wrong turn was a great movie just like an old school horror

Good story, good acting, and something a bit different from the norm! Certainly better than the lame Cabin Fever. Man that gave me sleeping fever!

RFlagg.

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.

I hated both 28 Days Later and Wrong Turn.

I liked both of them. I finally saw Wrong turn this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. I actually expected to hate it, but liked it.

Is it just me, or did the skinny inbred that laughed a lot look like an orc from Lord of the Rings?

My friend said 28 days later sucked, but how can I trust his opinion, he prefers Jeepers creepers2 over Jeepers creepers:rolleyes: oh and that little guy that screams a lot in wrong turn he's said to be Stan winston's love slave.

Well, now that you are mentionning it... Hell yes. He does look a lot like some Orc from LOTR. Maybe the FX crew was out of idea and got to steal a used costume from LOTR...lol

Just saw the movie today, and what a load of crap. It lacked the ability to be original and interresting all the way through the movie, which in fact is pretty good though when I think about it.

Wrong Turn
 

A good movie. I enjoyed watching it but found it less as a horror movie and more like an action movie.

Just watched it, usual predictable parts, but none the less entertaining.

Wrong Turn sucked nuff said.

I loved it

*twitch*

i liked it, it was actualy pretty good.

*twitch*

I take it this is not your favorite film? Or am I reading this wrong....lol....:p

I thought one scene was really well done but overall I felt the movie was pretty generic.

It was better than House of the Dead.

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...

I thought it was ok at best, they tried enough but not to hard.

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.

i liked it................. when it was called the hills have eyes.

wrong turn is a terrible excuse for a horror film. It just didnt credit the movies they ripped off.

: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.

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.

uhmmm ...


the girls were hot.

*************SPOILER **********************



the only thing that bugged me is when billy-bob fell out of the tree and lived ... or even walked away.

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...

Well how'd he survive the fireball at the end? lol He's a tough little motherfucker.

Around my wife's graduation, myself and most of her family were very drunk, and were talking about wrong turn, and out of nowhere i pealed off one of those laughs that crazy little fucker does and scared the piss out of half of them. I'm pretty good at it :D

Oops, I double posted.

:cool:

I thought you might appreciate that.


:D

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 agree. Did you read my post earlier in the thread about all of thewm being able to grab a branch as they plummett out of the watchtower?

What if you land in a sea of feathers from 30-40 feet?

I hate that bit in Dracula when the guy in the cape turns into a bat and flies away.

It's just stupid.

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.
