Every now and then there’s a horror movie that proves reboots aren’t an inherently craven concept. (I happen to think that the recent “Child’s Play” and “The Grudge” movies fit that description.) “Wrong Turn,” directed by Mike P. Nelson and written by Alan McElroy (of 2003’s “Wrong Turn”) is such a gem. And it’s not just worthwhile compared to that Eliza Dushku-starring hicksploitation film, which equaled the artistry of a pancake. For my fellow skeptics, let me make it clear: gone are the West Virginian inbred cannibals and their hoard of corpse meat and car keys; the same goes for the dull predator vs. prey dynamic that dominated the first “Wrong Turn” (and inspired five sequels). The culture clash between "goddamn hipster freaks" and people of the woods is more complicated here, and how it unfolds is brutal and shocking without being depraved. 

This is a remake that has clearly moved on from the original and now wants to be graded on its brains instead of its brawn—for the dialogue it adds to the tension between two civilizations, especially as McElroy evolves the slasher story to cult horror, like an Appalachian " Midsommar ." That last part is where it gets a little less sturdy, but director Mike P. Nelson has confidence that keeps this movie bolder than you expect. And considering its fitfully nasty traps, it can be mighty thrilling when you don’t really know where a reboot like this is going.  

This “Wrong Turn” shares the title mostly by branding—a group of hip, diverse young hikers also make a bad decision here, this time in search of a rare Civil War fort off an Appalachian trail. The batch includes Jen (an incredibly game  Charlotte Vega ) and her boyfriend Darius ( Adain Bradley ), an out-and-out socialist who works for a non-profit and openly dreams about an equal society. In general, these hikers, who include a gay couple and also an interracial couple, are a liberal beacon for what they think the future of America should be.  They're also dead meat, starting with the rogue tree trunk that suddenly barrels down the hill in an excellent, frantic sequence, killing one of them. 

Not that these outsiders weren’t warned by the locals of the nearby small Virginia town to stay away, after then accusing the hikers of never working "real jobs" (to which the young folks then reply with their different careers, albeit none of them blue-collar positions). The initial tension in the movie is between that of curdled Confederate dreams and Bernie Sanders-grade socialism, and while it can be a little on-the-nose, it does make for a strong foundation related to fear of the other. Which so happens to later manifest itself in the woods with a creepy cult known as The Foundation, who wear animal skulls as masks and moss as camouflage and have created a secluded civilization in the Appalachian mountains since 1859. Adam ( Dylan McTee ), the hiking group's hothead, is dragged into one of the traps set by members of The Foundation, sending the hikers into panic mode. Along with the figures Jen sees in the woods and the traps that injure them around the mountain (Darius takes a spiked ball to the chest but recovers with the help of med student Milla [ Emma Dumont ]), they're convinced it is they who are being hunted. 

What’s striking and a bit sloppy about this movie is that it still humanizes everyone, albeit while honoring two different understandings of what is considered barbaric. When the hiking hipsters attack one of the Foundation members—without any outright violence committed beforehand—the act of killing becomes a divisive choice between the group. Adam, the guy who does the skull-smashing deed with a tree branch, screams out in self-defense, “These are clearly not good people!”  The hikers face judgment when they are captured by other members of The Foundation. "Wrong Turn" then invests a chunk of its running time in a creepy court scene inside the torch-lit caves of the cult, overseen by its stern ruler John ( Bill Sage ), whose rulings involve either darkness or death. He is deeply insulted when Jen, pleading for her life, accuses The Foundation of being barbaric. 

The Foundation is what particularly moves this film away from its original, instead bringing up memories of Ari Aster ’s cult horror movie “Midsommar.” "Wrong Turn" is practically emboldened by the horror that Aster has popularized, of being doomed by a terror just out of your eyesight. And it’s certainly Aster-like with the amount of head trauma here, as Nelson’s often jolting moments of skulls getting crushed, shot, stabbed, etc., prove to be just the type of cold-blooded beats you’d want from a movie filled with visceral emotional and physical pain. Nelson certainly has a more down-and-dirty approach than Aster, using desaturated colors with his copious daylight (like Fede Álvarez's " Evil Dead " remake), making the surrounding woods all the more claustrophobic, especially when it appears that the trees have eyeballs.  

But the intellectual ambitions of this "Wrong Turn" sometimes overwhelm it, and the ultimate meaning behind The Foundation comes apart when you think about it. As a snarky Frankenstein of Darius' socialist dreams and the locals' conservative ideology, the cult doesn't make too much sense as the statement it clearly wants to be. It does, however, lead to some great thrills, as the traps set by The Foundation (for animals? for people?) on the mountains are horrific and surprising in their own right. 

