I'm not joking.
As a "Wrong Turn" movie, this was awful. As a weird, cult-y drama (I got "Wicker Man" vibes), it was okay.
The acting was pretty bad, but the story kept me reasonably engaged throughout.
Then, during the coda, it looked like the movie was going to end a certain way and I was pissed. I was shouting at the screen: "You better not end now!! This is bull crap!!"
But it DID. The title card splashed on the screen. The credits began to roll.
I was furious. "Nooooooo!!"
BUT....
The film kept going. And something happened that changed everything.
Not gonna say what happened, but my son and I were rolling on the floor laughing.
I'm not sure that was the filmmaker's intention, but it worked for us anyway.
Maybe the best bait-and-switch I've ever seen. Was it Shakespearian? Nope. Was it brilliantly hilarious and absurd? Absolutely.
That final minute or so made the movie for me. Genius.
