The Wrong Turn horror franchise again lurches forward with another grisly woodland face-off between unsuspecting young people and a trio of deformed cannibalistic killers. As with its predecessor, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, the fifth picture serves as a prequel to the events in the franchise's 2003 origin, with writer-director Declan O'Brien (Roger Corman's Sharktopus) returning to referee the mayhem. And, like the previous sequels, there are elements that might keep viewers and franchise fans engaged, most notably the presence of horror vet Doug Bradley--the once and future Pinhead from the Hellraiser series--as an incarcerated killer with a connection to the murderous brothers (series fans will recall that Wayne Robson played an older version of the character in the first two entries). Beyond that, however, it's bloody business as usual, as a quintet of concertgoers en route to a West Virginia music festival are brutally and systematically dispatched and consumed. The gory set pieces, which at times aspire to an E.C. Comics level of gleeful, diabolically elaborate deaths, exist as a sort of separate entity from the rest of the picture, which is woefully dull and cheaply executed. The murders, however, are energetically devised and executed, which should serve as indication of where the filmmakers' interests lie, with an entire supplemental feature (the seven-minute "Hillbilly Kills") devoted to detailing their elaborate planning. Those seeking splatter and nothing more should be fairly satisfied with the effects on display in Wrong Turn 5; all others needn't bother. The DVD includes enthusiastic commentary by O'Brien and producer Brett Levinson, as well as behind-the-scenes footage that shows cast and crew at work at the Sofia, Bulgaria, locations. --Paul Gaita

Product Description

The backwoods of West Virginia are deeper, darker and deadlier than ever in this all-new, unrated chapter of WRONG TURN! The cutting-edge terror continues when a small mining town hosts the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where crowds of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But a killer celebration soon gives way to a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are just dying for a good time

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Turn 5 - A Mixed Bag October 24, 2012

By Larry Leach

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have all of this franchise on DVD and now in Blu-ray and have been somewhat of a fan. Here's what I noticed after the first viewing:

Story:
It's never made clear the time frame of this movie. WT4 was a prequel. After some long thought on this, I believe this is supposed to be after 4 and before 1. All 3 of these mutants are alive and well, so it doesn't make sense that this would be a continuation from 3.
There is a reference from the older man Maynard that they aren't in an institution any longer. Maynard also refers to the 3 hillbilly freaks as "my boys." I never took him seriously, but after some consideration, maybe this man was really supposed to be their father. We don't know where this man came from or how he got hooked up with these 3. We just know that he ran into them at some point. We do see a computer screen at one point that would indicate that it is 2003, which would put this just months or even weeks before the original Wrong Turn.
The story is very simple. Simply put, a group of victims gather at the sheriff's office one way or another and get picked off one at a time.
Once the gang is more or less together at the sheriff's office, the sheriff tells everybody to stay together. They are trying to split them up to take them out one at a time. From that time forward everyone does their desperate best to try and split up. And when there's nobody else left that can leave, the sheriff herself wants to leave.
This is all supposed to take place during a festival and the trailer leads you to believe that this is all wrapped around this festival, but you never get to see it. It's only an excuse to have an empty set. The sheriff was expecting a busy night of trouble from this festival and she didn't get one call or visit the entire night....
I was confused as to how these 3 hillbillies could get hurt when smacked around by their 'father,' yet when one is shot in the leg, he doesn't flinch or even bleed. The one called 'Three finger' looks like he always did, but the other 2 don't resemble themselves from the other movies very much.

The kills:
Of course creativity is the thing with this and the movie does deliver some unique ways to kill people. I did feel that this time things had a bit of a "Saw" feel to it.

The sex:
Three sex scenes. They were very sensual rather than overly graphic. One had nothing to do with the story.

The Special Effects:
I didn't notice any CGI in this one. They went 'old school' and used actual animal guts. It gave a more realistic feel to it. Good call on this one.
One particular kill was the first one where the woman is killed in the street. It looks like she has a day pack under her shirt. this is where the guts were stored for the scene. Really needed to do a better job on this scene.
Maynard is shot in the shoulder. He's hurting pretty badly, but over time he just blows it off. Apparently he also has a self-cleaning shirt, as the blood gradually disappears as well.

The set:
This town sure looked like a small movie set. I was unimpressed. Low budget all the way here.

The acting:
Good acting all around. None of these actors are even American. You may pick up a slight accent from a line or 2 if you listen closely. Very impressive how well they acted and kept to an accurate American accent.

Other random stuff:
The ending of this movie looks a lot like the same location where #3 ended, at a hairpin turn. Pretty sure it's the very same place.
Apparently people don't believe in using their brakes when something goes bad when driving.
Nice BMWs don't have air bags.
Greenbrier county, being a redneck area (I have lots of family still living there) has apparently become very open minded and elected a pretty woman to be county sheriff.

The Extras:
Few extras are included in the Blu-ray copy. No deleted scenes. You get to see how the killings were done and that the next installment may pick up not too far from where this one leaves off. That's about it.

The disc itself:
The picture quality was excellent and well presented with a nice menu system. There is a ton of movie trailers as well, which I could have done without.

I give this one 2.5 stars. It's not far from WT3 in my mind. Actually 3 was better. There was real character development and drama going on in 3. This was more like a bunch of idiots trying to see how fast they can get themselves killed. So this would be the worst of the bunch. If you're a fan, rent it. Read more ›

I liked the movie. Nothing really new from the others, although the back story is a little different. If you are in to the Wrong Turn movies I think you will like this one also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film if you like the series November 11, 2012

By D. Stephens

Format:DVD

This film really helped me like number 4 a lot more.. Number 4 was so different I couldn't even imagine how it was a prequel to the rest.. This movie ties the forth installment of this film into the first 3 a lot better.. Maynard (The old man from the first two) is back and the main character of this film.. Maynard is what ties this with the rest of the films!

Wrong Turn has made a big change since the first movie. I really liked the "backwoods" "wrong turn" feel in the first few movies of the series.. That feel hasn't been present in the last two which makes them a lot less scary imo.. This movie is still great though! I would recommend if you are a fan of the series

4.0 out of 5 stars Different November 4, 2012

By Amber

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

O my how the killers are becoming more resourceful! Three- Finger and the gang also have a new pal and he's not a deformed family member!! Not going to spoil anything by saying more. Glad i watched it. Even had to turn my head (kinda) on one scene which is unusual for me. Youll have time to think about what theyre going to do, and trust me lol it happens, and the way the cameras show it will have you cringe! In a good way! Horror fans know what Im talkin bout :)

5.0 out of 5 stars GIVE ME A HAND November 4, 2012

By Michael TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Amazon Instant Video

I loved "Wrong Turn 4" but wasn't big on the rest of them. I enjoy over the top slasher films with a touch of Roger Corman. This one opens Corman style with a nude love scene. The film takes place in modern times some 30 years later after...? I'm not sure what, but now Maynard Odetts (Doug Bradley- "Hellraiser" Pinhead) has been there for 30 years but absent from the other films as a killer. I decided not to think too hard on this one and just enjoy the film. There must be more than one branch of cannibal killers in the area.

The town of Fairlake, WV is having a 10 year annual festival celebrating the Hillbilly cannibal slasher...Seriously?

People are in costume which allows our recluse gruesome threesome to enter town with knowledge of cell phone towers, phone lines, and electricity. The film gives literal meaning to "Give me a hand" and "Lend me your ears." The killings/torture was done in different and entertaining ways bordering on Troma style using real pig entrails. Clearly this film is not for everyone. But for those who like an 80's Troma style slasher film, you might want to check this one out.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Amy Lennox, corpse nudity, Bulgarian film actress Borisa Tutundjieva)

1.0 out of 5 stars Declan O' Brien does it AGAIN (and not in the good way) January 9, 2013

By Donna Buckley

Format:DVD

Let me just put it this way; Horror is a dying genre in the film making industry. And this film does NOTHING to give horror any justice. If anything, it's contributing to its downfall. Even though I knew this fifth installment in the Wrong Turn franchise was going to be awful, this film fell WAY below my already painfully low expectations.