There’s a lifeline during this horror in the form of Matthew Modine as Scott, Jen’s father. The movie even begins with his search for her, and it gives the story a depth that makes it especially painful and nasty—everyone here is a family member, someone's loved one. And as the story goes on, McElroy scripts an often tight but long game with select pieces like Scott, and the locals back in town who beat him up when he asks too many questions. At the same time, "Wrong Turn" proves sharp at creating a strong sense of characters being doomed but giving them a glimmer of hope if they can beat the next nasty threat. Meeting the mountain's locals is only the beginning, and it becomes exciting to see McElroy and Nelson evolve "Wrong Turn" into a bizarre, winding odyssey, albeit with a lot more on its mind than just a cool kill. 

In theaters only on January 26th and January 30th via Fathom Events .

Wrong Turn review – skull-crushing Appalachian horror

The seventh entry in the franchise, with its weird cultists, takes a few original steps off the well-beaten hillbilly horror path

T his horror is pretty crass and generic, yet there is occasionally a wacky gonzo energy to this film by director Mike P Nelson, the seventh movie in the Wrong Turn slasher franchise, which began back in 2003 in the classic 1970s style of The Hills Have Eyes . This is also a reboot or summation in that it is called, simply, Wrong Turn, like the first one, without the number seven.

Charlotte Vega plays Jen, a fresh-faced twentysomething hiking the Appalachian trail with a group of her friends. After rashly deciding to go off the official path, into the dense woodland, in search of a “civil war fort” (an ominous destination if ever there was one), they are gruesomely set upon by sinister hillbillies and mountain men dressed in weird animal furs and skulls like Trumpites invading the Capitol. Jen’s earnest dad, Scott (Matthew Modine), comes looking for her, only to discover something horrifying about who these mountain folk actually are and the strange alternative society they have built in secret deep in the forest wilderness for a century or more.

This film really is horribly violent, with people getting their skulls crushed, heads bashed in, ribcages collapsed and generally mutilated in all sorts of loathsome ways. It is by-the-numbers stuff, but the film starts to up its game when we find ourselves in the weird proto-postapocalyptic society in the hills that has stayed the same since the 19th century (but which, apparently, was founded on non-racial lines in opposition to the Confederacy and the Union). Jen gets a bit of a story arc that goes a little beyond the survivalist pieties of the Final Girl. It’s a bit silly and queasy, but the narrative motor keeps humming.

Wrong Turn review: Is the horror reboot worth a watch?

It's certainly changed things up.

Wrong Turn marks the seventh instalment in the horror franchise that started back in 2003, but fortunately you don't have to have watched the previous movies in the series.

The new movie marks a reboot and a promised fresh start for the gory series that has focused on deformed cannibals, such as Three Finger and Saw Tooth, as they chop their way through whatever unfortunate victims come across their path.

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings , already told the origins of the cannibals. Now Alan B McElroy, who wrote the original movie, has returned to the franchise for the first time. It wasn't clear what path he would take for the reboot, but few fans would have expected it not to feature a single deformed cannibal.

Instead, Wrong Turn ends up being connected to the franchise in name only and you're left wondering what the point of it all was.

Even though there aren't any cannibals, the reboot does at least keep the setup of a group of people taking the titular wrong turn they weren't supposed to. Told to keep to the path on the Appalachian trail, they take a detour off the beaten path that sees their dream trip turn into a nightmare.

Jennifer (Charlotte Vega), her boyfriend Darius (Adain Bradley), and their friends find themselves coming face-to-face with The Foundation, a self-sufficient community who have lived in the mountains for centuries and, unsurprisingly, they don't take too kindly to outsiders.

A gruesome game of survival ensues between the two groups as The Foundation responds to this outside threat, while Jennifer's father Scott (Matthew Modine) ventures into the mountains to find his daughter.

But will he manage to make it in time before The Foundation dish out their own brand of swift and brutal justice, or will he find himself facing the same dark fate?

Rent Wrong Turn on Prime Video

Part of the problem with Wrong Turn lies in the subplot of Jennifer's father searching for her. The movie starts with his quest before cutting back to six weeks earlier with Jennifer and her friends on their fateful trip.

Since she's still missing more than a month later, it saps any tension out of a good chunk of the movie that's not really resolved until the much-improved final act. Here, we finally have no idea what'll happen next and it's when the reboot is at its most entertaining, with Modine in full hero mode.

