Pretty Good

Just what I expected

Good concept, poorly executed.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The third film in a cult favorite film series. This time a group of prisoners and the guards find themselves lost in the backwoods with Three Fingers and Two Toes. The film begins with river rafters going down the rapids and setting camp. A few get grossly murdered and the sole woman runs off. Next a bus crash with prisoners sets the stage for an onslaught of fights, bad dialogue, and more grissly acts. The acting is terrible and forced, fight scenes are poorly choreographed. These films are a cult favorite and the scenery is becoming. I give the third installment a 3/10

Judging from my other reviews, you would not think that horror films would be my thing, especially very gory ones. Actually aim to have a diverse taste in film, so seeing films from all decades and genres with no bias intended. Plus have seen my fair share of horror franchises where at least one film has been good.Personally quite enjoyed the first two 'Wrong Turn' films, they weren't perfect or great but had a lot to recommend. The same cannot be said for 'Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead', it contributed towards the 'Wrong Turn' series' decline and is one of the worst of the worst 'Wrong Turn' films. Its least bad assets are Tom Frederic, who at least tries, and moments of creepiness in the music when it wasn't being intrusive or discordant.The rest of the cast are poor, they accentuate that their very sketchily developed characters are either bland, obnoxious or both and impossible to care for. Plus there are some extremely variable accents going on. Tamer Hassan is the biggest dishonourable mention here. While the script may not have been strong suits as such in the previous two films, they at least had moments. The writing here was just pure stilted clichéd cheese, nothing witty here.While the stories were not perfect in the previous two films, being derivative and simplistic and the second film did have some dodgy moments in the first half too, they at least had atmosphere. Especially the first, where there was a lot of fun, tension-building, suspenseful claustrophobia and mystery that weren't quite as strongly delivered in the second (which still had atmosphere).Story here also makes the mistake of being formulaic and over-simplified, and further suffers from having none of what made the previous two films work. Everything is just too cheap, too safe, too predictable and too clean. It had a decent premise to work from, but starts dull, un-scary and dumb and stays like that all the way instead of doing the thankful 180 that the second film did.Visually, there is nothing slick, professional, inventive or atmospheric here. Particularly bad in this regard is the visual effects, the only thing that scary about them is how risible they are. The direction has no personality or professionalism of any kind, there isn't a sense of understanding the genre or how to overcome a less than lavish budget.Overall, a series that started off promisingly takes a deadly downturn for the worst. 2/10 Bethany Cox

After the unsuspecting teenagers in part 1 and the game show contestants in part 2, the third installment shows us a bunch of criminals going into the woods, after a bus crashed. This is a great idea, because there are much tougher conflicts between the non-cannibals (surviving wardens and prisoners) as well as higher fighting skills when they need to defend themselves against the monsters. A simple formula, but very enjoyable just for the action scenes and the characters who love to be mean and don't mind the extra violence. 'Wrong Turn 3' also has its bad points, for example the 5 minutes opening it, when 4 young people on a rafting trip down the river are chased - poorly acted and as silly as an 80s comedy. But it gets better after that. Visually, there are a lot more dark scenes than in the previous sequel, and it's more effective if an arrow is shot out of the dark than seeing a monster chase someone in broad daylight. I voted 8/4/6/7/5/4 for the 6 movies.

On it's own it's an OK movie, but nowhere next to the best in the Wrong Turn franchise.Left for Dead goes back to the original inbreed slasher they had in the original, which is a good thing, and vast improvement over the last one.This time around the inbreed slasher family (I don't know if they have an official name) hunt down a bus filled with inmates from a near by penitentiary who attempt to escape after the inbreeds cause their bus accident only to wish they were back on the bus heading for prison.Not since John Carpenter's, The Thing has there been a horror movie with so much testosterone being hunted like oversexed teenage girls, but I guess A group of prisoners who have not been with a woman in a while can give off the same sent to a slasher.So the one thing this movie does well that the whole franchise is built on is doing things differently than other slasher films and not relying too much on the clichés.But the characters being killed are not that interesting, and are not played too well by the actors portraying them, so it falls really short of what it could be.On its own, it's mediocre but the weight of having it be a part of the wrong turn titles gave it shoes to big to fill, and it couldn't do it.
