Review – Wrong Turn

The biggest wrong turn here is whatever twist of fate takes you into a room where this movie is being shown. I guess it would be really easy to dismiss this as a cheap combination of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Deliverance (and no, just because they mentioned the latter movie by name doesn’t transform it from a rip-off to a homage). But I’ll go a step or two further: the scariest part of this whole picture is the opening credits. The whole rest of the show is a thoroughly predictable alternation between booga-booga shots and annoying, ill-paced chase scenes. Oh, and when the end credits start to roll let them go for a few seconds. Otherwise you’ll miss the “epilogue” that sets up an unless-God-is-merciful-or-the-profits-are-low sequel. See if desperate