Perhaps if the scenes of Jennifer in the mountains and her father's search were interspersed, we could have been tricked into thinking they were happening at the same time. As it is though, we're just waiting for her to fall foul of whatever awaits her and there aren't enough interesting twists thrown into the mix to keep you engaged, bar an impressively bloody log death.

At times, McElroy and director Mike P Nelson tease that Wrong Turn won't develop the way you think, especially in terms of what we expect from an isolated community in the mountains. Those moments are fleeting though, events soon pan out in a conventional fashion. Although, The Foundation does have some pretty grim traditions, even compared to other isolated communities in horror.

The overall feeling is one of a missed opportunity, as Wrong Turn could have used the reboot approach to upend everything we expect from the franchise, rather than just playing our familiar notes without the cannibals.

It's telling that one fake-out sequence late in the movie provides such a surprise as it just highlights what the rest of Wrong Turn is missing.

There's nothing to shock here. It all feels safe, as it seeks to deliver standard gory thrills and little else. In fact, you could swap the title for any other 'teens in peril' slasher. And you'd be better off taking a right turn, back to the original.

Wrong Turn (2021) Review

26 Feb 2021

Wrong Turn (2021)

Perhaps in one of the lower tiers of horror film franchises — The Championship compared to The Premier League of A Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday The 13th – creator Alan B. McElroy ’s series is built around families of flesh-eaters hunting people in West Virginia through a series of imaginative booby traps and improvised weaponry (think Home Alone if Kevin McCallister were a blood-thirsty cannibal). The seventh entry in the cycle is a reboot, written by McElroy and directed by Mike P. Nelson ( The Domestics ). It adds a new dimension to the killer clans, but there is not enough here to make it feel fresh or original.

A genre film peopled with thin characters and bogged down by tin-eared dialogue.

The set-up is as old as the (Appalachian) hills. A group of young folk — this time round they are millennials so include app designer Adam (Dylan McTee), oncologist Milla (Emma Dumont), bistro owners Luis (Adrian Favela) and Gary (Vardaan Arora), non-profit worker Darius (Adain Bradley) and Jen (Charlotte Vega), an art/history student currently working as a barista — head off on vacation, hiking through the woods, only to be picked off by gangs of famished forest-dwellers. The problem is, you can’t help but feel that the gang are so self-aware they would know they are in a horror film (especially when they are on the end of such lines as, “Keep to the marked trail. The land can be unforgiving”), but Nelson doesn’t allow for such sophistication. It’s a genre film peopled with thin characters and bogged down by tin-eared dialogue, dissipating involvement when the terrors come.

The story invests the horror with faintly interesting Trumpian overtones as the cannibals are revealed to be ‘The Foundation’, a community of people who have lived in the mountains for hundreds of years, appalled by the turns American civilisation has taken. This political dimension is new to the franchise but the idea of the creepy cult falls well short of Midsommar ’s sense of terror in an isolated society. Still, some of the set-pieces, such as an out-of-control tree-trunk chasing the group through the forest, come off smartly, and the third act admirably takes the action in a different direction. Matthew Modine turns up as Jen’s concerned father looking for the gang, but even he can’t elevate it from the mostly over-familiar mire.

Movie Review: Wrong Turn (2021)

• Vincent Gaine
• Movie Reviews
• --> February 23, 2021

2003’s “Wrong Turn” spawned a surprising franchise. Five sequels and this 2021 reboot demonstrate that screenwriter Alan B. McElroy’s premise has (deformed) legs that have continued to provide bloody scares for audiences. After six films in the original continuity, a reboot seems timely and could continue to capitalize on the potential of city people encountering a very different culture in the Appalachian Mountains. McElroy’s return to the franchise as screenwriter might suggest the same stripped down, visceral terror of the original.

Such hope will be met with severe disappointment as Wrong Turn 2021 demonstrates how much less more can be. Whereas the original was a lean mean 86 minutes, this epically stupid film runs out of steam after 25 minutes, and there’s another 80 to go after that which will likely test the patience of even the most devoted horror fan. The problems begin pretty much straight away as Scott (Matthew Modine, “ Sicario: Day of the Soldado ”) searches for his daughter Jen (Charlotte Vega, “American Assassin”), who disappeared while on a hiking trip with her friends. Scott encounters the thoroughly unfriendly Hicksville, USA, with scenes that set off big warning flags for any viewer familiar with “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Deliverance” or indeed, “Wrong Turn.” But these tropes are all after the fact, as the film then jumps back to “six weeks earlier,” as we meet Jen and her friends on their trip.

