Wrong Turn: Critic Reviews

A blood-simple backwoods spatterfest that makes shameless use of the same old antirural moonshine Hollywood's been bootlegging for decades.

Lazy would-be horror film.

A stultifying blend of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, boot camp, and maybe The Blair Witch Project, Wrong Turn is profoundly less than the sum of its influences.

To call Wrong Turn tedious and uninspired is to be kind.

The sole saving grace of Wrong Turn is its honesty. You get exactly what you expect -- blood, guts and people being taken to the killing floor. But just because it's honest doesn't make it good.

It's gruesome and nasty and a heck of a lot of fun for people who get a kick out of Fangoria.

A negative pickup by Fox, dumped into theaters on Friday without benefit of press previews, Wrong Turn is steeped only in frightless torpor.

Dull, humorless slasher flick.

It was a mistake to have one of the characters refer to the film Deliverance in this low-rent horror flick, because all it does is remind us of much better cinematic efforts.

Suffers a fate similar to that of many other horror and supernatural thrillers released in the last decade: It leaves you with the feeling that you're watching an episode of The X-Files, only Mulder and Scully never show up.

The understatement of the year. Essentially, ax-wielding rednecks unite in a slasher flick that drives itself into a brick wall of no return.

It gives what it promises: violence, creeps, and solid performances from the great cast...

It's the usual quick-cut, this-is-all-we-can-show-you R-rated mayhem.

A cut above the recent lot of slasher films...it does not feel as if it has to cater to audiences who want every plot point spoon fed to them.

Headed in only one direction: straight into the toilet.

Ao contrario da maior parte das producoes do genero realizadas nos ultimos anos, este filme acaba se revelando acima da media gracas a boa direcao de Rob Schmidt.
