Tenika Davis Despite the previous sequel being a waste of time, FOX decided to move forward with another installment in the franchise; even giving previous director Declan O'Brien another shot at it. Since all the key members of infamous inbred family have been killed off, they decided to make the fourth addition a prequel, giving the filmmakers an
excellent excuse to bring back the beloved "Three Finger", "One Eye" and "Saw-Tooth." Although Bloody Beginnings is a surprising improvement over the third, it's still far from a good movie.The film starts off in the past, where we're shown young versions of the lead cannibals (Three Finger, etc..) locked up in a sanatorium. Naturally they escape their cell, release their fellow inmates, and kill off the surviving staff. Fast-forward to 2003 and we're introduced to our new set
of potential victims, who are your standard group of friends and couples. Mimicking Norway's slasher Cold Prey, the group attempt to snowmobile their way to a secluded cabin, and end up making a "wrong turn," leaving them lost and forced to seek shelter from the approaching winter storm at a nearby abandoned building, which just so happens to be the seemingly vacant sanatorium.I'm not sure if the film received a bigger budget than the previous effort, but it definitely has the appearance of looking more cleaned up and professionally shot, where-as the third just
looked cheap and half-assed in every aspect. Another noticeable improvement are the effects, namely the make-up and practical effects used for the deaths. The filmmakers obviously tried to amp up the gore this time 'round; giving us a nice collection of severed heads and ripped limbs. Though, for whatever reason they decided to use CGI for one particular death that just ended up looking really bad.I was hoping to have a bit more back-story on the cannibals, but aside from a quick introduction of who they are and why they're in there, we're not given anything else. Aside from some of the excess nudity and gore, the flick offers little else in redeeming values. The script is as basic as you can get, delivering horrible dialogue, uninteresting characters and as much predictability as you'd expect from a movie like this.
Bloody Beginnings is a minor improvement over the previous effort, but still not enough to remove the bad taste part three left in our mouths. Aside from some of the gore and excess nudity, there's really nothing else worth noting about this bland installment in the Wrong Turn franchise.

The first Wrong Turn Brilliant. Second Wrong turn was average with more gore then the 1st one, but it lacked the strong character dialogue. Third one Wow this one by far the worse Wrong Turn with crappy CGI and make up, character sucked. 4th one a way better improvement then the third one but still wasn't as good as the first two.. However this is by far the Goriest one!
Just finished watching this and i f***in loved it!! i LOVE mindless slasher flicks (not the absolutely terrible ones but but the mediocre by-the-books slasher flicks chiches and all) they're just so fun. you're given the cast of "collage kids" that you never really give a s**t about, the killer, killers, or monster that you might as well root for, and the maybe one if you're lucky two somewhat redeeming characters into whose shoes you find your point of view directed. (pardon my incomprehensibility I'm still stoned from watching this flick)
in this i had some fun trying to figure out if any of the characters were smart enough to survive a prequel.
) I went into the 4th with very low expectations and had soo much fun with it! it made me crack the f*** up, cringe, yell at the stupid characters ("come on guys we have to run faster!" {all 3 trip at the same time} ) and kept my stoned A.D.D havin attention span with a decent pace, and some bloody splat on the camera gore (except for the one bad cgi kill of my least fav character)
so this slasher is the fourth installment of a series I've only ever found OK at best (loved the first cliches and all, and loved parts of the second ie: Henry Rollins and the chick from Blairwich2 and TCM remake and some of the deaths and downright disturbing imagery involving incest, but the 3rd SUCKED in every way imaginable!! I WANTED TO KILL THOSE F***ING CHARACTERS MYSELF!
this did remind me a bit of the cold prey prequel. none of the "collage kids" were exceptionally likable, and you're basically just rooting for the killer Friday the 13th style. but like cold prey 123 this was definitely an above average effort made for fans who are tired of boring irredeemable slashers. PROPS director of the terrible 3rd to at least make it up to us with the 4th!
Ok well I just watched this and I thought it was really good, deffinetly better than the third and a perfect addtion to the Wrong Turn series and personally I wouldn't mind if a fifth was made.
I think that as an audience we have come to ask so many things from a movie that is supposed to be just gory fun. Personally, I found it OK, not the best horror movie ever but still it didn't deserve 5/10.
Not every movie can be like the first Saw, or Se7en and, to be honest, when was the Wrong Turn franchise something more than an average gorefest?
Gore was pretty good but the the characters and their dialogue were awful, especially a certain decision one of the female leads makes and everyone agreed.
I know that girl got everyone killed.. LOL...
I'll be getting this tomorrow so I will put my thoughts on it then
. Does anyone else feel this series needs a good thearetical re-boot?
Yes I agree i hope this gets rebooted and Alexander aja or Neil Marshell should direct it..
Yep.