The young people are a decently diverse group. With the resourceful and highly moral Jen at their center, we also have her boyfriend Darius (Adain Bradley, “The Bold and the Beautiful” TV series), whose race is the subject of a bigoted comment but no more. There is also engaged couple Milla (Emma Dumont, “ Inherent Vice ”), the smart medical one, and Adam (Dylan McTee, “The Wind”), the arrogant entitled one. Rounding out the group is Luis (Adrian Favela, “The Try Out”) and Gary (Vardaan Arora), a gay couple of color who also incur an isolated glance of prejudice. These attempts at presenting problematic social attitudes might be effective if more was made of them, but the bigotry appears too cursorily to make an effective display of class prejudice.

This problem applies to the central characters as well as the supporting. The central figures are not annoying so much as obvious and under-served by the script, which makes the subsequent deaths (come on, that’s not a spoiler!) obvious and therefore tedious. The disruption to the narrative chronology is a real problem here — by starting after the principal action we know the young people are going to meet with misfortune so that daddy Scott can come looking for them. Their encounter with the same warnings as Scott — even down to the same harbinger, Nate Roades (Tim DeZarn, who also played the harbinger in “ The Cabin in the Woods ”!) — feels therefore even more cumbersome than it might have otherwise. Sure enough, when the kids head into the woods, they take a (heavily convoluted) wrong turn and rapidly come to regret that choice.

Wrong Turn utilizes the familiar folk horror premise of urbanites encountering the threat of the rural, the primitive, the untamed. This is a primal fear that has informed a varied range of films from “The Wicker Man” to “The Blair Witch Project” to “ The Witch ” and the recent “ Death of Me .” So pervasive is this fear that it is impressive that director Mike P. Nelson manages to mess everything up so effectively. Multiple whip pans that provide glimpses of the undergrowth where SOMETHING moves out of sight (but quite visibly) provoke fear for about three seconds, yet they keep coming. Some fast handheld footage as our victims run through the forest might be more effective if some semblance of atmosphere had been created. Instead, repeated shots of our carefully muddied heroes standing around while insisting that “We need to get the FUCK off this mountain” (they all speak with that emphasis, which is sort of sweet) means that you’ll find more immersion in the recent charming drama about excavation, “The Dig.”

Furthermore, and most baffling, is the clumsy and contradictory world building that takes the simple premise of being lost and hunted in the woods and expands this into weird, isolated counter-culture bullshit. Grand eloquence and pontificating that would make “The Matrix”’s Architect roll his eyes utterly smothers any visceral terror. Meanwhile, really nice hair ensures that any sense of untamed nature or wildness is dispelled. When you’re noticing that the bad guys appear to have access to decent conditioner, something is going badly wrong. The good looks continue despite the occasional bursts of gore, usually only the aftermath which betrays a lack of conviction in the nastiness. Although several characters die potentially gruesome deaths, there is no sense of pain or suffering, therefore reason to care.

This lack of conviction plagues the film more widely. Suggestions of nihilism and the arbitrary nature of death give way to sentimentality expressed through oh-so-meaningful slo-mo, while the gender politics are uncomfortably patriarchal. One might wonder if there is a satirical comment here about traditional American values, an askance look upon the modern world that would view the potential purity of a pre-industrial society as “barbaric.” Such a reading is especially tempting in the aftermath of the January 2021 insurrection at the Capitol, Wrong Turn highlighting the divisions and dangers in American society. Would that we were so lucky. Any suggestions of social or political commentary go the same way as tension and fear, as the final act wanders and wibbles like a lost child, but without the panic.

Wrong Turn is wrong-headed in every possible way. An overly convoluted plot, incoherent themes, reiterative dialogue, garish visual style and distracting hair add up to a crushingly dull experience. Perhaps the most damning thing about the film is a character mentioning a movie with inbred cannibals, as you wish for more of those. It’s not something you wish for every day, but there was that 2003 film with Eliza Dushku . . .

Parents need to know that Wrong Turn (also known as Wrong Turn: The Foundation ) is a horror/slasher movie about six 20-somethings who are terrorized in the Appalachian woods; it's a remake of the same-named 2003 movie. It's marginally better than the original, but that's all relative: It's still…

Positive Messages

Vaguely tries to discuss a vision of socialism that seems almost utopian (and probably impossible), as well as ethical questions of what "right" and "wrong" are, but these discussions are empty and go nowhere. The best lesson the movie provides is "stay on the marked path."

