I thought this movie was horrible and a waste of my viewing time.

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.

and Eliza Dushku was in it which kind of helps. :D

I have seen it a couple of times both on the big screen and dvd - similar to Texas Chainsaw - family of cannibals etc

I think a prequel is on the way, which will focus more on the family rather than the victims.

I liked Wrong Turn too. Far from perfect but very decent flick.

I'm a sucker for slasher flicks.

I'm not usually a big slasher fan, as I tend to prefer supernatural horror. However, I think I'd watch anything with Eliza Dushku running around in a tanktop.

Definately one of the good points of an enjoyable but unoriginal film.