Now I loved the first two Wrong Turn movies. They were crazy, creepy, and completely unexpected. That's not to say they were flawless, but compared to other slash n' hack fests I've seen, these were quite driving films. Ever since Declan O' Brien took over this franchise, he's just been soaking it with every predictable slasher cliche in the book, substituting convincing practical effects with inferior CGI gore, and making every character he casts into idiotic stereotyped teenagers/ young adults that value nothing more than sex and drugs.

The entire movie is more predictable than a clogged toilet after taking a massive dump that clearly won't flush. The plot is nothing more than your sub-average dime a dozen generic slasher plot; you have a group of horny college kids (again, horribly stereotyped), they plan on attending a party (the "Mountain Man Festival")...and they get killed off one by one by the hillbillies. In fact, Three Finger pretty much does all the work here. Saw Tooth and One Eye are kind of just shoved into the background and hardly make an appearance for their roles to serve any significant purpose. They'll throw a punch maybe once or twice, but that's it. Speaking of the kills, they are all horrendous. Not in the sense that they're gruesome, but in the sense that it leaves you thinking "what's the point?" It really does seem that Delcan is missing the idea behind the character of these cannibals, and why they do what they do.... Delcan has reduced these once sneaky and clever cannibals into senseless torturers that "play with their food." If you watch the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about. All but one death, which was the first one, was actually relevant to the point of the movie. Every death after that was set up like a scenario you would see in a Saw movie...which is...alright, BUT THIS ISN'T SAW. This is WRONG TURN. These are CANNIBALS, they EAT their victims, they just don't torture them for no reason and leave them in the middle of the street. Declan seems to miss this every time, and this is what makes his movies directionless and just flat out stupid. He seems to be more interested in creating morbid death scenes and pointlessly drawn out sex scenes that is basically borderline porno footage that have nothing at all to do with the plot than making a constructed story that actually makes sense. UGH.

The acting is so awful it isn't even worth mentioning, much less the characters that decide to constantly contradict the plot. "We're staying in here until dawn when my deputies arive, and that's final. We HAVE to stick together." - "Billy go look for your dead girlfriend while I go halfway across the street to contact some guy who clearly takes me for an idiot, and give my ONLY working vehicle to some drunken bimbo while an impressionable idiot college girl watches over my station with a manical psychopath that clearly nobody trusts except this forementioned impressionable college girl who eventually buys into his BS." If this isn't pure stupidity at its highest peak, I don't know what is. The town? I can hardly call it a neighborhood. It looks like maybe one or two small streets and a couple alleyways at most. In fact, a lot of it looks like the backlot of a studio. You can see large trucks (they are hard to miss) blocking off buildings and pathways. Very unimpressive. In fact the festival that's going on only has about 5 minutes worth of footage in the entire 90 minutes this trash film runs for, and when the cannibals arrive everyone in town except the main cast just suddenly disappears? This film is just heeps of flaws and poorly executed...well, just about everything in this movie is poorly executed.

My advice? Stick with the first two movies. They are MILES better, have great effects, plots, and tons of gore, and even sex that doesn't detract from the plot more than that is necessary. Five is by far the worst installment in the Wrong Turn franchise. And from beginning to end you're not going to be "wowed" by anything exceptional since the entire movie is predictable and cluttered with just about every known slasher cliche in the book. If there ever is a sixth movie, I can only hope Joe Lynch will direct it and Declan can stop butchering this franchise. (pun intended). Skip over it and watch the first two. You'll thank me later.
