Very Cool!!!
the audience applauded
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL TO WATCH THE "UNRATED" VERSION OF ALL THE 6 FILMS..! Good Story....Same as you can guess. Good Acting. ...... That's it. Nothing to say more about it
This is a great movie. It is very scary. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. It also has a great story line. If it does not scary you no movie will. It will scary you. 6.1 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 6.1 is underrating it. This is 10 out of 10. This movie is scary then Halloween and that is not easy to do. I am running out for things to say. And I need more lines. Great movie great movie great movie great movie great movie. See it see it see it see it see it. Sorry to have to repeat myself so much. But this a great movie. If you like horror stories then you will like this movie. See it. It is a great movie.
Getting stranded in the Virginia backwoods, a man and a group of campers slowly come to realize they're being hunted and killed one- by-one by a family of deranged cannibalistic killers and must find a way of stopping them and get out of the woods alive.This here was quite the fun and highly enjoyable efforts. One of the film's better features here is the fact that there's a hugely enjoyable atmospheric touch here provided by the forest setting that makes this one so much fun here. This one really plays up the creepy and foreboding woods right from the outset here as the lush vegetation and dense tree-lines really give this a really beautiful, majestic air that's quite chilling as well. It's a nearly perfect playground for a backwoods-set slasher like this as there's plenty to like about those moments, starting with the tense and rather thrilling house escape chase back into the woods once they've realized the family's there as they go into the woods and stumble upon the deserted car park which is another stellar series of encounters trying to get away. A later attack in the forest as they attempt to get away and another highlight effort where they get trapped in a lookout tower and must fend off their assaults while the killers light the whole effort on fire and forcing them out into the treetops for a fine series of encounters and are able to battle back quite nicely. As well, there's the other really good encounter out on the road where they get ambushed along the roadside and leading to a highly enjoyable brawl where she gets abducted as well as the one rather brutal kill that sets up the finale here as the attempt to reclaim her features a slew of high-end action brawling around their compound leading to the final confrontation in the burning house which is rather exciting as well as adding in some brutal kills along the way. This is also helped rather nicely by the opening walk-through of their abandoned house which gives this a creepy, chilling vibe here with the scattered remnants of their collected items, broken-up belongings and scattered human remains stuck littering the grounds and gives this such a terrifying tone right at the beginning to really make for a dark, brutal slasher. Coupled with the nice gory kills and some imposing villains, there's a lot to really like here as this one has only a single detrimental element bout it. This one is really only hurt by one small fact in that there's a huge missed opportunity in having the group split up as early as they are which really creates an offbeat pace. By keeping the group so small and then killing off that many in the first stages, it causes such a long break between them that there are stretches without tension as they have to escape in order to keep the plot going. Likewise, these kills are all off-screen and then shown the aftermath afterward which is rather disappointing. This here is the only real flaw to this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
Wrong Turn certainly isn't a bad movie, it's just plagued by some mistakes. First of all, good lord, the inbred killers in the film are freaky looking, which is a good thing, they really needed to be, and the chanting and banshee like screaming they do is just the icing on the cake. The violence was a bit too graphic for my personal taste, but it wasn't as bad as some others I've seen. The runtime was pretty short, but it fit this movie, any longer and it would've been dragging. The actors did a pretty good job with their roles, I did enjoy that. The action scenes were pretty good and high octane, running, screaming and wondering if the character is gonna make it through alive. I just didn't like how some of the scenes in the middle sorta drug on a bit, that was probably it's biggest flaw. Overall, I give Wrong Turn a 6/10. Oh and they should've left out that very last part in the middle of the credits, didn't care for that.
