Bad transfer for very bad movies... sounds fitting.

I went through the six Wrong Turn movies this week. Since most of the series is direct-to-video, I understand this franchise doesn't stand with those for Jason, Michael, and Freddy, but for those seeking gore and gratuitous nudity, one could do worse than spend time with Three Fingers and his vicious backwoods cannibalistic kin.

Wrong Turn is a solid effort, sporting a decent, likeable cast and effects from Stan Winston. Before credits, the movie runs a brisk 80-odd minutes and establishes the shrieking Three Fingers and his two grunting brothers.

Wrong Turn 2 unfortunately turns to a level of camp that undermines the horror. A bunch of weak actors portray contestants of a reality program. Here the highlights are Henry Rollins as the program host and some subtle misdirection that leaves the identity of The Final Girl in question for a good deal of the movie.

Director Declan O'Brien took over the reins of the series for the next three entries, and the positive here is that the director is careful not to repeat gags and comes up with some creative kills. The third film involves a bunch of convicts and their hostages after the brothers derail their bus during a prison transfer. The fourth is a prequel that somewhat violates previous mythology as the boys take on a large group of twenty-somethings who take refuge from a winter storm in a not-so-abandoned hospital. This is my personal favorite of the series. It has a terrific ending.

In Wrong Turn 5 the boys come to town to spring their benefactor, the up-right and intelligible Doug Bradley, when he is arrested. This is probably the most sadistic of the series with some overly elaborate kills, and the dispatch of one character made so likeable that the level of torture attached to her death feels unnecessary. Bradley is forced to utter some distasteful lines that I think might have made Pinhead blush. Whenever I watch this one the deserted town makes me wonder if this is how it is in Green Bay on game day.

With O'Brien gone, the series finishes (maybe) with number 6, a truly odd outing where the brothers take a backseat to a more human drama in which a young man discovers that he has not only inherited a castle-like spa but possibly the patriarchal throne of the inbred. After the budgetary shortcomings exposed in "the town" built for the previous movie, this film is one of those cheapies made in Eastern Europe because "we found this great estate location." The "highlight" here is a sex act involving some stirrups that gets rudely interrupted.

I don't know if there will ever be a Wrong Turn 7. Part of me is amazed that six got made, but I have to admit that the writers were creative, if not at times misguided, in their attempts to keep things fresh. There's plenty of gore and certainly enough skin considering how little makes it onto the screen today. O'Brien pretty much made sure the nudity appeared in the first reel. Once again, the fourth film takes the prize in this category.

I am not trying to champion these movies, but I believe they shouldn't be so quickly dismissed, especially by horror fans who may not have tried them. It's a mixed bag, whether one is judging plot, acting or effects, but they all have their moments.

NOTE: The current set includes the first five movies. The sixth movie can be purchased separately.

Thanks for the rundown - I've been looking to grab this for $9.99 at FYE but keep passing it up.. Good to know there is adequate gore and nudity so I think I'll go for it

Look out for a pretty bad continuity flub in the first film. Watch the flower Jeremy Sisto wears around his neck and when it gets there.

I was always watching Eliza Dushku in her wife beater. Never noticed the flower flaw

Brown · 10-16-2017, 11:40 PM

I prefer either Emmanuelle Chriqui or Lindy Booth, the former pivotal to the continuity error to which I previously referred.

TripleHBK · 10-17-2017, 01:41 AM

I've never watched any of these films but have been slowly piecing together a collection of all the individual releases. I'm only needing parts 3 & 4 at this point. Once I've got the full collection I'll be running through a marathon as well.

I just finished watching the Hatchet trilogy last night and despite its flaws it made me miss the boogey man era of horror. I keep hoping that with the end of each horror flavor/fad that we'll see a return to creative boogeymen that franchises can be built around. No easy task for sure, but I'm ready for another golden era of horror.

DJR662 · 10-17-2017, 02:12 AM

Not interested in any of the sequels but if/when the first one gets that much needed new transfer, it'll be a day one buy!

