Review of Wrong Turn

Wrong Turn (I) (2003)
Not a wrong movie.
14 June 2003
Wrong Turn is an excellent, scary, fast-paced horror movie. The premise has stranded kids searching for help but instead stumbling into the lair of a pack of deranged, backwoods freaks. The disfigured creatures have made quite a habit of capturing motorists and butchering and eating them. After slaughtering two of them it's up to the remaining four to escape. Wrong Turn is the rare scary movie that has good acting and character development as well as adrenaline-pumping, creepy scenes. Jeremy Sisto and Emannuelle Chriqui do a good job of gaining sympathy with their portrayals of two people in love and Desmond Harrington is very adept at playing an action hero. Eliza Dushku, who is a beauty with raging talent, makes a fine lead actress. This is a perfect movie with no flaws. Even the cinematography is above average. Look for the scene in the watch tower with the gorgeous shot of the setting sun. Wrong Turn is an ideal summer movie that will make you think twice about camping.

I can honestly say I consider this one of the best horror movies of all time. The film grabs your attention from the opening scene and doesn't stop until the very end.
