Review of Wrong Turn (2003) by Steven Y — 16 Oct 2009
WRONG TURN is a TERRIBLE flick. Really bad. It tries to be this TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE kind of horror film but fails are every lame attempt. There's no story. Cute young people end up stranded in a middle of a forest where deformed inbred killers live.
The killers looks ridiculous. They belong more in Ridley Scott's LEGEND than in a backwoods slasher! The characters of the victims are annoying. None of the actors can act, including Eliza Dushku.
The characters behave in really stupid ways. When the group ends up in the killers house, it takes them forever to figure out that they shouldn't be there. The film is filled with an amazing amount of clichés.
For instance, at the beginning, when we see the two rock climbers. The man is quickly killed off screen but the attack on the woman climber is drawn-out and violent. The film is only that: women attacked in violent ways while the men are killed off screen or killed in not so graphic ways.
But the thing that sinks this turkey is the whole scene where we see three of the young folks walk about in those HUGE trees. I never laughed so much. It is, by far, THE MOST LUDICROUS scene ever conceived in the history of cinema.
I've never witnessed anything so stupid, and I've seen a lot of bad movies.
