Little did I know.
The 2021 edition of Wrong Turn doesn't have deformed monstrosities stalking their prey through the woods and hills of the North Carolina. It doesn't have a spider monkey inbred that could climb a tree in ,4 seconds.
What it does have is an entire community of people living in the hills. A community that has their own laws. Their own court. Their own due process. And the results are quite impressive.
Movie begins off innocently enough 6 friends backpacking through the woods and hills of the mountains.
What follows is a messy, twisted romp that reminds me of the short lived tv series called "Outsiders". But with an R rating and some eye gouging and throat slitting and blood spilling...
I'm not gonna say it's a welcome edition to the Wrong Turn franchise... But it's really not a Wrong Turn movie... It should've been called The Foundation... Or even Wrong Turn: The Foundation... Would've made more sense.

The Plot: In the film, five strangers (Joan Collins, Ian Hendry, Robin Phillips, Richard Greene and Nigel Patrick) in a crypt encounter the mysterious Crypt Keeper (Ralph Richardson), who makes each person in turn relive the manner of their death.
Milton Subotsky of Amicus Productions had long been a fan of EC Comics' Tales from the Crypt and eventually persuaded his partner Max Rosenberg to buy the rights. The copyright owner, William Gaines, insisted on script approval. The budget of £170,000 was higher than usual for an Amicus production, and was partly funded by American International Pictures. Peter Cushing was originally offered the part played by Richard Greene, but wanted to try something different and played the elderly Grimsdyke instead.
And All Through the House, Blind Alleys and Wish You Were Here were all somewhat remade into episodes for the Tales From the Crypt television show. Blind Alleys and Wish You Were Here were both changed.
I love the fourth wall breaking in this film and The House That Dripped Blood. Talking to you the viewer.
Its a great film, but a better tv series.
