Wrong Turn series... any good?

[cuzzin]

I recently picked up the 6th installment on Blu-ray. I wasn't really even trying to buy it, I just wanted to see if Best Buy would sell it to me because, apparently, some people on here had issues trying to buy it in stores because the studio has issued a recall of the film. Now I have the sixth film without having seen any of the others, outside of the original with Eliza Dushku. So now I'm thinking about buying the first 5 films on Blu. How would you guys rank this series against other horror series, such as the Saw franchise? Is there a continuing, connected storyline that spans the series or is each film just a standalone movie?

Only the first one was worth anything.

And even that wasn't anything special.

I did enjoy it a bit when it first came out but yeah watching now it really isn't all that great.

I've only seen the first one as well (and liked it) but the consensus on here seems to be that it's a guilty pleasure series, not for everyone.

I think some of inbreeders are the same, but no....none of the stories are connected.

One is the best, although my girl Lindy Booth needed more screentime.

Second one is decent, mostly cause Henry Rollins.

3 had some really bad acting, 4 was a prequel that was so insultingly awful I never watched the rest.

Best Buy had the first three in a set for $9.99 at Halloween.

It's a fun romp,but a cinematic experience...nah!

I figure it won't hurt to start with the first three and see what I think. I've seen the first but it was so long ago I barely remember it. It helps that they're pretty cheap on Amazon right now.

Nooooooooope.

I really enjoyed the first two. The rest aren't that good. The 6th was the worst. Thought it was downright terrible.

I thought that the first 3 movies were pretty good. I disliked the 4th. I have never seen the 6th one. I didn't know they even had/made a 6th Wrong Turn movie.

[assydingo]

First four are fun. Five didn't quite work out and the sixth was pretty decent until the ending.

[lolwut]

First one was mediocre and overrated. Second one was terrible and overrated.

[MovieKing101]

The first was good, I turned off the 2nd instalment 50 mins in.

Skipped the rest. I heard the 6th is the worst movie ever by some people.

[cuzzin]

Would this series be comparable to the Joy Ride series? Both original films in each series had theatrical releases, with all subsequent sequels being DTV.

As I saw "Wrong Turn (2003)" suggested on the comment section of a YouTube video (people gone missing in the woods and such), I decided to watch it and it's a very good movie in its own right.

I guess what's out there is something of the sort or worse. No one can prove or disprove since there's no video evidence (there is audio recordings, but animals can make some seriously chillingly creepy noises, so there's that).

Something that kind of annoyed me about the movie was that

[Show spoiler]Desmond (or Chris in the movie) had multiple chances to grab a katana or a gun, yet it took him way too long.
