Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (Unrated)



Go watch WT2 again instead.
I'm a fan of Wrong Turn 2. Its a movie I've watched half a dozen times now. WT2 and Hatchet both take me back to my days as a teeneager watching what were (at that time) great slasher movies. So I was excited to see WT3 being released on DVD. To everyone involved in this movie - shame, shame on you.

When a horror movie is great, I don't mind plot holes. When it sucks, like this film, I simply can't abide them. Can someone explain to me how a mutant is driving around in a tow truck and no one knows he exists? Gas, oil changes, new tires and spark plugs - is there some sort of mutant gas station on the mountain that accepts animal skins in return for a full tank of gas? And how is it that an armored car went missing with tons of cash and no one went looking for it? And how the heck did it end up miles from the road? And if mutants use money to buy gas, why didn't they take all the cash?

Horrible acting, characters you don't care about, a complete lack of creativity...

Disappointing
I was anxious for this movie to come out, because I liked Wrong Turn part 1 and part 2 alot. But this movie was a disappointment for me. It looks very low budget and just seemed boring to me. I bought it instead of renting it, because I own the other two. But I would recommend renting this before buying it, unless you are like me and just buy it to have all three.

AWFUL! PARTS 1 & 2 WERE GOOD BUT THIS ONE BLOWS!
This plays like a bland Syfy channel movie! It has that 'TV show' look and its NOT scary for one second! The 'gore' is incredibly fake with some of the WORST CG you'll ever see in a movie! I'm tolerant of low-budget FX and love some of the lowest budget movies ever made but this is just 'off the charts' BAD without the unintentional humor that would make such lameness worthwhile. It's sad to see a series that had potential get the axe like this (I loved the first 2 movies in the series). The actors are all so damn generic and their lines are delivered so blandly that you can never forget you are just watching a movie. There are no decent charismatic characters like in the first 2 movies. Every scene is lit by massive spotlights even though most of it takes place deep in the woods at night. The redneck mutants look really stupid with big oversized heads that are like bad halloween masks you could buy in a store! This thing is awful on so many levels it would take a book to list them...
