    Situation goes from just a little scary to terrifying.

    The result is sheer, unadulterated nastiness with no apologies.

    Lazy would-be horror film.

    The film does, in the end, raise something of an existential dilemma: If you set out to make a new version of something you know to be bad, and you make something that is in fact bad, have you somehow succeeded?

    This movie by far the best horror of the year keeps you on your edge of the seat from the begining. anyone who doesn't rate this well needs to really watch this movie again. cant wait for part 2. Expand
  2. Better then the so-called American Classic Horror movie "Psycho". Wrong Turn so far has 5 films this is the best. I mean every one is acted perfectlly, bloody it was definintly. Watch it. Expand

    Stereotypical characters encounter problems with backcountry folk. Picture Deliverance involving a trio of redneck Hannibal Lecters terrorizing horny teens. Lots of fright without the distraction of intelligent content. And, oh yes, death. Lots of death. Gets 3 points for unpretentiousness. Expand
  4. Solid acting by the cast, The entire film was interesting but its sadly just another rip off of another classic horror film and it does nothing to seperate itself from it besides a change in environment Expand
