Review of Wrong Turn (2003) by Doctor S — 21 Dec 2014
Lean and mean, this Texas Chainsaw/Hills Have Eyes tale of terror takes place in the wild forests of West Virgina. Dispenses with almost any backstory for our characters - only an upcoming wedding is discussed with any detail - and our inbred villains have even less information.
It is really only interested in the horror factor and delivers on that goal with some good scares and stretches of sustained white-knuckle peril with a siege on a forest ranger's tower a standout set-piece.
Leads Desmond Harrington and Eliza Dushku form a good survival team and behave with a measure of brains. Popular enough to have spawned a mini franchise of five sequels, and counting!
