Critic Reviews

Dallas Observer - Luke Y. Thompson

Horror fans will have a blast, though it's unlikely anyone else will be won over. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh

The result is sheer, unadulterated nastiness with no apologies. Read full review

Chicago Tribune - Kevin M. Williams

The sole saving grace of Wrong Turn is its honesty. You get exactly what you expect -- blood, guts and people being taken to the killing floor. But just because it's honest doesn't make it good. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps

Lacks the creepiness and craft of the films that inspired it. Read full review

The New York Times - Anita Gates

Lazy would-be horror film. Read full review

Boston Globe - Wesley Morris

As perfectly bad horror movies go, Wrong Turn is something new: a gore-splattered workout flick. Read full review

New York Post - Lou Lumenick

Low-end schlock that will likely land with a dull thud in the video remainder bin before the frost is on the pumpkin. Read full review

Scary and fun at the same time. You'll be riveted watching this. Just know, like me, you will be terrified of West Virginia after watching this. The acting was good, not the best, but the main characters did great. The cannibals were freaky. The movie is like so so so creepy. I recommend :)

A group of likable young adults get on the wrong side of three 'mountain men' who are truly terrifying! It's quite graphic and violent but still quite tame compared to what's coming out these days. Dushku does a great job as our leading lady, with Harrington also doing well as Chris. Overall a fantastic Horror film well worth a look!… Expand

Good gore effects and a good creepy atmosphere. Easily the best of the franchise.

Wrong Turn is nothing special with all honesty, you have seen it all before. But it pays homage to the 90's horror movies which makes it very fun to watch.

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.

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