Positive Role Models

Makes a cursory attempt to have a diverse cast, and Jen turns out to be quite brave and resourceful (although she eventually turns to violence). But otherwise most characters are pretty shallow, with little worth admiring.

Violence & Scariness

Extreme gory violence. Character smashes someone in the face with a thick branch; face smashed open, brains visible. Runaway log rolls down hill, crushes character; smashed, bloody face, protruding jaw shown. Character falls into pit, lands on sharpened stakes (lots of blood and agony). Character's head bashed in. Character's eyes poked out with hot poker. Woman stabs a man again and again, with blood spatter. Character stabbed in chest by flying trap. Characters shot by bow and arrow. Characters shot with gun (hole in head shown). Person's head smacked against a rock. Maggot-strewn corpse. Several characters sliced and killed with a knife. Broken finger (pointing at an awful angle). Character crushed by falling trap. Character holding a knife to a child's throat. Character dragged into trap by chain. Several people beat up another (he later spits blood, has a bloody face). Dead deer strapped to truck. Sudden tire blowout. Punching in head. Scary cave full of people who have been blinded. Molotov cocktail.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

A couple kisses passionately in bed while clothed, one straddling the other. Naked man's bottom shown while showering. Woman in skimpy underwear. A woman volunteers herself to be a "childbearer" for the Foundation members (another woman responds with "spread your legs!"). A creepy man says "I can smell your juices."

Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Sex, Romance & Nudity in your kid's entertainment guide.

Extremely frequent, strong language, with near constant use of "f--k" or "f--king." Also "motherf----r," "s--t," "bulls--t," "son of a bitch," "bitch," "goddamn," and "peckerwood," plus "oh my God" and "Jesus" (as an exclamation).

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Wrong Turn (also known as Wrong Turn: The Foundation ) is a horror/slasher movie about six 20-somethings who are terrorized in the Appalachian woods; it's a remake of the same-named 2003 movie. It's marginally better than the original, but that's all relative: It's still pretty dumb and annoying. Expect intense, graphic violence, with lots of blood and gore. Characters are killed in grisly ways, via traps, shot by arrows or guns, sliced up with knives, or beaten. Even the "heroes" kill others in brutal ways. Language is also extremely strong, with near constant use of "f--k" or "f--king," plus "s--t" and more. Two characters kiss passionately in bed while clothed, with one straddling the other. A man's naked bottom is briefly seen, and a woman is shown in skimpy underwear. A woman volunteers to be a childbearer for a cult-like group; she becomes pregnant, and there are creepy lines like "I can smell your juices." A scene set in a bar includes social drinking (shots and beer) and some smoking. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails .

Boring, unoriginal, not thrilling or scary in the slightest,

Yuh i guess kinda gory, what's the story.

In WRONG TURN, Scott ( Matthew Modine ) hasn't heard from his daughter, Jen (Charlotte Vega), in several weeks, so he goes looking for her. Weeks earlier, she, her boyfriend, Darius (Adain Bradley), and four other friends decided to hike the Appalachian Trail. Darius, a history buff, talks the others into leaving the marked trail to find the secrets of the woods, even though they were warned not to. Before long, strange things start happening. One of the group dies, crushed by a runaway rolling log. Then others begin disappearing or falling into well-hidden traps. Then they encounter mysterious people wearing animal skulls. What will Scott discover when he finally finds his daughter?

Is It Any Good?

This remake of the 2003 horror/slasher movie (and the seventh entry in the franchise), is filled with annoying characters and dumb situations and can't make a reasonable case for its own existence. Wrong Turn is one of those movies in which the characters spend lots of time shouting one another's names ("Jen!" "Darius!" "Milla!" "Adam!" "Gary!" "Luis!") rather than developing any personalities. And what little character development there is, is ridiculous. The movie tries to earn points for having a diverse group (two women, one Black man, one Latinx man, and one Indian man, with the latter two a couple), but their shallowness undercuts that attempt.

Darius dreams of a cult-like collective in which "everyone works and everyone shares" (and, coincidentally, he finds it!). Jen somehow believes that there's only right and wrong, and shades of gray don't exist. And Adam is a serious jerk; he does the most shouting. Then there are questions like: Who carried the tent that was big enough to fit five people, if all they have are tiny backpacks? And why do all of the characters' facial cuts and scrapes look pretty much the same? At least the villains in Wrong Turn -- led by the charismatic Venable (Bill Sage) -- are more interesting than the heroes.

