Wrong Turn is a missed opportunity to rethink some genuinely deep subject matter, and all the more disappointing for it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2024

Having no allusions about Wrong Turn's prospects, my low expectations were surpassed.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 17, 2022

How rare that the seventh film in a long-ignored series can reinvent the premise so cleverly.

If they'd tightened these ideas up just a tad, mainly by sharpening the viewpoint, then this movie might be a new modern classic. As it is, though, it's mainly a sometimes exciting detour.

Pure and simple survival horror. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 22, 2021

Wrong Turn finds its agile equilibrium in the balance between being a film of ideas and a film with a body count.

WRONG TURN is Nelson's swing for the fences and it is an admirable feat, especially with the franchise's rocky reputation.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 20, 2021

This remake of the 2003 horror/slasher movie (and the seventh entry in the franchise), is filled with annoying characters and dumb situations and can't make a reasonable case for its own existence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 17, 2021

Campers in trouble Part 86 gives way to a curiously current portrait of a country divided and a loving father surprisingly good with an ax.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 12, 2021

At nearly two hours long, this film is by far the longest film in the franchise, and it overstays its welcome at the 70-minute mark, with the entire third act focusing on the father character looking for his daughter.

| Mar 11, 2021

A surprisingly ambitious franchise entry that delivers arguably 3 films in 1 (sometimes to its own detriment). When the film aims for political commentary, it falls flat, but the set-pieces, the practical effects and that final sequence are gold.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 7, 2021

These backwoods adventures have grown tired and Wrong Turn doesn't breathe any necessary new life into the genre.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 2, 2021

Wrong Turn effectively breathes new life into the familiar horror franchise while still making viewers wary of going into the woods.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 2, 2021

Efficient and enjoyable. A couple of horrifying and haunting moments. The whole thing doesn't make any sense at all, and it scores zero points for originality, but it has a really haunting final shot and it does exactly what it set it to do.

| Mar 2, 2021

There is a lot of movie crammed into Wrong Turn's 110-minute(!) runtime. Some of it doesn't work, but most of it works just enough to merit a recommendation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2021

Director Mike P. Nelson creates a handsome look and generates alternate surprise and suspense by springing things on characters and showing us traps they haven't noticed.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 1, 2021

The first half of the film is entertaining, but when the overall mythology of the film is revealed, it bogs down and sinks under the weight of being too ambitious for its own good.

| Mar 1, 2021

Wrong Turn has its issues, but it's entertaining and a fun watch if you like a brutal backwoods film with a bit more to it than just kills and blood.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 28, 2021

An effective movie, well done, and taken down a different path.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 27, 2021

Although it's admittedly beholden to clichés, 'Wrong Turn' keeps from falling into enough narrative traps to arrive at an exciting destination that clutches you by the throat.

| Original Score: B | Feb 27, 2021
