I finally saw this tonight. Rented it from Blockbuster. I orginally wanted to get either the original "Hellraiser" or "Last House on the Left", but they were out of both. Anyways, I actually really liked this movie. I was a bit surprised because I heard so many negative things about it. Tomorrow morning I'll watch the special feature stuff. So what did you guys think of this movie?

Just wanted to add that a lot of horror movies will be out around this time of year. Everyone wants to rent horror films in October. By the way, I liked Wrong Turn.

I wasn't too impressed with the Special Features. The solo deleted scene was dumb, and those Francine kill segments were lame as well. I did like the lil' documentary though.

ok quick question, in wrong turn, the middle brother didnt kill any victims. the big brother and the little laughing guy killed all the victims. so what was the point of having the middle brother in the movie?

Blizz

01-16-2004, 01:16 AM

Why is there a clan of ninja's in karate movies if they don't kill anyone?

Exactly the point, they are there for substance. The extra brother was just another goon in the movie, nothing special about it.

predfan

01-16-2004, 01:42 AM

OK, but i dont see why they couldnt have had three monsters killing ppl, it wouldve been interesting to see his different ways of killing ppl.
and i dont think the big brother and the little brother would share food with the middle guy if he didnt pull his weight, they probably would have killed him so they get more food to themselves

if u watch the dvd there is a special feature which shows the filming of the francine death (girlfriend of guy with ear piercing) and u can see the guy behind her is the big guy...i assume he was responsible for evans death aswell since they happened so close together

look sorry if u think my original question about the middle guy is useless. but i enjoy thinking about details in horror movies....maybe the middle borhter could have been the cook...hes the one who chops up the bodies they bring back home

How about the barbed wire type thing pulled tight around that chicks mouth....that looked pretty fucked up.....I consider this movie "ok", but I DO think the movie got a 10/10 on the gore factor...

al ot of gore in this movie. when they saw the dismembered francine body on the table, axethruthemouthdecapitation...good times

Sam The Egg

01-16-2004, 08:17 PM

wouldn't it be easier to call it a half-cap? It's what it's called in (I think) the commentary.

cheebacheeba

01-16-2004, 08:21 PM

new term "halcapitation"? heh...
forgot that one but yeah, the bits I though brought back the gore we all wanna see in a horror film were the chicks body on the table (that was damned effective, even though u couldnt "clearly see it), the wire around the mouth thing, and yeah, tha "halcap"...

I just bought Wrong Turn on DVD yesterday and watched it. I thought this was a really good movie. It was different then most of the horror out there today. I didn't get a chance to watch the extras yet but I did watch the deleated scenes and the were nothing special. The DVD was worth it though since FYE is having a mssive sale and I got it for $14.99.

Sam The Egg

01-21-2004, 05:47 PM

I actually think they should've gone further with the 'Hills Have Eyes' style. Make it a revenge horror movie. I doubt they'd get away with hardly any revenge horror scenes, though.
But hey, Chris was a doctor, maybe they could use the 'scalpel' idea from Last House on the Left (Wes wanted a scalpel, Sean wanted a chainsaw. The scalpel would've been more imaginative)

Personally this movie bored the shit out of me. It brings nothing original to the table and only perpetuates the same stale stereotypes the genres been beating to death. Everything this movie tried to do has been done better somewhere else.

Arioch

02-22-2004, 05:46 PM

Arioch

02-22-2004, 05:54 PM

It borrowed ALOT from TCM, with the whole family thing. The hottest main character lives to the end, everyone else dies. The deaths were lack luster (maybe except the barbed wire one which was actually too fast to really see what happened).

It had a really predictible plot, and the ending blowing up the car with their last bullet. Thats as lame as it gets, i saw that coming a million years ago. Im not saying its a terrible movie, it just really didnt do anything for me and i think TCM, Last House, and others of this genre own all over it.

Arioch

02-22-2004, 06:21 PM

That's cool. But I think that most of the remake and original horrors made today are aimed at the generation of today. In other words what we think is classic, they think is cheesy and corny. What we think suck, they think is great. Of course anyone who thinks TCM original sucks isn't really a cult horror fan.

Agreed. And maybe thats part of the reason i have grown to detest these movies to such a degree. Because i know they are no longer aimed at me and my generation.

Wrong turn finally takes a "turn" around the middle of the movie that saves us from the boring first half. Come on, it was all too predictable from the beginning...

Sad part though is that the second half turns out to be some pale copy of the original TCM. It was a nice try for a return to old style horror flicks like in the 70's, but it could have used a bit more work on it.

Must say for their credits that the actors play was much better than in many recent horror movies!

Not a hit, but still a decent movie.

Everything Troma's ever done is better than House of the Dead. House of the Dead sucked!!! One of the worst movies I've ever seen, period.

Wrong Turn was great for a newer horror flick. Compared to what we've been seeing get pumped out of the studios the past 5 years, Wrong Turn is starting to look more and more like a bright spot in the new millenium of horror to me.

In a time when we are getting countless remakes of both Japanese (Ring, Grudge, Dark Water) and American films (Amityville, TCM, DOTD) as well as waaaaay too many video game spinoffs (Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, House of the Dead) and all-around crappy horror films (Boogeyman, Cursed), movies with any degree of originality are looking better and better to me.

Off the top of my head, I can only think of a small handful of movies that are as good, or better, than it that have come out in the last 5 years...

It was fine. I actually thinik it stacks up real nice next to the garbage put out recently. Didn't do anything that wasn't done in the 70's, but it should be applauded for at least doing a straight up horror flick.
\
The only problem I have is the characters jumping out of the watch tower and clutching branches to save them from plummeting to their death. What a bunch of horseshit. If you're falling from that hieght, there's no way you can grab and hold onto a tree branch.

:rolleyes:

Wrong Turn is waaay more gore filled and fast paced than Hills Have Eyes. About the only thing I can see in common here is the fact that they are stuck and being chased around by inbreds, and if that's what you're referencing, then Texas Chainsaw Massacre beat them both to it.

Every movie borrows parts from other movies. How often do you see any movie give credit where it's due? (Unless it's a remake by the same name.)

Also, the watch tower part didn't bother me. I'm pretty sure what they did is do-able at least. (I'm not saying they all would have landed safely in the tree, but they could have. It doesn't seem that impossible to me.) When I was younger, we used toplay 'Ditch' all the time. I jumped from my deck into a tree and caught the branches much like they did in the movie. (Now granted, mine was a much lower and more parrallel jump, but still... I think in a life or death situation, it'd be achievable.)

Yeah thats cool but your stupid and theyve said now that he wrote the script after watching hills have eyes and deliverance. Also they were inbred mongoloids correct hmmm just like in hills have eyes.

06-28-2005, 10:11 PM

Who gives a shit? It's still better than the usual watered down bullshit that comes out.

Since you think it's a ripoff of Hills Have Eyes, I guess you hate House of 1000 Corpses because it ripped off ...umm...every horror movie made in the 70's?!

Wrong Turn is not great. It might not even be good, but it's certainly not horrible.

Okay first of all, if they said that, then it would seem that they are giving credit to films that they were inspired by (Not stole from.) so you have just muted your whole original point. Sit down and shut the fuck up you dumbass newbie.

Who said they were inbred mongoloids in Wrong Turn? They're all fucked up in some way or another but not neccesarily mongoloids. And even if they are/were 'mongoloids' in Wrong Turn, this whole point is fucking stupid... What? No one can ever use an inbred again in a movie because Texas Chainsaw Massacre did it first? (Not Hills Have Eyes, you dumbshit! Hills obviously was inspired by something and my guess would TCM which came out like 3 years before it.) Anyways, if that's the case, then I guess the vampire genre is fucked because Nosferatu beat them all to using a vampire and every film put out after it must have been copying it, right? That's your stupid ass logic at work... :rolleyes:

What a retard. Go away.

First off not a newb this is krugerkid13 so shut up. 2nd of they didnt give it credit cause the mainstream audience was not told this it was on an online interview not to mention it didnt appear in the credits. Also tcm didnt do it first deliverance did which i listed above as ripping it off. Deliverance (1972) 2 years before tcm.

TCM is far different than Deliverance.

Okay, I didn't know you were krueger, so you're not a newb, congratulations.

But you are still completely missing the point.

It doesn't matter if Deliverance, TCM, Hills, and Wrong Turn all have inbreds in them, that doesn't neccesarily mean that anything was copied. None of those movies invented the idea of inbreeding.

I happen to think all 4 of them are pretty good movies, however I don't see many similarities between Wrong Turn and Deliverance or Hills Have Eyes. Only in the vaguest most general sense of the main characters all being stuck in the middle of nowhere surrounded by inbreds do I see any similarity. I don't see them in storyline, direction, gore, or anything else for that matter.

