everybody will catch on to real quick ^_^

• Dan S

  
  Familiar plot with a lot of stupid people making stupid decisions.

• Daniel J D

  
  This movie was fun... to make fun of... Like a much tamer Hills Have Eyes.

• Bobby H

  
  Turned out to be pretty much pretty like every other horror movie, but it's worth a watch or two. I didnt mind it too bad, and that says alot coming from someone who dont like horror movies, 75% of the time.

• Lafe F

  
  A savage battle with gross mountain men; I would say more gritty and engaging than "Deliverance" ever was. The plot is very straightforward however, leaving us to sit and witness an episode of terror and torture.
