Several scenes prove to be quite graphic. Its atmosphere undeniably achieves this, however its not alone, it is true to say that this film is not for the squeamish. It is just a horror movie, with the distinct and generally successful aim of scaring and entertaining. What I really liked about this film was that it didn't try what so many other horror movies as of the last seven years or so haave tried- and that is to be ironic. I of course will refrain from elaborating on these details so as not to spoil the viewing for those who have yet to see it.
WRONG TURN 1 UNRATED MOVIE
In fact, I found the atmosphere that the movie exuded to be so compelling that I failed to notice certain flaws that would normally aggravate me in a film. Not alone this, but I feel that it is safe to proclaim, as i'm sure have and will many others, that the atmosphere is one of well created nail biting tension, which lasts throughout the duration of the film.

However, in spite of this, a distinct empathy can be felt for the majority of the protagonists, who you really don't want to fail victim to the insane, murderous, mountain psychos. Yes, it is true to say that it does follow along the same vein as many other horror movies in that many key aspects of it are quiet predictable. Thankfully, what i discovered was notably more enjoyable.
WRONG TURN 1 UNRATED PLUS
I decided to see this movie mainly out of boredom plus an eye-friendly cast was promised, so i basically thought it'd turn out to be another standard popcorn horror flick. So gripping that you don't notice whats wrong with it til its over What a rush! (3.5 out of 5) So Says the Soothsayer. It is always in your face and it doesn't let go till the credits. I liked `Wrong Turn' purely because of its shock value and its no holds barred return to classic horror. But come on, this isn't exactly an intelligently written and detailed drama. I have always liked Lindy Booth but she has nothing to play with here and the same is goes for Jeremy Sisto. The rest of the cast play typical generic 20-somethings from the horror film franchises of old. I wasn't extremely familiar with Desmond Harrington before this film but he plays a good leading man. Dushku loves to play debutantes with edge and her character here has a lot of it. Dushku is strong and emulates some of her `Buffy the Vampire Slayer' character, Faith in her portrayal here. It's the film's harrowing tension and atmospheric pursuit that overshadows the young stars that make up the cast. Schmidt could have easily dived down the gore shoot to hell but he made a wise choice that works in spades. The parts we do see are horrific but the filmmaker relies heavily on the chase and shock than on the gore. I also liked how Schmidt barely shows the mountain men throughout the film. I really liked some of the early editing of this film by director Rob Schmidt, who allows the scares and shocks to come with brilliant accuracy. But if you love horror films then you probably have an ear to ear grin as well.

You are exhausted and maybe even queasy when you come out of the theatre. The tension in this film is harrowing and relentless as it bats you back and forth. The best way to describe the experience is that if you took 2001's `Joy Ride' and `Jeepers Creepers' added 1972's `Deliverance' then threw them all in a blender. Not since the 1970's `Texas Chainsaw Massacre' has a horror film such as this been made. There hasn't been a film this gory, grotesque and chilling in a very long time. `Wrong Turn' was in one word an utter shock to the system. Before the group knows it, they are in a fight for their very lives. Living in the woods around the crash is a family of cannibalistic mountain men who are overtly grotesque from generations of incest. Unbeknownst to them, they are being stalked by an unspeakable horror. The group splits up as they try to find some help. Finn takes a back country road to avoid a traffic jam and ends up involved in a car accident with three debutantes (Eliza Dushku, Lindy Booth and Emmanuelle Chriqui) and their boyfriends (Jeremy Sisto and Kevin Zegers). What's worse than a leather-faced madman chasing you through the bush with a chainsaw? How about three!! `Wrong Turn' stars Desmond Harrington as Chris Finn, a man who is late for a very important interview.