Families can talk about Wrong Turn 's violence . How did it affect you? Could the story have been told effectively with less violence? How does it compare to other violence you've seen in movies or on television?

What's the appeal of horror movies ? Why do people sometimes like to be scared?

How does the movie show diversity among its characters? Are non-White characters allowed to be strong or multilayered? Are stereotypes used?

Does the Foundation's way of life seem appealing? Do you think it could work in real life? Why, or why not?

Wrong Turn (2021) review – a franchise reborn with new levels of horror

This is a non-spoiler review of Wrong Turn (2021) releasing for Home Premiere on Digital Platforms on 26th February. Directed by Mike P Nelson, seeing the return of original writer and creator Alan B McElroy, the rebirth of the franchise will see Full Metal Jacket’s Matthew Modine, American Assassin’s Charlotte Vega, and TV’s Gifted’s Emma Dumont in the leading roles. The question going into this film is, can the franchise be reborn, or should it have stayed lost down the wrong turning?

Wrong Turn follows six young adults, Jen (Charlotte Vega), Darius (Adain Bradley), Milla (Emma Dumont), Adam (Dlyan McTee), Gary (Varsaan Arora), and Luis (Adrian Favela), who are on a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail — a hike which they are warned by the locals should stick to the main trail. When the friends don’t remain on the trail, they find themselves coming up against a community of people living in the woods, causing the nightmares to begin as they use what they know to try and survive the ruthless leader John Venable (Bill Sage) and his Foundation of people.

Wrong Turn was a franchise that had six previous installments. Each went through the same storyline, a group of people getting picked off by cannibals. The idea had become stale and even after the sixth outing tried to turn things around, we needed a new start. Much like Child’s Play in 2019, we got the idea coming back, in this case getting lost in the wood, but going in a different direction, which is just as terrifying. When we look at the timeline in the film, we do see a weakness, because it starts with the father looking for information on the daughter, before we jump back to see what happened. We get reconnected with his side after filling in the gap and that will lead to plenty more action happening. The story could have also played upon the Foundation’s personality more, teasing they could well be good, honest people, instead of just going with the flat-out “they are evil” idea. This story is what the franchise needed; it is great to see the original writer returning to put it back on the right track.

Wrong Turn does have great performances throughout, with Charlotte Vega being the strong kick-ass leading lady, who could easily put herself forward for any horror or action role with this behind her. Bill Sage gives us a calm, disturbing performance that will linger with you for days; his cold but strong delivery makes us see just how in control he truly is. Matthew Modine brings the extra star power to the film and gives us the determination required to make this character standout.

Wrong Turn  (2021) returns to the horror roots, slowly introducing those elements first through the woods, and then with stalking, as people creep in the shadows. The blood and gore stand out, never holding back. The Foundation does have one punishment called ‘The Dark’, which is disturbing enough, but when we get to see inside, we are left with an environment that is nothing short of horrific.

All the wrong turn movies ranked, worst to best.

Wrong Turn only released once in theaters, but the franchise has a cult following anyway: here is the whole franchise ranked, worst to best.

Wrong Turn   is a bloody, grotesque horror franchise that's reminiscent of other cannibal hillbilly horror films such as Wes Craven's  The Hills Have Eyes . Though most of the film's installments went direct-to-video , the franchise still has a popular cult following.

Created by Alan B. McElroy, all the films focus - in some capacity - on a backwoods tribe of deformed, often inbred cannibals who hunt down travelers and use them in various horrible ways for food, among other things. The plots never really need to be too in-depth; with  Wrong Turn , simplicity and explicit sexuality, violence, interesting and shocking kills, and fresh-faced victims are the more important facets in the larger scheme.

Related: How Wrong Turn Swapped Nudity For Extra Violence

With news of a seventh installment in the works, titled  The Foundation , the  Wrong Turn  franchise seems like it might be on an upswing and headed toward revitalization. Though fans tend to enjoy all the films in some capacity, there are certainly some that are better than others. Here's the entire franchise (so far) ranked, worst to best.

6. Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012)

Wrong Turn: Bloodlines  was shot primarily in Bulgaria and utilized local talent as background extras; the woods and a small village were reformatted to make the set look like the West Virginia wilderness, where the franchise is traditionally set. The film cut some obvious corners, and suffered for it with a sloppy, half-finished seeming final product. Where the series has employed some excellent practical effects in the past,  Bloodlines  is poorly done in comparison and despite having a unique opportunity for a fan to be involved with production, there's little value to be found here.

5. Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead (2009)

Featuring some really terrible CGI and hollow acting,  Left for Dead  is an exercise in how not to make a killer cannibal movie. Where the other two previous installments employed some truly brutal, unique kills,  Left for Dead  borrowed too much from them to feel like an original movie. Perhaps it suffered, partially, from the first two films raising the bar too high, but other installments after rose to the occasion by trying to reinvent itself, where this one seemed comfortable with just going along with what had worked before and caring very little about being unique.

4. Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)

Bloody Beginnings  served as a prequel to the 2003 original,  Wrong Turn , and attempted to tell the story of the Hillicker brothers (the deformed cannibals who act as the franchise's cornerstone). While the concept of a prequel and origin story made sense given how unremarkable the third installment, but there was quite a bit that failed in this film, which balanced out the good.  Bloody Beginnings  didn't overexploit the origin tale, which was likely for the best as there's really so much to be explained, but the hollow acting, terrible characters, and over-the-top violence that bordered on excessive left it more in neutral standing.

Related: Wrong Turn: What Went Terribly Wrong On Set

3. Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014)

One of the smartest decisions the franchise made was to completely separate the sixth installment from the rest of the  Wrong Turn  movies.  Last Resort  was mindless fun, with brutal kills that actually tried to set themselves apart and bring the splatter and gore fans wanted without doing tedious, lengthy torture scenes like other installments have attempted. The strongest aspect of  Last Resort was its relatively cohesive plot. There are still plot holes and aspects that don't work, but it's clear some thought was put into making this sixth installment a little more streamlined. It pushes boundaries, which is a hallmark of the franchise on the whole, but the acting wasn't bad and the characters were actually somewhat likable.

2. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007)

Joe Lynch's sequel,  Dead End , does a lot right. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is important for a franchise like  Wrong Turn , and it's just plain fun to watch. Lynch is clearly having fun with his audience by playing to over-the-top blood spatter and sheer mayhem, which is what a killer redneck cannibal movie really needs to be great. The acting was good, and featured a neat role for fan-favorite actor  Henry Rollins along with an interesting premise that built steadily off the momentum of the first, which actually lacked, overall, in plot and banked on sheer simplicity instead.

1. Wrong Turn (2003)

Though  Wrong Turn  couldn't have had a simpler plot - beautiful 20-somethings who get stranded in the wilderness and end up hunted and eaten by cannibals - the characters are genuinely likable, the acting is really good, and it features stars like Desmond Harrington, Eliza Dushku , Emmanuelle Chriqui, and Jeremy Sisto. This film set the pace for the franchise, and set the bar extremely high. Stan Winston ( Aliens , Jurassic Park ) ,  a genre legend, contributed some of the best practical effects that a slasher film from the early 2000s could have hoped for, which really lent to a clean final product that is watchable again and again and stayed good with age.

Fallout : What It Gets Right, and What It Gets Wrong

Despite a rocky start, prime video's adaptation of the popular video game franchise is a mostly slam dunk..

TAGGED AS: Prime Video , Sci-Fi , streaming , TV , Video Games

Fallout is the latest in a long line of video game movie and TV adaptations, a trend that is going through a bit of a golden age now with critical successes like Arcane , Castlevania , and the Sonic the Hedgehog movies. After the critical success of The Last of Us , anticipations were high for Fallout , the live-action adaptation of the acclaimed video game series of the same name, renowned for its world-building, action, and humor.

That is a high bar for the new series to hit, but unlike  The Last of Us , Fallout doesn’t try to translate any one specific game, instead telling a fully original story with brand new characters set in the world of the games. Though there are some aspects where the show misunderstands the games, it manages to reach the heights of the Fallout series while carving its own path. With that in mind, let’s take a look at what Fallout gets right and where it drops the bomb.

[Warning: Potential Spoilers for Fallout : Season 1 Follow]

What It Gets Right

The look of the wasteland.

The world of the Fallout games is vast and rich in detail. Even if you never read the hundreds of supplemental notes, diary entries, and audio tapes scattered throughout the game, there is a sense of a bigger, fleshed-out world with a long history and lore. The TV show understands how essential that is to the story and makes sure every detail, from big sets in the underground vaults all the way down to the boxes of Sugar Bombs cereal and the Nuka Cola bottlecaps that became the leading currency after the apocalypse. Even though the series can’t replicate the first-person experience of playing the games, it does bring even the heads-up display of the Power Armor and the Pip-Boy from the games to real life.

