Wrong Turn
[DVD Info]

Taking place in West Virgina, Backcountry...an aspiring doctor on his way to a job interview, Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington) runs into traffic. Desperate to be on time and his cell phone not working, he looks for the nearest phone. He finds one at a gas station run by "Gummy Joe" (not his real name...but that's what I usually call one toothed, pepto bismol guzzlin' inbreds). The phone isn't working but there is a map. According to the map...if he follows a side road it'll come out on the freeway just after the accident. So he hops into his vintage mustang and drives off while Gummy Joe mutters "them boys are gonna eatchaz." As he's travelling down this dirt road he sees a dead deer (and while adjusting his mirror to continue to stare at its carcas [has he never seen a dead deer before?]) he suddenly careens into a Range Rover parked on the side of the road. There he meets Jessie Burlingame (Eliza Dushku) a young but tough girl who's heart has recently been broken, Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Evan (Kevin Zegers) a newly engaged couple who are very much in love, and Scott (Jeremy Sisto) and Francine (Lindy Booth) a boyfriend, girlfriend set who get pissy very easily. Turns out that they ran over some barbed wire (which was put there on purpose) and they had a flat, and since Chris's car was totalled they go off to find help leaving Scott and Francine to wait be the car (and smoke a little ganja).

While looking for help they come across this house with rows of cars parked outside of it. Desperate for a phone (and a bathroom) they go inside even though no one answers. Within they find a dead body, jars of body parts, and BARBED WIRE! Thinking it's time to leave they are about to take off but the inbreds are home (with a range rover and mustang in tow). With no way out they hide until they can escape. Suddenly the inbreds storm in carrying the body of Francine and they chop up her body and eat it. Will they ever escape these murderers without becoming chow?

Inbreds are like monkeys. They communicate with grunts and spaztic arm movements. They can, however, drive perfectly.
Having your friends slaughtered and eaten is a great bonding experience.
Search parties don't look for missing people in the back countries...where a lot of cars *belonging* to the missing people are.
Inbred's don't need women to breed with.
They have names like "Three Finger," "One Eye," and "Saw Tooth."
Inbreds cannot die.

"Hello? May I remind you of a little movie called "Delieverance?" " ~Todd.

This isn't a complaint but a general wonderment. Hispanics and Blacks often complain about how they are portayed in the media. I wonder how inbreds feel. ^^;; They have a bad rep for bein' murderous and all...

Also...this was in the "deleted scenes" so they left it out...but...if two people running away from psychopaths have enough time and energy to have sex...they should be running away.

Surprisingly enough this wasn't a cookie cutter horror movie. It wasn't predictable and didn't have your average hero, slut, jock, brainy, stoner combo. The action starts right away and doesn't involve a girl getting her clothes ripped off while running from the killer. It wasn't very scary though. It *did* have it's moments where you jump a little but I wouldn't call it scary. Since it isn't one of those generic scary movies it left you in suspense and very interested. The gore factor was medium and the film was trying to be scary but not taking itself TOO seriously. Very enjoyable. Because of this, the jury gives this flick:
