Wrong Turn (2021)

Despite warnings to stick to the Appalachian Trail, hikers stray off course and cross into land inhabited by a hidden community of mountain dwellers who use deadly means to protect their way of life. Suddenly under siege, the friends seem headed to the point of no return -- unless one man can reach them in time.

Spoiler:

I had low expectations going in and they were pretty well founded, the movie is poorly paced, badly written and insanely dumb. The original is no masterpiece but this movie feels like a step down even for this series.

The characters are dumb af, bar maybe the main girl the rest are pretty loathsome and really one dimensional and nobody is given any growth apart from said main girl so you end up not caring who dies or lives and sadly the deaths are all off screen apart from one head smash so there is just no reward at all.

The clan are moronic too, they stalk the six friends, fell a tree that kills one of them (the best scene in the movie) and steal from them before kidnapping and killing another and then get angry that one of the survivors killed a guy dressed in a deer skull. It's so poorly written.

The final twist is that the main girls father goes looking for her, she decides to escape but her boyfriend who the clan have taken on as a hunter is somehow brainwashed after 4 weeks and decides to stay behind. It makes no sense and the movie is a mess.


3/10
