Wrong Turn is pretty standard early-2000s cannibal/slasher horror, but manages to be memorable thanks to a decent cast playing tolerable characters.

The cannon fodder teenagers in this are also pretty standard, with the exception of the two leads played by Eliza Dushku and Desmond Harrington. They don't come across as the usual empty headed victims that make stupid decisions, and as a result, it's easy to become invested in their fight for survival.

This first entry in the franchise is a far cry from the more digital looking, torture porn leaning sequels, and boasts some decent practical gore. The designs of the mountain men are suitably unsettling, thanks to Shane Mahan and Stan Winston, and it's easy to see why Thee Finger became something of a horror icon following this film's release.

Wrong Turn won't set your world aflame, but it's a competent and watchable horror that stands well on its own, and is a pretty fun, especially when compared to it's plethora of shitty sequels (the second one isn't too bad to be fair...)

Sick, twisted... Great
1. Martyrs. A sick depraved film, in other words, it was great! Those French bastards strike again! I love that it had an intro from the director apologizing and thanking you for watching his film.From where it begins to where it ends it one crazy fun filled adventure... About a girl, Lucie who escapes the clutches of an evil couple that likes to torture young women, from there she meets Anna, and become very close friends, 15 years pass, and Lucie has tracked down the couple who tortured her and well, you can guess... Lucie also hallucinates just a tad in the form of a woman who was also being held captive... From that point on things get just a little nuts, in a totally good way of course!! What a way to end the countdown, with a pretty sweet sick movie... Acting was superb, felt everything was real, as nasty as it was lol!! But if sick n twisted is your game, and I bet it is, check it out!!! Filmbufftim on FB.
