Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 20% of five surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 5.2/10.[5] Steve Barton of Dread Central rated it 2.5/5 stars and called it "the Congo of slasher movies", an objectively bad film that is still enjoyable to watch.[6] Anton Bitel of Little White Lies wrote that although the film delivers what fans want, the characters are interchangeable and the plot is derivative.[7] William Bibbiani of CraveOnline rated it 7.5/10 and wrote, "Wrong Turn 4 is the kind of movie that knows exactly what it is and offers nothing less, and occasionally a little more."[8] Charles Webb of Twitch Film wrote, "There's not much to recommend the latest entry in this franchise, which, like all long-running horror series has already reached its point of diminishing returns."[9]
Wrong Turn is a fun and baffling approach to ACAAN that adds a kicker ending your spectators will never see coming! While most effects in this plot are telegraphed, this surprising twist strengthens the climax of the effect, further engaging your audience, while delivering even greater impact!
A deck of cards is displayed as the performer mentions he made a prediction in the deck. The spectator cuts to a card, remembers it, then returns it anywhere in the deck. The participant
then thoroughly shuffles the cards so their selection is genuinely lost in the deck. Any number from 1 to 52 is then named and the cards are dealt to that position. When the wrong card is
found at the named number, the prediction comes full circle and the kicker ending ties it all together!
A group of six young people find themselves stranded in the mountains of West Virginia. When four members of the group leave to find either help or a phone they stumble upon a cabin that at first appears to be deserted. But what they find in the cabin proves that it is actually inhabited and not the place they want to be when the owners return home. Just as they are making their exit, a truck pulls to the front of the house and three inbred mountain men enter the house carrying the dead, butchered bodies of their friends with them.
What Works:
Judging from my other reviews, you would not think that horror films would be my thing, especially very gory ones. Actually aim to have a diverse taste in film, so seeing films from all decades and genres with no bias intended. Plus have seen my fair share of horror franchises where at least one film has been good.
Found myself surprisingly enjoying 'Wrong Turn' when slowly working my way through the films. Despite the mixed to negative critical reception, to me flaws and all it is the best of the 'Wrong Turn' films by quite some way, was less impressed with the sequels. It doesn't get everything completely right, but it is a long way from a wrong turn and is instead a worthwhile one.
'Wrong Turn' is in terms of story simplistic and derivative admittedly. It also has thinly sketched characters, cheesy dialogue and a run-out-of-ideas ending. A longer length would definitely have helped, there were times where the film's duration felt too brief. So those are reasons enough to dislike the film and consider it bad.
However, quite a lot is done right in 'Wrong Turn' as well. It has a slick and atmospheric visual look and has a wonderfully mysterious and creepy setting. The make-up is also well done. One of 'Wrong Turn's' biggest stars is the special effects, which send a chill down the spine in how realistically horrifying they are.
The music score is suitably eerie and Rob Schmidt adeptly pays tribute to 1970s exploitation cinema. While the story may not be perfect in how it's executed, it really does deliver on the creepy mood, the gruesome shocks and also the fun. There is a lot of gore here but mostly it is not used in a cheap way, there are times where it is not needed but generally the mood isn't compromised.
Despite the lack of development for the characters, the acting is not bad at all. Desmond Harrington, Eliza Dushku and Emmanuelle Chriqui in fact give pretty ballsy performances.
In conclusion, worthwhile. 6/10 Bethany Cox
Retired military commander Colonel Dale Murphy hosts the simulated post-apocalyptic reality show where participants are challenged to survive a remote West Virginia wasteland. But the show turns into a nightmarish showdown when each realizes they are being hunted by an inbred family of cannibals determined to make them all dinner!
It's been a few years since I saw the original WRONG TURN and it's a film I don't remember much about: it was okay, middling in fact, entertaining in places and completely derivative. Its sequel is a different beast entirely, as the filmmakers do away with any attempts at menace in favour of making an all-out gore fest. Indeed, WRONG TURN 2 is one of the goriest movies I've seen in recent years, a film packed full of brutal and grotesque deaths, all brought to life by the latest extreme special effects. From the opening kill, in which a woman is split in half with an axe, you know exactly what you're in for with this one.
I admit to a certain fondness for these psychos-in-the-woods type films, even if the genre has been definitely overpopulated in recent years (SHROOMS, SEVERANCE, WILDERNESS, MANHUNT, EDEN LAKE and in particular BACKWOODS, which copies this film no end). The scripts are never up to much, but I love woodland scenery and it's easy to direct decent chase scenes when your characters are running through the trees or hiding out in the bushes. Here, the villains are a group of mutant redneck types, and the main characters are involved in some kind of reality TV series which quickly turns deadly. The characters are a mix of jocks and bimbos, all of them clichéd in the extreme, although kudos to the scriptwriter for not killing off the black guy first like in most of these. The only person of interest is Henry Rollins as the tough instructor who becomes a Rambo-like hero figure in the second half.
All of the female cast members are good looking and the producers convince one starlet to strip off midway through for a lakeside sex scene, but for the most part the emphasis is on the gore and you end up waiting for the next death. People are shot with arrows, get axes through their heads, are slashed with machetes and a meat grinder is involved in the final few scenes so expect blood and entrails to be liberally sprayed around. It may not be high art, but this straight-to-video effort knows what it is: a gory, sometimes fun B-movie that manages to entertain despite the many flaws.
One day my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 turned off, and I tried holding down the power and volume buttons. It said it needed to download a custom OS or press down on the volume button for restart. Every time I go to restart it just stays at the "Samsung" screen and when I go to download, it will just stay on the screen of the Android character. It says it's downloading, but it will just stay like that until it turns off. Please help.
@TripleABateries It shouldn't. My USB port died months ago but I have 2 Samsung batteries for my phone so I've been getting by having 1 battery charging in a battery charger plugged into the wall while I have the other in my phone. When the phone is close to dying I turn it off and put the charged battery in. Never lose anything, phone doesn't notice. (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Express Prime 3)
