Wrong Turn

I have a feeling that this movie will be considered a classic horror film in a few years. It’s an instant classic for me. Criminally underrated.

I unashamedly loved this movie. What an unexpected great horror film for 2021. The shots, maybe they're not that amazing, but everything is so clear and beautiful with incredible scenery of the Appalachian trails in the USA. And ON SCREEN deaths. WOW. Amazing deaths. Just so gory. Wow.

Jen is seeking herself and as a last hurrah before she decides what she wants to do, her boyfriend and 4 others (couple Gary(?) And Luis, and 2nd couple Adam and Mila) go to hike the Appalachian trails together. However, the group runs into trouble when Darius decides to go off the trail, ignoring warnings from locals, to end up pursued by a mysterious group of mountain dwellers.

This story does not hesitate to drag our characters down into the true depths of their psyche. Unfortunately some of the most interesting characters are thrown away within minutes of the action starting. I wish there had been more development given to the characters, especially outside of the main duo, but I still really liked where the movie went. I had so much fun watching this and learning about the mountain dwellers. I did like the diversity in the casting and the story behind the mountain dwellers.

This story could have gone down the stereotypical route its predecessor did, and I'm so glad it didnt. There were times when the film felt long and then where the action was quick and tight and we had only 30 minutes left. I liked the musical cues for the mountain people. I also loved the end credit song. I could watch this again.

I also want to note how the trap that Jen finds herself in is meant to be bad but it was totally a daddy scenario I'm just saying...

It‘s a good movie. Thrilling from beginning to the very end. But in my opinion it has nothing to do with the original Wrong Turn Series. Yes I know it‘s a reboot and it‘s still about a strange community living isolated from the rest of the world somewhere in the forest, or espacially in this case on a mountain, that doesn‘t cringe from using brutal violence to keep strangers away. But I‘m really missing these hideous creepy gory incest family and their distusting and I think also very creative (and ‚funny‘) ways to kill people. 
Though it‘s a good movie with some socially critical aspects and definitely worth a watch.

I'm actually shocked how not completely horrible this was. I didn't have much hope going into it, expected another woke filled watered down remake but what I got was a nice horror movie with good kills and a strong "final" girl. I feel like them using Wrong Turn title is wrong but it's really not a big deal. It's the second best movie with Wrong Turn in it's title, I can say that much. Originally was going to give this a 7 but I'm feeling really good about bumping it to an 8.

Also one of the best endings in a revenge drivem horror movie? Straight up murders them all.

Decent film. Ignore the negs.

Far better than it has any right to be. Fantastic traps/gore. Genre fans won't want to miss this gem. 7.5

NOT a wrong turn movie, but I liked it good! It was fun to watch and intriguing... at times I thought it was going to be silly from there and after but no, it kept my interest until the end.

If you've seen the trailer, then you've probably figured this out already. It's worth mentioning at the top though, that you shouldn't go into this expecting a campy horror film featuring superhuman inbreeds like the original. Instead this loosely borrows the premise from the first film and delivers something with a more serious tone, believable threat and less formulaic story. I can understand if some fans are disappointed by this, but I think it's much better for it.

I liked the first Wrong Turn movie and only watched 1 of the many sequels and didn't like it. This movie could have been called something different because its kind of its own thing completely. If you can get through the first 20 minutes of the main characters beating the audience over the head with how progressive they all are, it actually turns out to be a pretty good movie. It makes you think the bad guys are just going to be cliché southern racists but then it quickly takes a turn into uncharted territory. The movie keeps you on your toes all the way up to the end credits and even after the credits start rolling. Definitely worth a watch.

I was hesitant going into this. Don't get me wrong, I love the original Wrong Turn and I enjoyed most of the sequels but I have to admit that they got too far from the suspenseful horror of the first one and it just wasn't as enjoyable anymore. I was glad to see this one return to it's horror roots and away from the horror comedy route.

This one is full of little twists and turns and fun moments for horror fans. It manages to include several horror sub-genres in small ways where they worked and fit without being forced. The killers were sufficiently creepy, the kills were realistic and delightfully gruesome without feeling campy or hokey and the overall tone was suspenseful.

I will admit, a few moments almost took me out of it but I was pulled right back in each time. What pulled me out was minor and was almost immediately remedied. For example [spoiler] the ending where Jen leaves to go back didn't sit right with me but as the credits rolled and it showed her killing them and leaving them felt like a more fitting end for her[/spoiler] .

Overall, I would possibly put this on par with the first Wrong Turn.
