AKA: Hopefully the last film in the franchise. A movie so poorly liked, that's when you check out the synopsis on IMDB it only states "Danny and his friends go to Hobs Springs."
Don't believe me? Please, go take a look at it. I'll wait right here.
WTF right? So let me try to shine a little bit of light on this entry into the Wrong Turn franchise.
After learning that he is the only living heir, Danny inherits a resort from his deceased family.
He takes his friends up for the weekend in order to check the place out but is shocked to find out that his friends are being hunted down and that the killers may be close to him than he ever expected.
This has to be the funnest intro I've gotten to write about in this series. Now, it's time to get down to business and bow our heads in shame for even having watched this non sense!
So let's start off with the normal complaints just to get them out of the way.
Like in the two previous entries in the series, all the freaks are alive and well so we are once again aware that they are going to live.
The special effects were pretty bad, but I have seen worse in the franchise. They actually seemed to try and avoid using computer imagery which I can give a plus to them in my books for this one.
The masks used by the inbreeds however? Worse make up effects yet. No mouth movement at all and nothing but muffled sounds when Three Fingers is yelling at his brothers about something. Of course the moment he turns around, they add in his laugh which is clear as day and does not match his voice levels or muffles at all.
Now, the story could have been decent had they actually had a real story line and not just a bad idea to go on. Everything in this script was just horrifyingly bad from start to finish, especially the disgusting excuse for a finish.
The actors were mildly entertaining at best but one of them stuck out like a sore thumb.
Saddie Katz character looked like she was on drugs through half the film and the other half, she looked normal. Now I don't want to be the guy who is specifically bitching about anybody in the industry but Christ, either get some sleep or lay off the crack pipe!
Conclusion:
The last three films in this series have no reason to exist next to someone trying to make a quick buck off the name of the series alone.
And thanks to a lawsuit, this franchise may never see the light of day again until it gets rebooted or re-imagined or re whatever the hell they do. (Info is on IMDB and Wikipedia)
Do not bother with this movie. Avoid it if you can as it has nothing to do with the franchise.