EvilResident · 10-17-2017, 02:46 AM

I have a soft spot for this series. I find the even-numbered ones to be the most watchable. I enjoyed 2 and 4 the most. 6 is incredibly weird and feels like it threw out any kind of continuity with the series. By the time I got to that movie, though, I was fine with that. It's an enjoyable, schlocky series. 5 was hard for me to watch. Bradley really was disturbingly evil in that one and the sets look like one of those indoor museum-type places that are meant to look like a city.

The Great Owl · 11-01-2017, 03:48 AM

When a medical student takes a shortcut through West Virginia dirt roads on his way to an interview, a car crash strands him in the wilderness, along with five vacationing college kids. Their efforts to travel on foot to safety come to a gruesome end when they find themselves at the mercy of cannibalistic disfigured inbreds who know every inch of the inhospitable mountain terrain and who are hungry for fresh victims.

Eliza Dushku, who was best known at the time for her role as Faith in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series, stars as one of the more resourceful protagonists, while Desmond Harrington (Dexter) plays the medical student who must evade the cannibals despite having a wounded leg. Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage), Lindy Booth (2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead), Jeremy Sisto (Law & Order), and Kevin Zegers (Gossip Girl) round out the assortment of potential mountain man cuisine. The actors are all wonderfully likable in their roles, allowing us to become quickly attached to their characters. That attachment lends the necessary tension to the story, because we want all of these people to be okay.

I saw Wrong Turn at the theater upon its release back in 2003, and present-day viewings of the film bring back a flood of fun memories associated with those days. At the time, I introduced the film to co-workers and friends, because we used to spend weekends hiking the mountain trails of north Georgia. These trail outings soon featured jokes about being chased by inbred cannibals, since pretty much every friend and acquaintance who saw the film became a fan.

This film sets the stage so well with its pre-credit sequence of two mountain climbers who meet a bloody demise and its opening credits montage of news articles about missing hikers and rafters. The eeriest moment of the film involves a large meadow full of blood-splattered vehicles, old and new, belonging to former victims of the mutant killers. I have always enjoyed movies about cultures and groups who exist well beyond the boundaries of normality here in America, and the notion of mountain cannibals who survive for decades by killing trespassers strangely appeals to me for that reason.

I love the way that Wrong Turn, with its lean mean Deliverance-meets-The Texas Chainsaw Massacre storyline, comes across like a throwback to the golden age of slasher movies from the early 1980s, and I'll always remember how it was a breath of fresh air when it was first released. The late 1990s and early 2000s were a tough time for the genre. Wes Craven's 1996 film, Scream, was an impressive and iconic work on its own terms, but it pretty much killed horror for several years after, because it established a trend of self-aware “meta” movies that winked at their audiences. Wrong Turn was the first scary film in a long while that did not wink at the viewer, and, as such, it was instrumental in bringing slasher cinema back to the glorious basics.

Even now, 14 years after its release, this movie provides a near-perfect jolt of backwoods horror awesomeness.

Unfortunately, the 20th Century Fox Blu-ray of Wrong Turn is pretty weak and pales in comparison to better high definition horror releases from the likes of Vinegar Syndrome, Arrow, or Scream. This Blu-ray looks better than my old DVD, but only by a slim margin. I'm happy with this disc, especially since I bought it for five dollars, but I'd love to see a better future release that could really bring out the “oomph” of detail and color that would do this film so well. The audio presentation delivers quite nicely, and the supplementary features are great, but let's do something about the video look.

Video presentation notwithstanding, this title belongs in the collection of every serious horror fan.

I'm kind of conflicted...

I didn't like the original all that much, but I haven't seen it since I bought the DVD at Blockbuster in 2004. I remember feeling that the characters were pretty weak and it left me not caring about their fates. If this is the best in the franchise and all of the others are far inferior it makes it tough to see how I coukd enjoy this series.

On the other hand, at 10 bucks you're talking about 2 bucks for each fim. If even 2 of them turn out to be amusing it justifies the price.
