About this movie

A chaotic fight for survival befalls a group of friends on the Appalachian trail in this iconic franchise reboot from the original creator Alan. B. McElroy. When a dream trip turns into a nightmare, one group of friends finds themselves at the mercy of an urban legend - The Foundation. As a freak accident drives the group deeper into the mountains, they find themselves succumbing one by one to hunting traps large enough to take out anyone that dares venture off the beaten path. The group soon realises they are not alone and what happens next escalates into a gruesome game of survival, as those who called the mountain home respond to this outside threat with their own swift and brutal justice..

Ratings and reviews

I think people have a lot of prejudice towards this movie because it is not faithful to the Wrong Turn series from 2003 onwards. Rather than a reboot, this movie is a reimagening of the idea of going off the designated path. It's a very interesting twist on the original and it has its own horror and thriller moments with gore and violence. The ending is great. It's well worth a watch, just don't be so closed minded simply because there aren't inbred cannibals in this one.

Only 2 stars for story effort, makeup and special effects BUT the film is very poor in many other ways. Sadly the film is very 21st century and the gory part isn't even the film its what is cast to happen between actors, the actors in it and the storyline is quite predictable to say the least. With what is cast to happen between actors represents everything that is wrong with the western world, especially America unfortunately.

Stick with it. Definitely improves as it goes on. If you know the previous, unrelated, Wrong Turn movies, you know that things don't always work out. This one holds the tension right to the end. Didn't recognise Matthew Modine at first.