If this is all you are referencing, then yeah... I suppose they are alike in the same way that all zombie movies are about zombies or all vampire movies are about vampires. But, to me, that's where the similarities stop.

Deliverance, 1972
Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974
The Hills Have Eyes, 1977

That should clear things up a bit.

Now, 2 points. No one is required, morally or otherwise, to publicly announce the inspiration for any movie or artwork. Independance day didnt publically give credit to V, The Day the Earth Stoofd Still, War of the Worlds, or the dozen other movies it borrowed from, but big deal. if you noticed, good for you. if not, whatever.

They dont tell the mainstream audience, because they could give a shit lewss. That is why we are in here bitching about remakes, and the general populace is just out watching them.

Point 2, bwind is 100% right. These are all "redneck psycho" genre films, and dont really rip each other off (especially from deliverance, night and day between that movie and the other 3....) any more than The Devil's advocate is a Prophecy rip off because they both have the devil in them.

I thought the movie was ok.... I dont think Wrong Turn has to put "The Hills have Eyes" in their credits... Still very different movies. This isnt a re-make of that movie. It may have some ideas based from that. Thats kinda like saying every new slasher movie has to give credit to Halloween.

i dont care if the ground is soft - the weight of your own body breaks your bones from a fall of that height - it was like 30 - 40 feet...

point not taken ...

there's poetic license - and there's sheer stupidity - for the sake of dragging things out.

it begins to sound dumber than it is when you commit it to print - so i hate trying to explain things like this - but i just get tired of the 'villian that cannot die' for the sake of a scare or 2.
Its done in every fucking movie ... everyone else obeys the laws of science (the victims) - but never the baddie..

Ok my turn.
You can survive a fall from 30-40 feet without breaking bones or ending up a parapalegic.

In 1983 while hiking in the Olympic Mts in WA St. I slipped and fell off a cliff that was estimated to be about 33ft and landed stomach first . Other than some major bruising and a nasty concussion I managed to walk out with my grandfather. People do survive falls unscathed all the time. Its is just the luck of the draw whether you get hurt or not.

well, like someone else said - he also survived an explosion ...

it's not just this movie - its most of them ... mortal slasher manics that cant be killed ...

Halloween's Michael being the prime example .. shot multiple times, stabbed in the eye ... etc ... since then every bloody movie does the same thing .. shoot him, put him down, but he'll always sit up and grab your ankle when you walk past.

if the victims were this hard to kill the maniacs would be nothing more than a mild annoyance.

i know you arent supposed to dwell on these things - you just put your brain in neutral and watch in a state uf numbness - but after a while it starts to grate on me..

Who says that your typical slasher is mortal? I think Micheal was inteneded to seem superhuman, it added to some bit of mystery about his character.

I don't mind if the maniac killer gets up repeatedly from gun shots, or what have you. That adds to the mystique.

I agree to a point. It never bothered me about Halloween though; Michael Myers is obviously intended to represent an unstoppable evil. He isn't simply a mortal slasher, but something more. And I think it works really well in the first Halloween film. In other movies, it doesn't always seem to be defined in that way.

The Wrong Turn was better than "Saw",but then that would be "no contest "! Too many bad cannibal "zombie films around to find comparisons. I am new,also;have mercy on me too! :cool:

yeah in halloween it kind of works ... but i never really got the sense that he had supernatural powers ..

i have an ex-boss that i believe is the embodyment of evil bit i'm pretty sure a couple of bullets would stop him ..

at any rate every slasher film since has grabbed the ball and run with it ...

apparently no slasher can be killed until you remove his head from his body ..

(and if they want another sequal they'll find a way around that too)

i guess thats the key isnt it ... its all about the sequal ..

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.

Wrong Turn is servicable for me. I'll buy it eventually, and I wouldn't be pissed if I bought it on a blind buy. It's pretty one notch above cut & paste slasher, but I'll take that any day as a fun watch.

As far as being a horselength better than Ginger Snaps...well, you'll never get in my pants with an attitude like that;)

Just wanted to add that a lot of horror movies will be out around this time of year. Everyone wants to rent horror films in October. By the way, I liked Wrong Turn.

it was way better than I thought it was going to be, reeeal gooood.
there isn't any good horror movies on though, poltergeist, freddy keruger,
aren't they supposed to do a friday the 13 beginning also just like
texas chainsaw massacre to show how jason came to be like he was.
and I/m thinking that freddy drowned jason as a child not the counselors
nat watching out for him, because when they made the freddy vs. jason
movie freddy was able to get into jason's head as a child and he drowned
him so is this right.
