Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
GL84 Getting stranded in a freak snowstorm, a group of friends seeking shelter in a supposedly-abandoned asylum find it still inhabited by cannibalistic inmates housed there years ago hunting them down one- by-one and must find a way of getting away from the vicious killers.This was a rather fun and entertaining entry in the series which has a lot to like about it. One of the better parts here is with it managing to feature even more of the usual elements found in the last entries which comes off as a rather coherent connection to become that much more entertaining. That is mostly brought along by the film's great setting, as the large, cavernous structure with it's long, looming hallways, tight quarters and hidden rooms are used to good effect in both creating effective atmospheric locations and perfect areas for them to display their cruel tactics. It's also helped along by the raging storm and isolated nature while also taking into account the film's backstory about how they got freed and are now roaming the hospital grounds which is a great introductory scene of them running loose and leading the other inmates through their takeover of the hospital. When that leads into the later action scenes of them inside the building, there's quite a bit of fun on display with the stalking and hunting which are spread nicely throughout this, from the first walk-through where they see the shadows running throughout the hallways, the encounter in the kitchen where they first come across the family carving up their friend which starts in on the fun noose trap in the main hall and the resulting chases down into the basement as well as the different offices in the upper floors. The later scenes here, with the attack on the family who are gorging on their friend and leading into the first trap scene down in their jail cell is quite fun and the big finale is a series of chases through the main levels of the building and then outside into the surrounding woods which gives this all quite a bit of fun. All of these great action scenes are given a great sense of fun here as the gore and kills here are both over- the-top here, featuring numerous amounts of splatter and carnage which allow the film to be pretty brutal at times with some innovative torturing methods all of which give this one here a lot to like. While these here are the positives, it does have a few minor elements wrong with it, starting with the absolutely ludicrous decision-making by the characters which puts them into dangerous situations for that reason only, and it does hurt this one. From failing to leave once they know they're friends are missing and have bloodied equipment laying around and then have them trapped yet decide not to do anything which lets them come back later just lets this one feel so dragged out because their lack of rationale and common sense in the situation simply keeps them in trouble. As well, it's finale does seem to run on forever and get old after a while since it's not really all that clear what's going on with all the endless running around the same locations in the snow-covered woodlands surrounding the asylum, and it seems somewhat repetitive to keep going back to that same well of attack. Still, this here is a blast and quite enjoyable.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and drug use.
Shannen Harmon The amount of stupidity in this movie was too damn high. I wasted my time, brain cells watching it. It's so cringe to watch none of it has a single redeeming quality not even the blood whatsoever. The characters are just plain boring, so poorly acted. You're getting irritated every scene because of their denseness. I just end up rooting for the villains to kill them right away. Not even enjoyable to watch. There is this one scene that completely ruined the whole movie and you'll be like "WHAT!? WHAT JUST HAPPENED!". *Sigh* Perhaps, Wrong turn is a falling franchise. It was a lazy script-writing, the direction is awful even the visual effects.
Leofwine_draca WRONG TURN 4: BLOODY BEGINNINGS is the latest sequel in a franchise that nobody asked for. As the title would suggest, this is a prequel of sorts, although it's not really. The first five minutes is set in the 1970s but then the rest of the film skips to the early 2000s so the prequel aspect becomes a bit pointless. The only change here is that the setting is a derelict hospital rather than the woods.In any case, this is the worst WRONG TURN yet. Everything about the film is horrible: the bad acting from the inexperienced cast members, the rubbish dialogue that spouts from their lips, and the ridiculously stupid decisions that these characters make. This time around they have three mutant brothers to contend with, but the film fails to be the least bit menacing.Instead the producers up the gore quotient, along with some explicit sex scenes that make this resemble a porno at times. Unfortunately WRONG TURN 4 veers into the torture porn category with one extended set-piece involving a victim being strapped down while parts of his body are eaten, and this is unpleasant indeed. It makes the other extreme death scenes feel like a relief. As a whole, this is a real comedown from WRONG TURN 3, which was at least fun and action-packed and nowhere near as mean spirited.
capkronos You get the impression the director is just checking boxes along the way with this one, but at least he knew what to do. It's a slasher film so of course it needs blood, gore, a remote location, a bunch of twenty and thirty somethings pretending to be teenagers to supply a body count and a little T&A, right? That's precisely what this delivers. The opening prologue at a secluded West Virginia mental asylum sets the stage as three deformed white trash children manage to bust out of their cell, unleash the other patients and then kill off the staff in gruesome ways that include biting off a security guard's nose, gouging out an eyeball and ripping all of the limbs off a doctor with barbed wire. The film then immediately cuts to present day at a college where we briefly meet a few students. Well, we don't exactly meet them since this film has no characterization to speak of, we just get to see a straight couple having sex and then a lesbian couple having sex... and they're in the same room watching each other the whole time! That's just... weird.The above two couples, along with two other couples, then decide to take their snowmobiles out to a cabin to spend the weekend partying. On their way, they take a wrong turn, get lost and are then forced to spend the night in the now-abandoned asylum. Guess who's still living there? Yup, the three "inbred West Virginia hillbillies" from the opening sequence, now all grown up but none the nicer and now with a taste for human flesh. The rest plays out just as you expect with the "teens" running for their lives and doing incredibly stupid things while getting killed off one by one. Most of the characters are pretty irritating, especially our heroine, who is bossy, kind of bitchy and insists no one kill the cannibals once they have them trapped because she doesn't "want to be reduced to their level." Oh please. Of course that poor decision ends up biting them all in the ass later on, but it also requires the lookout guy to FALL ASLEEP so they can escape their cage. I don't know about you, but if I was just a few feet from a group of deformed psychos who've already killed and eaten a few of my friends, I seriously doubt I would nod off regardless of how tired I was!I could spend an hour detailing all of the stupid things these people do over the course of the movie, but I'll just discuss the gore and nudity instead since that's the main reason this movie was made. I actually liked many of the kills. The fx work is a combination of good old school makeups with a bit of CGI that admittedly looks like crap in a few instances but overall does the job OK. There's a really bloody hanging via barbed wire, a guy getting chunks of flesh slowed sliced off and fried in hot oil (human fondue?), a head skewering, several decapitations, a comically huge drill being thrust through a body and more. The director is smart enough to make sure nearly everyone's death is shown on-screen. He was also smart enough to hire a hot black actress, a hot Asian actress and a hot white actress (each with all-natural bodies) to do the nude scenes so that we get a little variety. Flaws and all, this movie actually compares favorably to several big budget slasher remakes of recent years like the awful Friday THE 13TH and ELM STREET re-dos.I also liked the filming location, some of the photography choices and camera placements and the snowy setting featuring (gasp!) REAL snow. That may not seem like a big deal, but I've recently seen several films with CGI snow and it looks absolutely terrible, so at least they went on location to Canada to film this instead of trying to fake it. And hey, considering the guy who made this also made the terrible previous entry - WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD (2009) - this at least is a marked improvement. He's even able to generate a little bit of excitement here.
