Backwoods terror and never-jangling suspense meet when Jen (Charlotte Vega) and a group of friends set out to hike the Appalachian Trail. Despite warnings to stick to the trail, the hikers stray off course-and cross into land inhabited by The Foundation, a hidden community of mountain dwellers who use deadly means to protect their way of life. Suddenly under siege, Jen and her friends seem headed to the point of no return- unless Jen's father (Golden Globe (R) nominee Matthew Modine) can reach them in time.

Critics Consensus

Wrong Turn is a cut below more effective horror outings, but viewers in the mood for some gory chills will find that this franchise reboot does more than a few things right.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Shouldn’t of been called wrong turn if it is not even similar to the original. But had an amazing plot and acting. I would love to see a sequel.
