Film review: ‘WRONG TURN’ by Nick Gardener from ‘Built For Speed’
Slasher film Wrong Turn is a petty like a cinematic Frankenstein’s monster, stitched together from bits of other films. There’s the backwoods inbred redneck menace of The Hills Have Eyes and Deliverance (minus the pig squealing), the ‘forest as a threatening alternate world’ horror of The Blair Witch Project and the kidnapping nightmare of Wolf Creek. Derivative as it is, Wrong Turn does offer a twist that in itself evokes other films and TV shows but is at least a little surprising given the film’s trajectory up to that point.
Wrong Turn sees a group of confident, attractive, educated 20-somethings, ostensibly led by the good-nature Jen (Charlotte Vega) embark on what they think will be a fun and exciting trek along the Appalachian trail. They needed to survey more slasher movies before embarking on this jaunt, though, as, despite all the ominous warnings from creepy locals, they step off the trail and find themselves lost in the woods. Soon they become prey to sinister figures lurking in the forest who start to pick them off one by one. As the survivors come face to

John: "I was wrong about you, Jen. You are strong."
Jen: "I had to be if I was ever gonna get away from you."
Okay, forewarning period. As a horror franchise, I have no authentic attachment to Wrong Twist whatsoever. I've only seen the original once and have never bothered looking out for the five sequels that followed but for some strange reason, I decided to monitor this one and the results were largely mixed to be honest.
The story is simple enough - six people decide to go on the Appalachian trial and by the end of this, only one makes it out of the traumatic events that follows but as the end led to believe, you can never escape the creepy, villainous tribe of the piece, also known as the Foundation.
Our six protagonists are three couples - two straight couples with Jen (Charlotte Vega) and Darius (Adain Bradley) and Adam (Dylan McTee) and Milla (Emma Dumont) along with gay couple, Gary (Vardaan Arora) and Luis (Adrian Favela). I'm gonna explain you right now, there's zero point in entity even the tiniest bit invested in any of these pairings.
It's great for a horror film to have a gay couple among the main charact

Wrong Turn (2021)
A group of friends make the mistake of venturing off the trail while hiking through the Appalachian Mountains. There, they encounter a group of people who have lived out there for hundreds of years and they don’t take kindly to trespassers.
Most horror fans are familiar with the 2003 inbred-cannibal thriller, Wrong Turn, and the sequels that followed it. Now, director Mike P. Nelson (Summer School, The Domestics) has teamed up with the original film’s screenwriter, Alan B. McElroy (Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers), to reboot the film. While both films grab place in the Appalachians and involve hikers being hunted, the similarities conclude there. This motion picture follows a team of friends, all of whom are quite accomplished. They have an unpleasant encounter with the locals in a small town before heading out to hike the tail. Everything goes fantastic until they exit the trail. They encounter a community called “The Foundation” who have lived out in the wilderness for generations and they will do whatever it takes to maintain their way of life. The plot is a refreshing change from what fans are used to in Wrong Turn films. In
It will be news to most that Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort was released back in 2014. The cannibal caper was so exhausted that just one critic slated it on Bad Tomatoes – no one else could be bothered. It appeared to be the series’ swan song, adding a final 90 minutes to what had become a slideshow of murder, with characters and narrative a total afterthought. Instead, the filmmakers explored what it looks like when you drill someone’s torso with a garden auger, or how much blood sprays when you run them over with a snow blower. For Wrong Turn 6, director Valeri Milev made his mark on the oeuvre by showing what happens when you accomplish a colonoscopy with a fire hose, riffing on the petrol pump meets human esophagus moment in 2011’s Inbred.
What next for a series that has done it all? To endure killing people with garden tools and heavy machinery is banal at this point. Well, after seven years of pensive thought, the people at Constantin Film decided it was time for a reboot with six New York millennials and a heavy dose of political commentary. These millennials are mixed race couple Jen (Charlotte Vega) and Darius (Adain Bradley), Adam (Dylan McTee) and his girlfrien
