Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead is a film made in one of my favorite years, 2009, but that doesn't make it good sadly. The movie has a lot of problems:
1. The effects look good when practical, but the CGI is horrible.
2. The prison plot is boring in my opinion because I don't care about any of the characters except for Nate.
3. Three Finger is the only interesting mutant, I don't care for Three Toes that much.
4. The story is mostly the same as the first one, only differences are where the characters are coming from and why, and that the characters are aware of Three-Finger in the first half.
5. The money bags subplot isn't interesting to me and serves little to no purpose outside of the ending.
6. The subplot about Willy being an undercover agent posing as a criminal would be good if Willy wasn't killed early, and if the subplot was oh I don't know, ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED WITH THE OTHER CHARACTERS.
7. The prisoners are either unbearable or boring (or both). Brandon doesn't do anything important until around 50 minutes in, Willy is executed in a boring way and is killed early, Crawford is painfully annoying and perverted, Floyd isn't that interesting, and Chavez is annoying and is a bit generic.
8. My number one problem with this film is that the movie wastes most of its interesting characters (Sophie, Trey, and Brent) by killing them off in the first 6 minutes.
Pros: The music is good, the cinematography is great (Lots of 2009 films have nice imagery), Three Finger is awesome, the practical effects look pretty good, and Alex, Nate, Trey, Brent and Sophie are fun and interesting characters. Unfortunately, that's not enough to save this film.
If it was me, I would have the other teens be in the rest of the movie. Sophie could die around 29 minutes in, and Brent could die around 56 minutes, while Alex and Trey survive. Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead is a film that isn't horrible, but wastes its great opportunities, resulting in a miserable experience. 3.5/10.
