Wrong Turn

I rented this one last night and despite some glaring errors -- I thought overall that it worked.

First, the weaknesses:

- When you watch crazed mutants mutilate your friend and carve up her dead body, DO NOT sneak out of their shack of horrors on tip toes as they sleep. It's time to grab the two-sided axe and chainsaw for a little payback.

- Never hide in a fire tower at night and then turn on the lights if you expect not to get noticed by said crazed mutants.

There was nothing really new about "Wrong Turn" (we've seen it all before), but I thought the movie was rescued by some strong acting performances and some good directing (it also benefitted by being a relatively short 84 minutes). I wouldn't rank it at the top of the heap by any stretch -- but a decent outing.

And better than "Ginger Snaps" by a horse length.
