Wrong Turn

I was lucky enough to go to a screening for this film a day before its release. I've never been to a screening before, so it was a pretty interesting experience, especially since I really enjoyed the movie. Before I talk more about how I thought, let’s get to the story... A man passing through gets into a small accident with a group of five friends in a remote wooded area in West Virginia. They go for help only to discover a small isolated home in the woods, which they later learn is inhabited by a family of deformed cannibalistic inbreeds.

The plot isn't very original, but it wasn't really meant to be. The movie was obviously meant to play homage to other classic films from the 70's and 80's like The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I love those films, so naturally I was really into this movie. I'm glad there wasn't much promotion for the film, because it left more to the imagination. I also really liked how the inbreeds faces weren't really shown clearly, cuz that left more to the imagination. The movie had a good amount of gore that we don't see much now-a-days, because people are too afraid of the lame MPAA. There are some decent scares, but none of them really got to me. It also had a lot of tense moments that really kept you on edge.

I was into the movie from start to finish. I enjoyed every bit of it and although the ending was predictable, it was still pretty good. The film had it all - sweet death scenes, hot chicks, suspense, a deformed inbreed family; gotta love it. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a while, especially in theatres, and for that reason I give it an 8-rating.

OVERALL

Check this movie if you want to see a good horror flick that kicks the MPAA in the balls and plays homeage to classics with the same theme. Highly recommended.

you people must be on some serious drugs, this movie blew donkeys!! i love how all the people go missing in this area and no one can find any evidence why. hell if they flew over the house they could see all the missing cars and campers right in the back. this in my opinion is the worst kind of horror film. bad on all levels!!!!

i love this movie,i saw it in theaters and i own the dvd and i still love watching it,the plot was great,it gave you bits and pieces on the inbreeding deformities thru small clips in the beginning of the movie,missing people,docters archieves on inbredding all leading up to the slaughter of the young adults,who i thought were very worth watching,there was humor,sexual remarks,sadness felt by jesse in the deaths of her friends,grief by carly after seeing her new fiancee butchard,anger,rage,terror which these characters brought...well done.
the inbreed cannibles f...ing rocked...they were savages and brutal and intelligent hunters and ugly as hell...unlike the ones in the part version who were stupied looking and annoying to watch with all the giggling and crap...they didnt look anything like the 3 muntants in part 1 at all...part 2 sucked...i hope 3 will be better?????????
the kills in this first one was bad a-- my two fav 's was carlys death and francine,those girls got messed up bad...i loved how they did the whole close up on carlys eyes as her face was sliced in half and her pupils shrunk and you could see the lower part of her body falling...that rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all in all i love this movie,its def a 10 n my book.

I think that this movie Rocks. Those people who say that this movie is like The Hills Have Eyes or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are so unrealistic. I think they got the ideas from those movies but they didn't copy them. If you haven't seen this movie you should really watch it. You'll Love It. and one more thing...SOPHIA BUSH ROCKS !!

Brilliant film, a great homage to TCM and The Hills Have Eyes with kickass gore and killers the only thing which ruins it, is those stupid stunts when they jump out of the tree house onto the trees etc

This movie is horrible and predictable, with bad acting everywhere. Hillbillies have been done to death, and done way better than this piece. Just because we are horror fans doesn't mean we have to settle for crap like this.

NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is scarier than a inbred redneck hillbilly!

One of the better movies to come out since 2000. I enjoyed it very much, and I loved Eliza Dushku's character.

For some time(but I don't exactly know how), I've loved gritty, gory survival movies with deformed freaks, like this film and The Hills Have Eyes. Good stuff, especiall in a remote forest or a desert.
