Review of Wrong Turn (2003) by Jason J — 25 Aug 2010

After a car accident leaves 6 young people stranded in the middle of nowhere, they go and try to find some help but they didn't count upon coming across a family of freaky cannibal hillbillies who are hunting them down. Will any of them get out of this situation alive?

This brilliant little slasher film starring Eliza Dushku harps back to such classics of the backwoods slasher genre as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes. This film is particularly gory and for this reason, gorehounds will not be disappointed. The production standards are very high in general as is the acting of the whole cast. Dushku is fantastic in her role as the strong female survivor. She plays it with everything she's got and it shows. A must see for any horror fan and anyone who enjoys a well-made and atmospheric film.
