Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Wrong Turn
Some teens are driving on the road and their car stops. A man hits them because he wasn't paying attention to the road. They walk around the back of a city where hardly anyone ever goes. No one is around but them. They encounter half man-half beasts creatures that are set out to kill them. It is gruesome.
--Anisha Bolden, Resident Scholar

When three couples hike the West Virginia wilderness, it seems the local mountain folk are retarded, deformed and cannibalistic from generations of inbreeding. So it's non-stop “spy-versus-spy” stuff, on the bad guys' turf, with plenty of axes, knives and arrows. But, barbed wire is their most interesting weapon -- both as a booby trap and as an effective garrote method. By nightfall, only the doc remains to rescue the girl, spread-eagled to a table awaiting dissection as she prays for her "home far away."
--Angry Jim Magin, Resident Scholar
