Revisiting the teenage slasher movies of the 1970s and 1980s, WRONG TURN is a tense, suspense-packed horror film starring Eliza Dushku (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER). When Chris...
more...(Desmond Harrington) is late for a job interview, he drives speedily through a backwoods dirt road, and winds up in a head-on collision with a group of teenage campers. As the cars are write-offs, the group has no option but to trek through the woods and seek help. Stumbling upon a mysterious cabin, the unhappy campers soon realise they are in grave danger when they happen upon a mixture of grotesque oddities and body parts, soon followed by the return of the freakish inhabitants of the disgusting abode. The intensity builds as the inbred, kill-crazy cabin dwellers go after Chris and the campers, leading to some grisly scenes in the dense woodland, and a series of brutal, bloody set-pieces from director Rob Schmidt.
WRONG TURN takes similar backwoods horror flicks like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES as its inspiration, providing visceral thrills aplenty, and the requisite amount of dumb teenage characters. Never lapsing into self-parody, the film should appeal to older horror movie fans keen to revisit the movies of their youth, and younger fans eager to witness some modern-day stalk-and-slash mayhem!

Diamond review   The hills have one eye and a limp
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by Zoe

Advantages: Sisto, Dushku and the occasional giggle
Disadvantages: Too formulaic to be anything more than boring at times

...back from the woods, what’s wrong with their face and what’s that they’re carrying? I feel stupid even telling you how formulaic this film is. Anyone who doesn’t read that plot summary and get a startling sense of déjà vu is obviously not a fan of the horror genre. Alan B. McElroy’s script is really ‘horror by numbers’ with the most startlingly obvious comparisons being with ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ (and a little seen but brilliant episode ... Read review

Not For The Faint Hearted
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by DarkMark

Advantages: has its moments
Disadvantages: cliche ridden, predictable, lack of tension, hollywood moments

Well... apparently so. Wrong Turn is a very violent, very predicable varriant of your routine slaher where; (deep breath) a group of people meet due to an unforeseeable, unavoidable accident and are picked off one by one in a predictable fashion by some unknown and evil force that either dwells there or has plans for world domination. The film begins with two collage sweathearts on a rock climbing excursion which ends in decapitation. The two teens ... Read review

White Tanktops and Buckets Of Blood
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by JayHall1991

Advantages: Good Cast, Nasty, Better Than Alot Of Other Genre Entries
Disadvantages: Predictable, Ridiculous

...movie is all about gore. Wrong Turn succeeds where other recent horror flicks have failed because it doesn't rely on gore to scare the audience it is just there to make the viewers squirm (one scene in the hut, when the cannibals eat a young woman is particularly grizzly) but the real trick is in the slow building tension, that this little thriller establishes so well. I don't think I could say that I was scared by this film, but I can tell you that ... Read review

Them Boys Is Backwoods
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by peppersinclaire

Advantages: Gory, tense.
Disadvantages: Arguably - nothing new.

ONLY YOU know that messing with people on their own property is not a clever thing. ONLY YOU know that woods are scary places. ONLY YOU can prevent getting yourself killed by savage mountain men. Let The Institute of Gory Movie Hazard Pointing Out and their mascot Pepper Bear guide you through the do’s and do not do’s of woodsmanship. #1 KNOW WHAT’S AHEAD Consider the example set out by the informative movie “Wrong Turn”. A doctor is on ... Read review

It's A Family Affair - My Favourite Film of 2003
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by LostWitness

Advantages: Nasty
Disadvantages: Nasty

...that forms the story behind Wrong Turn - and a very good story it is too. There are very few films that I have seen that had the same effect on me as this one did. I didn’t find Wrong Turn frightening because it was so far-removed from reality that the fantasy provided a safety-cushion. The sparkle in this film’s eye was tension, the sort of tension that stems from not really knowing what to expect and then being made to jump when it ... Read review

Wrong Turn
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by Nazuku

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: many

This is a review of the film and not the DVD. "Wrong Turn" portrays the tale of a group of 6 men and women on a camping trip. The people find themselves in the middle of a forest and get lost. This is an interesting film but it didn't really move me deeply. There was some good acting but the story line was simply not newsworthy. The editing on the other hand was top notch. I'd only recommend it if you have one brain cell. Certification: 18 Running ... Read review

The Woods Have Eyes, So You Better Be Careful
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by eve6kicksass

