Decent movie. The acting was really good, I liked the characters. There really were no moments that I thought "wow this movie is crazy" and none of the kills were really all that gory. It might also be the fact that a deformed family from the wilderness isnt all that original and im kinda tired of it. But Wrong Turn was a good movie but not amazing
Very creepy film about a mongoloid family in the woods that go out and kill people for food. Very dark film. The kills were good and the gore was plentiful. Pretty good flick.

A decent film yet nothing special. I basically got exactly what I expected.
Wrong Turn is a modern horror, that has a hint of classic in it's name. It's a basic, American slash and hack movie, but is actually enjoyable. Wrong Turn doesn't try enough to make us want more, though. The horror is there, but what is of it isn't really scary at all. I admit, the gore in the movie is pretty cool, but there isn't enough to keep this movie up there with movies like The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacure. But the acting, especially from the main characters, are really top notch. The thing is, there is nothing here tat a horrror hasn't done before. Man runs in forest, killers kill him. Woman and other man hide, they try to kill them. It's a reapitive process, but still doesn't make you board or tired, because it has that constant pace of action.
Wrong Turn is worth a watch, but don't expect a great movie here. It has it's moments, and some of the gore is great, but nothing here is worth buying.
I really don't see what the mass appeal is with this film. It's not gory, it's not suspenseful and it hardly qualifies as thrilling.
It's pretty streamlined as far as Hollywood horror films are concerned. No surprises, no twists. Just familiar territory. The movie treads lightly on a safe path.
Even though we've seen this kind of thing a million times before this is still a fun and nasty film thanks to the 3 talented leads,horrifying villians and disgusting very well thought out kills. The plot is simple but it's all played effectively and it doesn't waste any time jumping into the action. Good make up effects,blood,gore and a cast who can actually act make this 70's throw back a winner.
this movie was awesome. the make up effects were terrific, the acting was good, the setting, the plot, everything was good. the deaths were creative and the gore was well delivered. the movie actually scared the hell outta me when it first came out, not so much anymore, but it's still a great film. check it out one night if you're bored
Wrong Turn was a great movie and i cant wait to see the third 1!i love horror movies but this 1 was just the best idea and best movie i have seen!when the third 1 comes out i will so see it in theaters! and if this was a true story i would so visit those woods!
reall liked this movie it totally kept me on the edge, ive seen it a bunch of times and like it just as much as the first time. oh, and all the girls are sexy as hell, it sucks that red head died early, her and eliza were really hot, i likee the red head alittle more though, shes just my type (face and body dont necessarily like red heads) Good movie!
One of my favorite slasher's with a simple story line but awesome character development! Especially with the four leads.You learn a lot about them which is unusal in this slasher series.But you end up caring for them and wether they live or die.Unfortunately two that stole the show do get it.And its almost sad! Eliza as always is great as the heroin and sexy as hell! The killer's are great looking.Better than hills have eyes mutants to me.All in all a great fun slasher flick from beginning to end! With loads of thrills!
This not the greatest movie of all time, but I watched it last night for the first time in years. I've been on a Dollhouse kick and apparently didn't have my Eliza fix done yet.
I think the movie got unfairly knocked by a lot of people. It's a straight homage to 70s horror. At the time it came out it was the height of the "ironic" horror movie a la Scream so it was refreshing to get a straight horror movie. Which is what this is.
It's a simple straightforward plot about backwoods psychotics. Okay, I don't think that's bad. Characters are cliche, well, yea but who cares? Who watches a movie like this for character development? Most of us watch it for good kills and hot chicks running (in the case in the woods). Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect it to be more than it is.
It's an entertaining way to spend two hours when you don't want to think. That's not a bad thing in the slightest.
West Virginia and camping. Not a very good mix. And it was proven. This film was demented and disturbing from the beginning all the way to the end. Many people I know look at the cover, look at Eliza Dushku, and just immediately knock the film. Well, they are missing out because this film was maniaclly fun as hell. I especially loved the scene in the watchtower and the trees because that is where the best action is at. I would definitely recommend this movie for a The Hills Have Eyes fan who has not seen this film.
A friend recommended this one to me. I really enjoyed it. It definately has the old-school vibe of 70's/ 80's horror. It's simplicity is the key in my opinion. Anything Stan Winston is pure gold (RIP). Spielberg said it best, "often the best ideas are the simplest ones". Not to mention that Emanuelle Chriqui is hotter than the planet Mustafar!!!
The plot was original and entertaining. Stan Winston was the best at what he did and this movie is no acception. After this movie I was a little scaried to go though those little towns down south

This movie is kickass! Group of people have a car crash, they are hunted down by hillbillies and killed off one by one. Simple storyline, great execution and serves up some wicked entertainment. The acting was really, really good some of the best actors I have seen in a horror movie. The emotions that the actors displayed felt real and their different reactions to certain situations was realistic. This movie was probably one of the most tense and edge of your seat movies I have seen in a long, long time. The atmosphere was great and the hillbillies looked as creepy as fuck. There was lots of gory deaths in this movie which I was expecting when I read the storyline. The scene where the girl is in the treetops and she gets an axe in the mouth looked awesome. The makeup done on the hillbillies was just brilliant and very proffesional. I was freaking out and shitting myself when the hillbillies lit the treehouse watch post on fire that the people were hiding in. The ending was awesome it was the icing on the hugely awesome horror cake. Overall this movie was fucking awesome! One of my favourite hillbilly movies next to the hills have eyes which was also a bloody awesome thrill ride. I give wrong turn a well deserving 10/10

Been thinking about this one lately, I think I'm in the mood to watch it again. It's a nice, simple storyline that's just wildly entertaining.

