Why it’s HorroRated
Wrong Turn is a lean, effective backwoods horror film that delivers exactly what it promises. The mutant cannibal family design is memorable and the kills are creative. Eliza Dushku is a strong final girl and Rob Schmidt keeps the pace tight throughout. A reliable genre entry that executes the formula well.
Synopsis
Rob Schmidt keeps the tension physical and immediate and Eliza Dushku gives the final girl role more agency than the genre usually provides. The mutant cannibal family design is memorable and the kills are creative. A lean, effective backwoods horror film that doesn't overstay its welcome.
