Wrong Turn is now available on VOD.
The Wrong Turn slasher franchise -- which, if you weren't aware, runs six films deep -- has been revamped with a new story, and new central antagonists, in an attempt to make a soft left turn away from its bread and butter of "inbred cannibals." As a franchise reboot, Wrong Turn, from director Mike P. Nelson and original Wrong Turn scribe Alan McElroy, is a touch overlong and filled with muddled messaging, but it strikes a creepy, unnerving tone and lands with enough confidence to stake a solid claim in the horror landscape.
Wrong Turn isn't excessively gory, but it is effectively gory. It's a curious attempt at a remake/remodel since it's not a straight reboot at all and contains none of the original movie's characters or plot (other than young adults getting lost and slaughtered in the woods). In fact, since it deals with a wholly different set of villains, it needn't have been slotted into the Wrong Turn oeuvre at all. But, all in all, it's a crafty and crazed endeavor that, at times, nicely plays around with some of our current "Red vs Blue" anxieties - only to then veer off into its own maddening, and somewhat haughty, themes.
Wrong Turn delivers a handful of timely twists and coats the franchise with a new, and vastly more interesting, sheen. It stumbles at times to balance all the themes it's trying to handle with regards to societal ills, individual value, and self-determinism but the end result is still a warped ride that could set up more thrills to come.