Advantages: Entertaining throwback to 1970s Horror Classics, tightly scripted and directed
Disadvantages: dull dvd features, aside from the 2 leads, other characters are less than interesting...some annoying

Wrong Turn? More like wrong choice of movie
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by Miss_BooBookitty

Advantages: It wasted an hour and a half
Disadvantages: It was appalling and wasted an hour and a half of my life

...could. Here’s my op on Wrong Turn, M xx • What’s the film about? (As this film is at the cinema still I am giving a very basic plot outline. I do not wish to spoil if for others. If you do want to know more though, please email me.) This film really reminds me of ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. Fair enough the mutants/cannibals do resemble Leather Face but there mutation is through years of in-breeding. Ok the film is about a group of 5 young ... Read review

Gore for the sake of gore?
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by liz1102

Advantages: Make-up was good.
Disadvantages: Cast, soundtrack, gore, script, short...... all just too predictable

Gore for the sake of gore? I don't know why I watched this movie! Horror and gore are not remotely my kind of movie. I'd much rather be sat giggling for two hours that preparing to jump for two hours. Turns out this wasn't even two hours, only 84minutes long, we were all sat there thinking that it couldn't the end yet, it needs to fill another 20minutes or so! Then again, making it any longer would just have been dragging out an already slow ... Read review

Babe In The Woods
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by utero

Advantages: Good scares, some shocks, tight pace
Disadvantages: Limited concept

...happens to Chris Flynn, his wrong turn leads to hell. No one is safe as he bands together with a bunch of teens including the very nubile Eliza Dushku. However they’re lost and they’re prey. Wrong Turn has a very simple concept. In fact it’s nothing more that your usual gory horror film but it’s one that works purely because it keeps itself very tight and very tense. This film reminded me of the dirty old horror movies of the seventies such as ... Read review

Wrong Turn; Right good!
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by Kyz22

Advantages: original concept, very scary
Disadvantages: some will dislike it

An average bloke on his way to an important job interview is driving through some sparsely populated area in the sticks and decides to take a shortcut through some desolate woods to cut a couple of hours off his journey time. On his way he meets a group of teens that he crashed into and they begin walking to find a mechanic or a garage to fix their cars. However things aren’t that simple and there wouldn’t be much of a storyline if they did find a ... Read review

Deliverance for the Scream Generation!!!
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by Slayerette

Advantages: Fun Cheesy Horror
Disadvantages: Cheesy Horror lol

...locals. That was one VERY wrong turn!!! The group on the run are an unlikely group (or are they for the modern wave of horror movies!!) Chris a doctor (always handy when those around you are losing their heads….and arms and kidneys), Jessie has just been dumped by her long term boyfriend (hmmm do I smell a whiff of romance) and a couple just recently engaged who only have eyes for each other (maybe that’s why they die – they should have been watching ...

JUst see it....once....
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by sophiekipling

Advantages: Good Performances
Disadvantages: couldve had a lot more

...title says is tall, A Wrong turn proves disastrous for a man left option less. He has no other choice due to the meeting he has to attend at a distant place. Even though this movie has a quite ordinary story I find this quite interesting, I love movies that have something out there killing people and know one understand what to do, the best of this type was Predator (1987, Arnie). Anyways as I was saying this movie can catch your attention even ... Read review

Don't sleep with your sister!
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by mbeart

Advantages: Gory, good action, some jumpy bits, good cast
Disadvantages: You know whats going to happen next,

Wrong turn, i love this film. It's not the best horror ever made, it's not even a classic in the making but for some reason i really like it! Might be due to the fact i'm a massive Eliza Dushku fan.. Plus to be honest i could imagine there are people out there similar to baddies in this movie. The movie is set in West Virginia by hillbilly town!!!! Basically the movie starts off with a couple of climbers in the woods, The male makes it up ... Read review

A bit of a joke, really
Review of Wrong Turn DVD by moo-cow

Advantages: Good for a laugh, with a good-looking cast and good effects.
Disadvantages: Um, it's supposed to be a horror film? Damn. That's not good.

...too-pretty brats who took The Wrong Turn - hence the title - and ended up lost in the middle of nowhere. Serves them right, I reckon. No surprises, no suspense, no action - and you see the oh-so predictable (and nauseating) love interest coming a mile away. I wanted a blood fest with screams and chases through dark woods galore. I was expecting lots of stumbling and flowing hair, that's par for the course, isn't it? But all I got was a stitch from ... Read review
