Lame
The Wrong Turn movies have always had a special place in my heart. The first film was glorified trash, but it was enjoyable despite its shortcomings. The second film was an ultra-bloody blast that was better than the original, while the third film had its share of good things, but was overall disappointing. This fourth entry, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, finds our favorite inbred hillbilly cannibals back to doing what they do, only this time it's in an abandoned mental ward where a group of sexy friends get stuck inside on a ski trip. While that sounds ripe for bloody fun, Wrong Turn 4 is sadly dull. The characters are unlikable (as are the actors playing them), the film is predictable, and there's a torture scene that seems to never end. There's some great gore effects on display though, and the hillbilly clan makeup is disgustingly well-made, so the film isn't a total loss all things considered. All in all, if you're a fan of the Wrong Turn franchise, give Wrong Turn 4 a...
LET'S HOPE THIS IS THE BLOODY END
A truly bizarre and disturbing opening in a West Virginia sanatorium sets the stage for this fourth entry in the WRONG TURN franchise. Writer/director Declan O'Brien pulls out all the stops in this derivative, bloodsoaked and ultimately revolting film.
Set in a beautiful snowbound setting, we get the expected group of stranded collegians whose primary focus in life is sex and booze and doing stupid things. O'Brien attempts dark humor to "lighten" things but to little avail. The three redneck cannibals are vile, disgusting and incredibly intelligent considering their uneducated background.
There's no real suspense since we know exactly where the movie's going as it IS a prequel. The gore is plentiful and nauseating, the prime ingredient in the deluged torture genre. Can we really call this "entertainment"?
I enjoy a good horror movie, but this one's just plain horrible!
Let's Hope This is the Last One
This was just stupid!
***SPOILERS***
You mean to tell me that in this sanitarium that there are no guards and that they have NO contingency plans for if the inmates get out of their cells? Okay, why not? But on top of that, NO ONE goes investigating when there is no word from the sanitarium, or when the people who work there don't come home at night? No one investigates this at all? Maybe if this was the 1700's that might be believable, but this is MODERN times.
So then our dumb main characters show up, and frankly I watched this 12 hours ago and as I sit here I can only remember ONE character's name, "Vincent" cuz they were yelling it over and over again. When I can't remember the characters names it's a real failure on the part of the writer because it means there is nothing memorable about them.
So they come across this abandoned nut house and they just decide to barge on in because it's getting cold out and there's no other place to...
