Movie Info

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.

Critic Reviews for Wrong Turn

All Critics (48) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (31) | Rotten (17)

  • Wrong Turn has some decent booby-trap business but can't find enough that is different to enliven the weary concept. But for the horror hardcore, keep watching once the credits roll.

    Ian Freer

    Empire Magazine

  • Just because the film takes itself too seriously doesn't mean a viewer has to.

    February 25, 2021 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

    Katie Rife

    AV Club

  • It's a bit silly and queasy, but the narrative motor keeps humming.

    Peter Bradshaw

    Guardian

  • [Wrong Turn] is a brutally uncompromising descent into unflinching terror that kept me on the edge of my seat.

    Sara Michelle Fetters

    MovieFreak.com

  • McElroy and Nelson evolve Wrong Turn into a bizarre, winding odyssey, albeit with a lot more on its mind than just a cool kill.

    Nick Allen

    RogerEbert.com

  • This new update shares commonality with the franchise in name only, opting instead to create a tonally-confused road trip into the unpredictably bizarre.
