Wrong Turn (DVD, 2003, Dual Side; Lenticular)

I really enjoyed this movie. Many horror movies made nowadays are crappy, but this is not one of them.

The movie starts out with Chris (Desmond Harrington), who is late for an interview. He needs to take a shortcut since there was a highway accident. He finds a shortcut through a dirt road and ends up hitting a car. No one was injured, but both cars are totalled. Two of the teens stay behind, while the other four decide to walk down the road to see if they can find a house with a phone. They manage to find a cabin, but soon find out that they are in danger when they find strange things around the house, and finally find body parts. The inhabitants of the cabin come back before the four teens can leave the house. So they have to hide. The teens are able to leave after the inhabitants fall asleep, but one awakens and they begin hunting the teens through the woods.

The reason for the rated R rating is because of the amount of gore that you see in it.

The acting in this movie is great, they really picked some great actors and actresses. Among them are: Eliza Dushku, Desmond Harrington, and Kevin Zegers.

If you are itching for a good horror movie, then check this one out!

One jerk said this review was not helpful because I compared it with Hills have eyes and did not give credit to the orig 'hills have eyes' of 20 years ago. GIVE ME A BREAK! OK, with that past us, here's my take on a great movie "Wrong TURN':

I have become lenient with thrillers in the last decade. A good one is truly hard to write. This movie gets a '4/5 Good' rating. The story was good and the cast and acting excellant. And it was done without graphic sex scenes (usually never necessary,and unrelated to the film but needed as a demand to a film for filler purposes for under achieving horrors)This movie was NOT under achieving! It won't win awards but will please the 'Thriller / horror' fan as it stands out and above so many 'clunkers' that have come out in the last 2 years. A sequil to this would be most interesting and probably would make money but like so many other sequils, it might fall short of the first film. Only Saw 1 and Saw 2 so far have successfully accomplished this feat. Wrong Turn has a fighting chance to join and rank in this catergory If they do it RIGHT. Sequil probably WILL need a sex scene! Seeing 'Dushku' in the buff with her hero from the first film wouldn't be so terrible anyway! Fast , exciting and scary (without providing spoilers!) GO SEE THE FILM / BUY IT!! (-:

As improbable as this story is, it is one of the better ones along this story line.
Teens take a short cut, crazy cannibalistic family in the woods etc.etc.
Of course it does help that Eliza Dushku (Buffy, the vampire slayer)is the star of this flick.....If you like this type of movie it is a must see.....BIG_KAHUNA

I liked Wrong Turn enough after renting it to go out and buy it. For what it is a Horror/Thriller it was better then I've come to expect from these movies in general. Now while it does follow the same story outline as do most of these movies, it doesn't try to go for that shock effect, it stays in it story line from start to finish and that was a refreshing change. If you like movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre you will like this movie. If you like Cabin Fever you will love this movie, cause Cabin Fever sucked and Wrong Turn doesn't.

I love this movie and all the stars in this film. The place is very cool and takes place in the woods where no one can hear you scream! The characters who are the killers are playing their character cool! And the people like Elisha Dashku look real hot and sexy along with the other feamle stars. I give this movie a A+ performance and a must see film.
