One of the best slahers ever and the best one in The "Wrong Turn" Franchise
16 May 2021
One of my personal favorite horror films in a style of "Deliverance". I really wish I would have this film on Blu-ray, but sadly I don't have it, because it was never on my mind. Because over the years I watched the sequels they were so bad awfull that I stayed away from this franchise. I have not seen Part VI: The Last Resort cause Part 3, 4 and 5 were so god awful specially 4 that I couldn't eat anymore, it was so grussome. I hate the sequels. Wrong Turn the original should be a stand up alone movie not a franchise. There was no need for making a sequels.

I love this movie to death!!!! I love Eliza Dushku as Jesse Burlingame the main heroine and I love Desmond Harrington as Chris Flynn a bad ass hero. A remake come out this year and I will watch it soon. As for the movie it has no sex or nudity it is like "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" boom of the slashers. I love the songs used in this film: Halloween by Dream Syndicate, You Can't Quit Me Baby by Queens of the Stone Age and Wish I May by Breaking Benjamin great songs.

The story talks about Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington) driving cross country road in West Virgina on his way to a job interview. There is a chemical spill on the road, so being short on time, he decides to take a different route, an abandoned dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Unawhere he makes a wrong turn and accidently hits a car from 5 friends on a camping trip. Now they are all stranded in the road in the forrest in the middle of nowhere. So now group of friends all split. A couple stay back by their car while Chris and other 3 friends are going out on a tour to the road for help. Not knowing someone put a trap on them. Now Chris and his new friends become the target from a trio of cannibalistic mountain men horribly disfigured from years of in-breeding. They are the hunters and Chris and his friends are the prey and they are being hunted down one by one. It reminds me on an 80's slasher films like "Just Before Dawn" and "The Final Terror". This movie should be consider it a classic.

Great slasher and great story and great practical effects. A trooper get's an arrow in the head. One of the friends get's three arrows in the back while running away. There is a tree climbing which I love that. One of the cannibals get's hit by a branch in the head. Climatic finale in a cabin is a bad ass. I love the running chases trough the woods. Jesse is been tied with ropes by cannibals and Chris goes like bad ass he is in a rescue mission. He sets the cabin on fire. Drives a police truck trough the cabin in to a "One-Eye" fights him off and stabs him my absolutely favorite scene. Saves Jesse when she has a dog leash in her mouth. Jessie shoots "Saw-Tooth" in the back with an arrow another my favorite scene. Eliza Dushku with bow and arrow is much better shooter than Sheri Moon Zombie "3 From Hell" I hate that movie and I hate Sheri Moon Zombie she is a god awful actress!

Eliza Dushku's best performance she is an awesome heroine as Jesse Burlingame she was in Bring It On, Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Faith and Angel and in Tru Calling I miss the actress. Desmond Harrington is great as Chris his best performance. Julian Richings, Garry Robbins and Ted Clark are great as three cannibal hunter killers. I think Rob Schmidt did a great direction he directed this movie perfectly. Alan McElroy provided a great screenpley that deliver it. The direction by the director it has great vision and it is brilliant.

The effects are great delivered by Stan Winston R. I. P. You have gore, blood and a lot of slashing in this film. What else do you want? One of the best slashers of the early 2000's. 10/10 one of my favorite horror slasher films.