I believe this was a very good movie. THe plot however many cliches' it has is still very effective. It manages to put the view in an environment of solitude and fear.

I seriously do love this movie, as much as I hate to admit it. A fun time and very suspenseful

I LOVE this movie! For me it's probably because it follows the old school rules: If you do drugs you die, if you have sex, you die! LOL. I never get tired of watching this one. It has all the ear marks of a classic horror movie for me!
I rented this movie with absolutely no prior knowledge of it's existence, what the plot was, who was starring in it...nothing. In hindsight, having no expectations was the best way to see this film. A genuine throwback to old-school horror, and the half-retarded hillbilly/cannibal sub-genre, Wrong Turn surprised me with the violence and gore.
Finding out later that Stan Winston produced it made sense to me because the antagonists' makeup was very effective.....as well as the bloody limbs. I loved this movie and told my friend all about it. He watched it for himself and hated it. The point is I think this movie plays better for the ill-prepared viewer. It is still one of my favorite horror films of the last 10 years...and it's not a remake.

LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!! I still enjoy this movie ITS THE BOMB
I seen this when it first came out in the theater and really enjoyed it. Just picked up the DVD on Sunday at BestBuy for $7.99 and also Wrong Turn 2: Dead End for $9.99! Pretty good deal for brand new disc's. Not the greatest film ever, but very enjoyable to watch. Wrong Turn 2 is very good also for being a direct to DVD film, great follow up to the original.
This movie WORKS on many levels. Good actors, a solid storyline that doesn't drag, great make-up and visual affects, and fast paced directing make this movie a must see for the serious horror fan. Wrong Turn is a great throwback to the classic horror movies of the 70's and 80's, with the an excellent production budget which a lot of the older classics simply could not afford to have.
Wrong Turn did not disappoint this reviewer, and I really think it's too easy to compare this movie to "Deliverance", as other reviewers have. Regardless, I would rather watch these guys chase Eliza Dushku through the woods and up the trees any day than to watch Ned Beatty squeal like a pig! :-) Wrong turn is a truly scary and very creepy horror film. I get the "willies" every time I watch it! You really want these characters to make it out alive. Dushku is fantastic in her role as the strong female survivor. She plays it with everything she's got and it shows! The scene in which she is taken back to the cabin and tied to the bed.....well, it's a great piece of acting just as good as any of our beloved scream queens from years past.
The rest of the cast also delivers consistently throughout the film. All in all this is a great film and a class apart from what has been released to us horror fans in the last few years. I enjoyed it tremendously, and would recommend this movie to anyone who is a horror film fan!!

similar to delieverance and the hills have eyes, wrong turn brings back the mutant hillbilly killer sub genre which was empty for a while, this film isnt that original, but it was fun to watch as a horror film, stan winston produced this film which could have added to the quality of the overall product it ended up being. gruesome deaths and some intense moments make the film definatly worth watching at least once

Stupid stupid characters... They don't make a single intelligent decision in the course of the entire movie, making it impossible to care when they die. I thought this movie was garbage... Check out Wrong Turn 2 instead.

Good movie. All I have to really say is two words to sum why I love this movie. Tree Chase.
This is my favourite movie of all time. Francine dying is my pic. I love the originality and how it focused on the plot as well as not just the gore. I love this movie so much and i can watch it over and over
Wasnt expecting much from this movie and it turned out to be very good. I was cheering for the people to live. I loved the part where the cannibals trapped the 3 survivors in a watchtower and set it on fire and they had to jump out the window and land on the trees. that would have terrified me to death if that had happened to me. This movie had a very good story, good actors and left me cheering for more. so i am off to rent the sequel.
This was nothing more than homage to cheese-horror films of the 60’s and 70’s. On a light note, it makes horror really fun and pretty much family-friendly. (There is no more blood in this movie than Lord of the Rings.) On a more harsh note, it’s also the reason so many people think horror is a unintelligent cheesetastic genre when what we need is more true horror, punk-gore, original works over another movie that takes The Hills Have Eyes and makes it cute and trite.
I guess this is the sort of movie that you could watch with some friends and smile at the kills. If you’re looking for anything deeper than that, look elsewhere. For a more original and mature movie that follows this fun formula without stepping into the cute territory, check out Wolf Creek.
I understand the well-scored reviews. They’re right. But DO NOT expect a gory mature movie like I did. It’s best just to wait for this to play on TV around Halloween and watch it with your kids.
Pretty good. To be honest, I only watched it for my favorite actress, Eliza Dushku, but the movie turned out to be pretty good, not the best, but not the worst either.
Completely great. Acting, gore, direction and creature make-up are top notch. This movie does not get as much recognition as it deserves, and is easily one of the best horror flicks to come out of the post-Scream era.
I'll never understand people who liked this film. This was a half-assed remake of 'The Hills Have Eyes' before the half-assed remake of 'The Hills Have Eyes'. Our villains here are a bunch of mutant cannibal muppets straight out of the worst-conceived F/X department in Hollywoodland. Not a single likeable character. Devoid of any real scares/tension/plot. I couldn't wait for this one to end, which inevitably meant the movie dragged on forever. Christ, this was a bad movie. Eliza Dushku looks like she has Down's Syndrome.

Wrong turn got seriously overshadowed by Cabin Fever, and I really don't get why. So much gore and so much fun, I just wish it got the attention it really deserved.
