Let me start off by saying this much, i understand the negative reviews for one reason and one reason only...the name of the movie should have been called The Foundation (spoiler alert kinda) and not Wrong Turn. This is not a Wrong Turn reboot or movie. Its something else entirely and thats a great thing. I give it 8 starts because of that and the movie did run way too long but the reward at the end was worth it. Im a major horror movie fan and i have seen all the horror movie tropes, yet this movie had little to none of the usual bs. I gotta tip my hat to the writer for going a completely different direction and making the movie more grounded. 20 to 30 mins could have been cut but the story was absolutely the best thing i have every seen in a horror movie. The movie itself has the best set up and twist i have ever seen in a horror movie. Friday the 13th, Halloween (not the 2018), Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, the original Wrong Turn, I Spit On Your Grave (original and reboot with i love), Last House on the Left (both original and reboot) My Bloody Valentine (love original not so much the reboot) you name it i have seen it. This is the most original and rewarding horror movie i have seen in my life. This should be called The Foundation though. That would have easily got the movie higher stars. Standing ovation. I will be watching again. Highly recommended but watch before 7pm though lol. Its a long sit. Great job guys.
