movie review - Wrong Turn
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2003.11.12
Wow. This is a 'horror/thriller' about a bunch of sexy young people fighting against the mountain men who rule the woods of a remote patch of West Virginia. The movie starts out reasonably well, but slips into a paint-by-numbers formula at some point in the middle, and it never emerges.
There were some original bits of gore and dismemberment in this film (which is saying something), and the premise itself has promise, but the whole is pretty watered down.
I have to say; those mountain men sure were a hungry bunch.
Not recommended.
