Just what I expected

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Undermined from the very beginning by gratuitous sex scenes including straight sex, lesbian sex, and inter racial sex. I'm surprised there wasn't 2 gay guys as well just to be absolutely politically correct.. Purely used as titillation with nothing to do with the story and therefore left with an impression there would be no integrity to this film albeit a fourth instalment.All the characters are unbelievably obnoxious except one guy, and you can't wait for them to get killed off.The great thing about the other wrong turn's is that they were gruesome and gory, but always had a sense of humour regarding the gore and splatter. This chucks in the gore aspect but we have a rather nasty prolonged torture scene which crosses the line from fun gore and splatter to what was termed as torture porn. The inventive deaths, usually over quickly were watchable. This particular scene is just pretty nasty and unpleasant.The actors despite the negative reviews have a pretty impossible job. To be constantly in a state on set of being petrified I imagine is not easy, and it doesn't help when all the dialogue is contrived and wouldn't be said in these circumstances. They would all be mad from fear, incomprehensible wrecks just doing what they can to survive. Here, they are all too logical, coherent, and behaving remarkably well seeing as most of their party have been butchered, eaten and tortured right in front of their eyes. Even after they unknowingly stab to death one of their own, there's just a mid level panic. It's not their fault. It's bad screen writing and bad direction.As for the ending, nothing is clear. What happened to the cannibals? Who was the guy in the end in the truck? They didn't see brown wooden posts with barbed wire on an all white landscape? stupid ending going for laughs and shocks with no coherence.

I loved the first one. Eliza Dushku is a goddess. The second was a decent sequel. The third...went down hill real fast. And this one, the fourth one...the prequel, is sad. Real sad. It pretty much ignores the first one and rewrites the history of the three cannibal brothers. Instead of living in the woods, like the original, they now live in a sanitarium. And Three- Finger missing two of his fingers and One-Eye, well, missing one eye isn't because they're, you know, inbred mutants but because they were hungry and decided to eat those particular body parts. I don't like when movies rewrite history without a good reason, and there was no good reason in this films case. They took somebody's unrelated script and introduced the Wrong Turn cannibals into it. Not impressed. Also, the acting was horrible, the kills were horrible (blood spurting out looked fake, bad CGI fake), the makeup for the hillbillies was horrible (they should have never replaced Julian Richings), and the storyline (including the rewritten backstory for the cannibals) was horrible. In short, a really horrible film, but not the most horrible film I've ever seen so I gave it an 3/10.

The "Wrong Turn"-franchise may not bring many new ideas (even the first one was microwaved "Texas Chain Saw"), but I love how pretty much every installment delivers the goods. You just watch these movies to see irritating people dying horrible deaths, and this fourth entry is definitely no disappointment. What I love most about this movie is how it wallows in its own vast stupidity. My favorite dumb part is the part where a guy tries to save a girl from being hung by...pulling her legs? I'm pretty sure that only makes the situation worse. Splitting up from the group because you want to retrieve a weapon you've never used before, as it's probably useless? Makes perfect sense in this alternate reality. Saying you'll be fine if your friend leaves even though you'll be all alone, completely exposed, already wounded and with no way to defend yourself? Sure, it's important to have confidence. And the less said about the infamous scene with the burlap sack, the better.There's only one character with a vague idea of common sense, and he's mocked constantly and mercilessly. Oh really, you don't want to take a long trip in the freezing cold right before dark? Oh really, you don't want to sleep in that creepy abandoned hospital? Oh really, you don't want to split up from the group when there are three insane cannibals running around? What are you, a coward? Well no, he just has brain waves more active than a wine cellar. Kinda funny in a morbid way how this character gets the longest, most painful death. The one time the rest of the group (they still greatly outnumber the cannibals at this point) actually has a valid reason to go back, they basically just wait around until the screaming stops. They even have time to VOTE whether or not they go back while their friend is being cut into pieces. The fact that they easily corner the villains minutes later just makes it funnier (what's wrong with me?). And even though rednecks killing people is a trope that has been going on for decades, I really dig the design of these villains. Because of chintzy production values their appearance can differ between movies, but Three Finger, One Eye and Saw Tooth all have fun little trademarks. Every new "Wrong Turn" is like seeing your old friends again, doing away with yet another batch of people you never want to see in anything else. Once they encounter anybody remotely intelligent I'm pretty sure they're all toast, but until then their creative kills are pretty entertaining. The best one in part four: the fate of the guy that runs their asylum. He totally had it coming, sorta. Also great for a laugh: the magnificent ending scene, which I genuinely wasn't expecting. "Wrong Turn 4" is more of a comedy than a horror movie, but it caters to the fans of both genres.

The logic of the movie is very flawed: the hillbillies are smart enough to come up with a decoy and remove the spark plugs, though unable to speak. Seems legit, right? And I don't know about you, but it really annoyed me that the stupid girl decides to have mercy and not to burn them alive. This could have been the very ending...Oh, and that lock-picking skill is just over 9000: the unable-to-speak-hillbillies are just rattling the pins and BAM! "Sesame, open!". Also excessive gore does not make any point, even though it is a horror title: more mysteries and less murdered tomatoes. Overall it is so unrealistic and rather a commercial low-quality movie that I strongly recommend NOT to watch, as it will waste 93 precious minutes of your life watching some second-hand horror film.with hatred, everyone
