Wrong Turn

To me this is the only Wrong Turn movie that is deemed watchable. I love how brutal it is right into the beginning and keeps you reeled in all the way through. The location is perfect and the acting was well done. I don't understand why critics underrated it, because it has been one of the better movies I have seen in this genre.

Une version navet de Délivrance même s'il est certainement injuste de les comparer directement... d'abord parce qu'ici, ça se passe sur la terre ferme et ensuite parce qu'il faudrait plutôt le mettre en parallèle des "Collines (qui ont) des "yeux" et là, Détour Mortel s'en tire plutôt honorablement ! Evidemment, le scénario fait dans la facilité et les comédiens sont assez à la masse, pour ne pas dire plus... Mais les donzelles ont armé leurs wonderbras et **** débardeurs et poussent des cris d'orfraie qui font volontiers ricaner ; elles font office ma foi d'une bien belle chair à canon... ou plutôt de viande à hâcher pour nos ploucs dégénérés consanguins de la forêt. C'est donc souvent drôle et un tantinet gore tout de même (miam), et puis on ne s'ennuie décidément pas, car le film a su rester court et va droit toujours droit à l'essentiel. Enfin, la réalisation est dans l'ensemble très correcte.

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.

Teens break down in the woods inhabited by inbred cannibalistic rednecks and get knocked off one-by-one, love Eliza Dushku but this film was below her.

Yet another generic white-trash slasher flick from the early 2000's- Wrong Turn proves to be nothing short of a Texas Chainsaw rip off- except with slightly more plot and far less style. It's easy to say I did not enjoy watching this movie. I try to keep an open mind on horror films in general, as many can be quite panned for silly reasons, but honestly I think this one deserves far more crap than it receives. The only good thing I can say about this film is that lead actor and Dexter star Desmond Harrington tries his best in his role. His lines can be written horribly and his character quite generic, but he does truly try throughout the film despite his inescapable character flaws- and is easily the best actor in the films entirety. The other actors vary from being the stereotypical horror cast members and characters we always see, to being annoying little turds that truly just got lucky to be in a film at all. So much of this film is just tedious nonsense, that it was honestly quite hard to sit through. The dialogue is repetitive, each scene is one stupid game of cat and mouse after the next, and none of it is interesting. The cinematography is done incredibly poorly, the look of the film as bland as can be, and the story is almost non-existent. None of it is frightening, very very little of it is amusing, and it's honestly a dud all the way through. It may not be the worst horror movie i've seen, but it is up there.