The Fallout series introduces a world that is tangible, living and breathing, bringing a fantastic recreation of the games to live action through mostly practical props and effects. It’s not just the vaults that look and feel real, but even the more fantastical sci-fi elements of the story like the giant steampunk-looking blimp or even the various mutant creatures we see in the show. This results in a unique look for the show, given its atompunk retrofuturism, a style that combines robots and laser guns with Bing Crosby. Even the visual storytelling, the random bits of history you find in the Wasteland, makes its way to the show, like a scene when Lucy finds a house with a bunch of skeletons that killed themselves before the bombs.

A big part of the charm of Fallout is its unique soundtrack, which is comprised of jazz and space era songs that evoke the retrofuturistic aesthetic of the games. The TV show nails this by mixing a thrilling score by Ramin Djawadi with songs by the likes of The Ink Spots and Nat King Cole , which is essential to capturing the feeling of first stepping out of the vault and entering the wasteland in the game, but also gives the adaptation a unique sound not present in any other modern TV show.

Grim Humor and Cartoonish Violence

Stories set in the post-apocalypse are a dime a dozen, with most of them focusing on the despair and the horror of surviving after the end of civilization. While there certainly are elements of that in Fallout , and danger (be it from mutated monsters, giant radroaches, or raiders and cannibals) is ever-present, the games always had a grim sense of humor. After all, the world has already ended, so what’s left to do but smile? There’s a reason the game’s mascot is a smiling little blonde guy doing a thumbs up.

There is a delicate balance to strike here, as the humor is mostly meant for the audience, never the characters — who still have to face the horrors of nuclear armageddon. The adaptation pulls this off, with funny gags like a robotic turret telling a person to “remain calm” as it shoots at her (she is definitely not laughing, but the audience is). Indeed, most of the humor comes from the violence, which is over the top and gory in a tongue-in-cheek, cartoony way. This is very much the tone that has made The Boys such a popular show, so it’s no wonder Prime Video wanted to do it again with Fallout . This is a show where limbs explode from the impact of a bullet, where heads are crushed by the giant metallic hands of Power Armor. This is also how the show recreates the V.A.T.S. targeting system from the games, which lets the player aim better and target specific body parts, by depicting the result of said aiming — usually just limbs blowing up in pools of blood and viscera.

War Never Changes

Though they are fun action RPGs, the Fallout games always have social commentary ingrained in them, as the world they inhabit is one ruled by corporate greed and evil, where humans will find any excuse to kill each other. The Fallout series does justice to this idea not only by reinforcing the “humans are the real monsters in the post-apocalypse” angle, but also taking the audience back to pre-war times and making some interesting changes to the lore to illustrate how truly horrible corporations were in the lead-up to nuclear holocaust. Not even the vaults are really safe, as there is always someone pulling some strings in the background. Much like executive producer Jonathan Nolan’ s brother Christopher did with Oppenheimer , the Fallout show is all about bringing the fears and concerns of 1940s and 1950s America to the present (and the future) to show how little some things change — except Fallout is way funnier than Oppenheimer .

The Ghoul and Dogmeat

Though the cast is very good, two performers easily stand out — Walton Goggins as The Ghoul and the absolute best girl, Dogmeat. Goggins plays an original character created for the show, but The Ghoul does share many elements of fan-favorite Fallout 4 character John Hancock. The moment he appears on screen, he steals the attention as the long-lived mutated bounty hunter with no nose. Ghouls are a staple of the games, serving both as allies and enemies, with feral ghouls becoming sort of the Fallout equivalent of zombies and “smart” ghouls providing some poignant social commentary.

Then there’s Dogmeat. The Fallout games, especially the third one, are heavily inspired by Mad Max , so of course we would get a wanderer in the wasteland accompanied by a dog. If anyone is able to upstage Goggins, it’s Dogmeat, the best companion, the funniest dog, and the devourer of radroaches.

What It Gets Wrong

The new california republic.

The Fallout games are full of factions all fighting to establish control of the wasteland — they all suck. Though most are small and crumbling, the New California Republic is the closest the games get to a functioning government… and the show goes the exact opposite direction to show that the NCR is all but collapsed. Given that the show takes place after the events of the games, something could have happened to bring forth this fall of the government, but Fallout devotes little time or attention to this, treating it as little more than a joke about some random guy calling himself president while working out of a gas station. Granted, the very end of the final episode teases that season two could expand on the NCR, it is hard not to think of this as a bit of a misstep.

Do you feel Amazon got things mostly right in its live-action adaptation of Fallout ? If not, what could it have done better? Let us know in the comments.
